Slow Saturdays, part II

Feb. 13, 2010

Work was slooow. It didn’t help that there were like sixteen of us there. To top it all off, we had to work with Lai, who’s now our second head bagger. I’m not sure whether or not she was giving us nasty looks all day, or if her face is just naturally like that, and I couldn’t understand a word she said to me. At least I got to spend time talking to the cool baggers. Jeff got us all these cute little Valentine’s Day cards, which made me feel both warm inside and nostalgic, because the last one I got was probably back when I was ten.

After last week’s horrible Saturday, I was hoping to make some decent cash today. While I did make more than last week, it still wasn’t very much compared to previous weeks.

I found out that I got paid for my internship yesterday, but overall I’m not making as much money as I used to. My most expensive purchase since school started was the video card I got yesterday—which was somewhat necessary because my old one was making my computer crash—and my second most expensive was a frappuccino from Starbucks. Speaking of which, I’ve severely cut down on my splurges like Starbucks and Stingers. They’re a “once-every-two-weeks” thing now…which makes me a sad panda. :(
