I'm not mean, I'm just misunderstood.

Today, I am happy.  Very happy.  Sickeningly happy.  Very few things put me in such a great mood.  So I'll have to explain why today was such an exceptional day.

1. PUMPKIN SPICE IS BACK AT STARBUCKS!!  This may not seem like anything to normal, non caffeine addicted people (who don't like pumpkin flavoring), but to me, this is like finding a freaking $100 bill at my feet that says "Ashleigh, do with me what you will! I'm all yours".  Okay, so I may be exaggerating, but probably not.  This means that fall is almost here and that I can buy all sorts of fall associated things (all of which contain pumpkin).  I almost cried.

2.  I finally got to yell at somebody!!  It felt so good to just be a bitch.  I need to embrace this more often.

3.  Here's the clincher to my happiness--I was passive aggressive in a big way.  Explanation:  In December, I started hanging out with this guy that I have liked for a while.  Things were going great, we went to Miami for my birthday and were pretty much attached at the hip.  Then, he decided to go back to his ex-girlfriend that cheated on me.  Okay, whatever, it's better to have loved and lost and all that nonsense.  But then, this girl has the BALLS to say some nasty shiz to me.  So, I still have a fair amount of his stuff and today was the last day that he was here before he took his munchkin skank back to Chicago.  I wore his favorite shirt and drove past him today.  Whilst burning a hole in it.  And flipping him off.  Like this

SUCKA!!  And yes, it does in fact say the Vibrators (it's a band, for all the non-hipsters out there).

Literally, if I become any happier, I'll have to drown kittens just to balance out the Universe.

I have never, under any circumstance, whistled while I worked.

I hate when I'm in between jobs.  Even though I currently have one, I just don't want it, so mentally, I'm out of a job.  Though I know I shouldn't complain (the economy, unemployment on the rise, blah, blah, blah), That doesn't mean I can't complain.  And as complaining is one of my top 4 favorite things to do (the other three being lying, drinking coffee, and singing), that is what I shall do!

So here are the pros and cons of my job
Pros (might as well start positive and end with a bang!):

1. I start early, so I still have the rest of the day to do with as I please (i.e. drink coffee, watch hulu, sleep the important things).
2. I do enjoy 95% of the people I work with.  My 2 bosses have become like big brothers to me, something I've always wanted and never had.
3. I get to be independent.  This is important as I generally enjoy doing things alone.
4. Two words: Rolly Chair, nuff said.
5. ...The top four were enough.

Cons:

1.  I start early, meaning I can't stay out late.  Ever.
2.  I do a manager's work on a meager pay.  This includes, but is not limited to, being screamed at by customers, being screamed at by employees, being screamed at by anybody else who really wants to complain.
3.  Having to take responsibility for other people's problems.  This is why I have always preferred to work alone.  If I made a mess, I'll clean it up.  But now I'm forced to clean everybody's messes.  Ah, c'est la vie!
4.  Did I mention starting early?!?!  Seriously, I start at 5:30 am.  meaning I need to be awake by 4:30 am, just to sort of stumble in to work.
5.  ...I'm surprised, I really only have four major complaints about work.

So, yes, I would love a new job.  Or at least to get paid a bit better.  Might make putting those pearly whites on display slightly easier before the sun comes up.
