Lesson #2
LESSON #2: Never spend more than you make in a day.
I spent my five hours at work today ticked off that I had agreed to come in on my former day off, because there were too many staff kicking around for me to have been needed at all.
I was further ticked off by the fact that all the gratuities from the alcohol I had served would not be going to me, but would be divided among about 9 other servers who were not serving at the time.
I COULD have been out with my friend Jody or at the AIDS conference, but alas, I was at work. However, I decided it was unproductive to be upset about it, so I looked on the positive side, that I would make at least some money that I otherwise would not have.
But then I went to the mall with Jody. I spent 10 bucks on a plug adapter for the phone I had in France, only to find out a few stores later that the phone was locked and could only use SIM cards from the French phone company that the original plan and phone had been bought from. THEN I went to East Side Mario's for dinner, and paid for my dear friend. THEEEENNN I got suckered into buying this exfoliating scrub from the Dead Sea.
I ended up giving the Dead Sea Scrub to Jody because she seemed to want it more than me. I was just pissed and guilty I had been suckered into it.
And so, Emily ends her day with negative earnings, and nothing useful to show for it.
For shame, Emily... For shame.

Lesson #3:
If your name is jody, always go shopping with emily. you get free food, and exfoliating crap.
Wow, it actually makes me feel better to know someone else I know did it too! Stupid exfoliating stuff. I try not to regret things but I think maybe buying 2 pushed me over the edge. The stuff is made of SALT...I have a science degree...what was I thinking? I gave mine away to my sister, she refused the bonus angst that came with it.
I blame pushy sales tactics. Let's go picket in front of their stand :D
