Haha, Saturday my coworker, Nathan, was convinced it was my birthday. When I met Amberly and him for work at 4:45 am, he was the only one who appeared perky and cheerful. After Ameberly and I mumbled sleepy good mornings, Nathan piped in with a bright, "Happy Birthday!" Now Nathan's a goofy guy, so I figured he was just being silly and said, "Why thank you, but it's my unbirthday actually." But he bubbled out a couple more birthday-ish things and thrust out card and gift. I was taken very off-guard. Being a very NON-morning person, all I could do was blink stupidly at my name scrawled on top of the card and try to think. Seeing my confusion, he started to look confused, and I had to tell him twice that it wasn't my birthday. "Well...well...when IS your birthday?" "September." He looked a little smushed. And darted off to his car to hide the card and gift again. It kept us in good humor most of the early part of the morning. Apparantly he thought I had said the day before that it was going to be my birthday. I have no idea what I really said, as I said nothing at any point about anybody's birthday, but it was still sweet of him to think of me, and it makes me laugh every time I think about it. It completely saved my otherwise rotten day.

Our manager's been in town only a couple of days and already people are getting rankled again. I feel a little torn because I like my manager a lot as a person; he's a good guy. But job wise, there are definitely some problems. For my part, it's hard not to get a little angry when your superior doesn't always take responsibility and holds you to a standard he doesn't hold himself to. Meh. I hope stuff works out before it hits the fan. Isaac and I are just holding on until we can open the Pelham store.

I just realized that, since I keep this blog public, the sister I don't like could completely access it. I better remember that and keep all the really personal stuff for lj. Sorry to those who aren't friended there! You can always ask and I'll consider adding you.
