Quote of the Day

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd be at the bottom to catch them.

Tuesday Morning on Saturdays

     <---link

 

I think I just got a part time job here this past Friday. The cool thing is is that I'll only be working there Saturdays and I get a 20% discount! Sweet. Sure, I'll only have one lousy day off a week now, but I'll have some extra cash. I'm surprised they'll let me work there only 1 day a week. But it's perfect for me since I'm still working full-time at HBO!

I hope they pay me more than  $7.50 an hour because of my 8.5 years of Walgreens (retail) experience! We shall see!
