| So, I guess when I'm in charge (both of my "superiors" were on vacation
this week), the jerks decide to come out of the woodwork and pick on a
girl.
Jerk 1 blames me for his misfortune, lies about the day he ordered,
then blames me for everything else others did, and wants $295
back. I give him a phone number to call to get it all sorted out,
he never calls it, then calls ME back a few days later wanting to know
why no one got back to him. When I told him I was under the
impression he'd been in contact with someone, he says "you better
change your impression, girl".
Jerk 2 is not typically a jerk, but his boss made him act like
one. He'd made a typo, which then affected the work we did, then
after we were done with all the work, he realized he made a typo.
We gave him a discount for the correct work but his boss thought that
wasn't good enough...he needed it for free.
Jerk 3 is the customer of someone who is one of our customers.
Our customer paid full price for this report. HIS customer calls
us, asking for this report for free. Um. No.
Jerk 4 calls and asks something for nothing.
Jerk 5 is indecisive and can't decide exactly what he wants until I've
sent him 2 things (potentially, we lost $180 out of this deal)
Jerk 6 orders something, then once we finish ALL the work, starts
thinking "oh wait, maybe that's not the day I actually wanted, can you
let me know?" Umm, that's why you spend the money on it, so you
can figure out if it's the day you wanted!
This sounds like a wonderful week to pick on a girl. It makes me
wonder if I'd see all this disrespect if I were my "boss". And
even the typically nice customers I have that cheer me up and make my
job totally worth it, they were non-existent this week. If I
didn't feel wrong about drinking alone, I'd be breaking into that wine
right now.

| Best movies of the summer:
1. Transformers - seriously, everyone must see this movie. I
never really watched or played with the old Transformers, but I loved
this movie, and it's so much more than machines and explosions.
2. Meet the Robinsons - I know this came out earlier in the summer, but
it was so cute. There were definitely bust-your-gut funny parts,
and since it's Disney, you're not gonna get violence if you don't want
it.
3. Knocked Up - Hilarious. But only if you're into the "Wedding Crashers"/"40 Year Old Virgin" kinda thing.
4. Nancy Drew - Yes, this movie bombed, and it's aimed at kids, but it
was still pretty good. Very cheesy at some parts. But I
found that it gave girls a great example of something to look up to: a
nice, smart, athletic girl that didn't try to skank herself up.
5. Ratatouille - I went in with no expectations, since this movie
didn't interest me at all, and came out not feeling disappointed.
I guess that's a good thing? I thought it was cute, but probably
my least favorite Pixar movie.
6. Spiderman 3 - Worst movie of the summer. One of the worst
movies I've ever seen. I'd seen the first movie of the trilogy
and thought it was pretty good. Maybe the movie would've been
better had I seen the second one? I laughed through the movie
about how ridiculous it was.
Movies I still want to see:
1. Hairspray
2. License to Wed
3. Waitress
4. Blades of Glory (still in dollar theaters)
5. Live Free or Die Hard
6. Surf's Up
Movies I'm not interested in seeing:
1. Harry Potter 5
2. Pirates of the Caribbean 3
3. Shrek 3
4. anything scary (1408, Captivity, etc.)
...Just not interested in the slightest...never got the whole mass
hysteria behind HP, Pirates, or Shrek. And for the scary ones, if
I'm gonna pay to see movies, I don't want to see them through my hands.
Let me know if you guys have any reviews from the movies I still want to see.

| My new favorite quotes:
"That is the last time I ever go after a man, ever. My original
strategy of waiting politely, being ignored, and then being passed over
for someone else was a million times better."
"There's no such thing as ruining your life. Life's a pretty resilient thing, it turns out."

| It really sucks when you have a really great friend that you're
planning on hanging out with when you move to the town they live in,
and for some reason, even though you've tried getting a hold of this
person, you never hear back. You think the world of this person,
and they won't return your calls or messages. You haven't done
anything to hurt this person whatsoever, so it's not like you can
apologize for something. At least let you know what you've done
wrong before they wash their hands of you. Because it really
hurts.

I'm tired of being the understudy. Sometimes I just want to be the lead.
