today is joes' first day as the press assistant. he didn't sleep very well last night. i think its 'coz of nerves, he says its 'coz he's had too much (mountain dew) code red. whatever.

he said he had a pretty good day today which was good. he was looking very dapper this morning in his dress shirt, slacks and spiffy loafers. i wanted to take a picture before we left for work, but he wouldn't stand for it. pakipot pa. oh well. a bunch of ppl from marketing took him to lunch at macaroni grill, and he gave me his leftovers. isn't that sweet? thank goodness he did too, 'coz i didn't have time to get myself food.

i was in the box office all day today, for the first time since i got the subs assistant job last june. it was cool. i've missed it. a few things have changed, but on the whole i got back into the swing of things with no problems. it was like riding a bike. i was supposed to get outta there by 2p, but i ended up training lorenzo for the windows for the rest of the day. yes, me. the one who hasn't been in there since june. heh. i just half-assed it and i told him too. told him to just take what he can get from me, and the rest nicole will show him. she is the one who should've trained him after all, if she hadn't left early for a "so-called" dental appointment. he picked up fast, except for the way he was calling out to the patrons. "how can i help you, man?" and picking up the phone going "wsup, foo?" yeah, hehe. it was cute. i was bustin' up right behind him.

the reason i was asked to be in the b.o. today was 'coz there was supposed to be a lion king pre-sale for disney premium seats (those are the ones that cost $127 each) and disney visa card holders. nobody came to the windows for that. i wonder if ppl actually called for those on the phones?

is anyone really willing to pay $127 (plus fees) for a seat for lion king? i mean, the show's good, having seen it before (for free c/o nikki, thanks mucho!), but i think thats too much. granted you get a prime location, the comemorative ticket stock and a free souvenir, but over a hundred bucks? that souvenir better be good. i've seen the ticket, and its not all that. i want a frickin' headdress, man.

what some ppl do with their money. ::sigh:: mine go to bills. and um, shoes and bags and such.

speaking of which, i got suckered last week. i was gonna head over to target to get a lint roller. which cost about $2. i parked just past it and to get there i was gonna have to go by payless shoe source. a big orange banner that said "buy two, get one free" screamed out at me.

guess what happened next?

i've seriously got the worst self control. i frickin' walked in and walked back out with 2 pairs of shoes and a purse. gah! but i'm thinking of it as a good investment, 'coz i bought a pair of boots for the winter. although, i'd say anything to justify a shopping spree. jean and i are stopping by there tomorrow so she can check out the merchandise. not me, nope. i'm just gonna window shop. this is the point where kristine and joes will laugh at me saying they know better. well you don't! so there!

has anyone tried quizno's steakhouse beef dip? daym. that thing's the shizzle. its sooo good. joes and i had it yesterday for dinner, and jean and i are planning on getting it for lunch tomorrow. hehe. seriously, its that good.

got nothing accomplished this weekend. mainly 'coz friday night, joes and i found out we were broke. so we gotta wait 'til this friday to get funds. this was after we hung out at bj's with co-workers to wish jodi bon voyage, in life (she quit the center) and for her trip to the east coast. that kinda ate into more of our bank.

that same night, i got a worrying voicemail from an upset melissa. my poor friend. we ambushed her on saturday for girlfriend support. it was a last minute thing too. nikki calls me that they're planning on surprising melissa and taking her out to dinner and if i wanted to go. i said sure and got ready. 10 minutes later, chai calls and says they're outside waiting for me. sofia was on the way from riverside too.

10 minutes away from melissa's house, we decide to call her to make sure she's there. no pick up. girlfriend was at work and we end up waiting 1 1/2 hours for her to get home. she gets a load of missed calls from me, nikki, chai and sofia in the meantime. we kill time with idle chit-chat and a puzzle thing that sofia brought along. guest of honor finally gets home and we run her over to noodle world in alhambra. she's dealing very well despite the issue, and i'm glad. she's finally maturing. there's some slight stalking tendencies, but i'm assuming thats normal. well, for her it kinda is. hehe.

rambling post huh? i just wanted to update you on what's been going on since the last time i logged on. if you managed to read the whole thing, man, you need to get a life. bleh!
