Well, yesterday was my last day at Blockbuster! I COULD have probably worked today because I was ill on Wednesday and didn't go in. But I didn't push the issue. Andrew and I both have come to the conclusion that I am not a very pleasant person when I am lacking sleep. I get a lot more irritated at people for silly things and a lot more stressed out about stuff that could be talked over rationally. So now I have my KM job from 1-7PM Monday-Friday and 8AM-6PM on Saturday. They are also going to talk to me about getting in some more hours. I actually don't mind the long days, it was just the hours I was having to work that wasn't fun. I'm hopefully going to work my way into not having to work every Saturday, but that sounds like it is a few months off. My pay is now $10/hr at KM which is nice, and any extra hours they decide to give me will be nice.
So, for the last poll I had up for the Jolly Rancher Flavor...Grape one. Thank you OH so much, Anthony, for having your friends spam my poll and cheat. =p loser. Just so you know, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, watermelon is still the best. I just wanted to know what the rest of the world thought. Now I know. For lack of better ideas I put up my new poll. If anyone has a fun idea for a poll, please comment on the page. Try to keep it clean, some people who look at this page may only have the mentality of a five year old (*cough* Anthony...=D).
On more fun news, I am uber excited (yes, I said uber. Sometimes there is no other word for it) for this Sunday. My one day off with Andrew and we actually have a plan set up with is almost kind of like a date. We are planning to go to the Harry Potter movie!! And I think we may hang out at the Millenium Park beforehand to pass the time. I just hope we can even get into the movie. The midnight showing was sold out, and this is the first weekend of the movie. If we can't I will cry. Or just pout. Maybe I can even convince him that we should go out and eat.
Another exciting thing is the French market that happens every Saturday right down our block. Fresh fruit and bread and other cool stuff! For a reasonable price, too. Last week I got a little carried away but I bought cherries, blackberries, plums, mushrooms, bread, and various other things. We plan on picking up some more fresh string cheese and bread this weekend, I think.

Hey Athena!
Mom sent me the link to your blog and I finally got some time to catch up on reading it. Glad things worked out so you only have one job. I have been remodeling the downstairs bathroom. Ran into a snag with the sink drain but otherwise it's going well.
Dad
Hi Dad!
Sounds like you've been keeping busy! I finally got to chill out on Sunday and not do anything. We went to the Harry Potter movie Saturday night and I started falling asleep towards the end. Good movie, but we didn't get out until 2AM.
"won" sorry guys sometimes I rub off on Athena. But ha! anyway, you can spell things wrong too :) Harry potter was really good. I haven't read the book in ages so I don't know what kind of horrible things they left out but it was a great movie anyway. Very very funny and heartwarming. I can't wait for the next ones. Two thumbs way way up!
Yeah, well, we can't all be perfect though I can pretend I am. The movie was good, though. What parts I didn't fall asleep through. That must be my dad rubbing off on me.
