Today I'll be searching for a new job. Last night at my current employer was terrible.

Last night at work started out okay; some former employees I once worked with came into the restaurant to have a couple of drinks. We talked for awhile as I didn't have a real table of customers for two hours into my 4:00 o'clock shift. At around 4:30 Justin, scheduled to serve yesterday evening, explains to the manager how he "took Tanner's bar tending shift" and how "Brandon (another manager) forgot to change it in the book." 

Why is this bad? Two reasons: 1) It forces two servers to take care of the restaurant and 2) It forces ME to stay LATER!

We ended up getting slammed busy with a 35 top reservation and I didn't leave until 10:45... Essentially, I was at work for 6 and a half hours and walked out with 20 bucks. What do I have to say? Fuck. That. Shit. 

Meghan, the manager, was a complete thundercunt about the situation too. I've called her a shitty scheduler to her face; she doesn't like me too much... this is the reasons she's a shitty scheduler- because we didnt' have enough people on to handle the volume of the party. 

Okay- I guess I've ranted enough at 9:00 A.M.

Enjoy the day, pretties! 

Swine Flu

Ok... I'm sorry, but this shit just scares me.

So I'm reading about this about a week ago and I'm thinking to myself, "Wow, that's terrible... thank god it isn't anywhere near me----FUCK!" 

I'm reading the article on Yahoo front page and it says that two cases of swine flu were detected in Saline County, Kansas. Guess what? It's like 100 miles away from where I am! That is not cool! Not to mention the fact that I'm a germ freak as it is. 

I find this to be really suspicious, though. How in the hell do three specific strains of the flu virus combine into one super flu virus? Avian bird flu, regular human flu, and swine flu- all in one? AND- not to mention that the outbreaks seem strategically placed. It starts in poverty stricken areas within Mexico (where people are dying). Then, it hits directly in the middle of the United States, the West AND East coasts, and 10 other countries around the world. Doesn't that seem like a little fast for the flu virus to spread? From CONTINENT TO CONTINENT?!

I'm not one to invest ANY of my suspicions in life on the government... but this is just too weird for me! I don't know what to believe!!! Wash your hands mother fuckers!

21st Birthday

Literally five seconds ago I posted an update and mentioned my twenty-first birthday. Well, I got really excited and I though the topic of my twenty-first needed its own post. 

May 16, 1988... I was born to two loving parents (whom six years later divorced) and became someone's brother. I love my family, dearly, and I'm so excited to finally celebrate a birthday without them (with the exception of my sister, of course). Birthdays 1-20... you go out to dinner with your family and possibly have a little party with your friends. This year, though, I'm going to out to dinner with my family- THEN going out to the bars! Revolutionary, right?! I know! It's so exciting! 

Listen- ever since I've been at KU, I've had friends that are older than me. It sucks, because every weekend they're wanting to go out to the bars and drink. It wasn't that big of a deal during my freshman year- I had a fake I.D. that nobody could touch! But, I ended up dropping it on the floor and never found it again. I'm sure it was someone who knew me... who realized that the I.D. was fake- and they fucking sold it. Mother Fuckers!

I guess what I'm trying to say- in the most sporadic post ever, is that I'm really excited to be able to go out. 

LIKE........ 18 days? 20 days? BLECHHH!!!

I'm definitely getting back into the swing of things with the workouts. I'm excited- I feel better when I'm working out hardcore.

For those of you that don't know my story- I once weighed about 210 pounds. Now, I'm around 135. Losing weight is easy as hell- anyone can do it. After doing what I did to get to this point, I really don't tolerate excuses.

Biologically, human beings are meat to be physical more than just three times a week. Really, we're built to be physical seven days a week. I'm just saying... if you're serious about your health, revert back to a more primitive lifestyle and use the body that you're given. It can do amazing things, seriously. 

Other than that- today is pretty boring. I work at the restaurant at 4:00 and before that I have nothing going on. I'm probably going to make some eggs real quick and head to the gym. Oh- side note... swine flu shit is scaring the shit out of me! I don't want to touch anyone/anything when I'm out and about. I almost wish that I had a surgical mask to wear.

I'm even more freaked out because, as a server at a restaurant, I'm constantly touching people's silverware, drinks, plates... dirty napkins- bleahh!! So disgusting! I don't want to catch the flu of the swine!

Oh, and I think something else happened recently.... uhhh what was it- oh yes. My cousin of nineteen years just found out that she was pregnant and we're going to her shotgun wedding on the 8th of May... just 8 days before my twenty-first birthday. Sweet. WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SO STUPID?!

Life Update

Where to start? How about where I left off... I bought another iPhone; I simply could not live without the luxuries it provides. I am super connected again!

Things between Drew and I have gotten a lot better. There is still a ton of stress in our lives, but we're committed to managing it to the extent that it doesn't effect the relationship. He had a job interview at a really great organization (non-profit) yesterday and we're pretty sure that he nailed it. 

On the down side... Drew's cousin MaryEtta is in the hospital battling throat cancer... she has a tumor on the left side and a blood clot on the right side. We've been staying at her home in Kansas City to take care of her bed-ridden 100 year old mother. Talk about stress.

OH- positive thing! My dog, Everest, learned to shake hands. Bravo, Everest, Bravo.... you little shit.

LOVE YOU,

Cam

Oh my god it's been forever since I've updated. I'm sorry, guys- I'm a terrible blogger. Things have just gotten really, really busy. So here's the deal- basically I've had to drop all of my classes with the exception of one: I haven't been going and I'm not going to take C's. I'm fairly confident that my parents are going to murder me when they find out that they've paid for fifteen hours of credit I didn't complete.... hopefully they won't find out! 

Aside from that, I think things are going pretty well. Things at home are a little awkward, I think. My boyfriend and I have been living together for the last eight months, and it's been an experience. We don't really fight at all- just coexist pretty well. 

Our schedules have gotten really stressful lately... so it's bleeding into our home life. Neither one of us is motivated to do anything really, and it's pretty upsetting for me. I just want to make sure that he's happy; he's having a good time. When I see him stressed out as much as I do- I feel like it's my fault to some extent (even though I know it isn't).

I just wish I knew what to do, you know? 

We just went to the Britney Spears concert last Thursday; my sister, Paige, came with. I will have to say that Ms. Spears is the absolute shit; she really knows how to put on a show. We had a blast just dancing and getting drunk. Six drinks was $80.00 at the Sprint Center. Can you believe that shit? 

OH- and check this negative crap: I DROPPED MY IPHONE AND THE GLASS COMPLETELY CRACKED! I am so pissed off! Now I have to get a new phone- A lesser phone, actually, because I can't afford to pay the retail price for the fucking iphone. So...fucking...STUPID! 

What do you do?

Anyway- I'll post more later.

LOVE YOU GUYS!
