Brain Mush

Oh my goodness I don't think I've ever sat through an 8 hour class before. Holy poop its not fun. Well, it was alright. I didn't die. Thats a plus.

However, here are a few things that made it interesting:
1. The District Manager of Loss Prevention came in today. He was exasperatingly boring. Also, he had a creepy eye. You know those people who have an eye that seems to kind of have a mind of its own? Now I'm not talking about a lazy eye. Lazy eyes are funny. This guys eye, this was creepy. I was sitting in the exact position to where every time he looked down at his laptop, his left eye would be awkwardly staring at me. At first I didn't notice, but then once I did I got the chills and was so creeped out I wanted to leave. It was like his eye had its own mind and was staring me down every five second. ugghh I get the chills just thinking about it.
2. I got runner up for most Tilly's-representative clothing for the guys. Hurray. I think I would've won the guys, but the other guy had a bunch of friends in the group. pssshhh whatever. no I'm just kidding it was kind of a joke anyway.
3. we did a bunch of role-playing and it was really funny and all around fun. I think it was the awkwardness. No one knew what to do at the beginning so it was just kinda extremely awkward. great times.
4. Also, I'm now known for the word "awesome" I started using it probably at least once in every sentence subconsciously. Whatever. It fits who I am... (hair flip)
5. And apparently the Swiffer is going to be my new best friend. ... I remain skeptical

On another note, putting an extra pair of sunglasses in my car might have been the best decision of my life. Everytime I go in my car and think "shoot! I forgot my sunglasses and now I'm gonna crash cuz I can't see...I guess I better go get some." I can now also think "oh wait! I have some right here" (cue "tada" sound) Anyways. A great decision. I highly encourage you to do the same.

Also today, I wanted to die a little. You will not believe how many places I went to in order to get a smog check for my car...sooooo lame. Apparently I needed to go to a "test only" center and only God knows how many of those there are. The first place I went to wasn't a test only and they informed me that I need to go somewhere else. (oh oops.) The second place's smog machine was down. (really? ugh. lame.) the third place I drove about 30-45 min cuz I couldn't find any other ones closer and they didn't do smog checks. (ohhhkay you're joking, right? what kind of lube center doesn't do smog checks?...this sucks) and eventually I went to a 76 (yes. a 76 gas station did my special "test-only" smog check. go figure.) and they were super awesome I'm definitely going back there the next time I need a smog check. It was the 76 on Mira Mesa Blvd. They're awesome.

So You Think You Can Dance was awesome.
I'm soooo glad they brought back some of my favorite dancers from the past seasons! (Courtney, Mark, Lauren, ... others) I'm sooooo excited to see what happens. I'm also extremely glad that they showed all of the dancers this season in their own style the first routined show because some of the past seasons, sometimes you didn't get to see a dancer in their own element until a few weeks in and that was lame.
Its awesome.

goodnight.

Is Tilly really a girls name?

So today was my first day of training.
We all (about 20 something of us) walked into the conference room at the hotel and it was like a dance party. music Videos playing. music pumping. candy all over the tables. we each had our own personal folders. I was stoked.
However, it was rather boring.
6 hours of sitting and listening to information. Halfway through the orientation I thought to myself, "I feel like I'm getting brainwashed." And then I pretended like I was on a secret mission to get the information out of the Tilly's corporation and it became much more interesting.

Also, I made the district manager laugh. The first time, we were introducing ourselves and we were supposed to give an interesting fact about ourselves. (and let me tell you, everyone likes to have fun. how boring) I stood up and informed the class (thats what it was really, a class on how to be a Tilly's employee) that my favorite animals were penguins. My district manager laughed and said "That's my husband's favorite animal!" We have so much in common.
Later that same evening, we were going over dress code policy and my assistant manager didn't know the difference between flip-flops and sandals and apparently flip-flops are against our policy since they don't have a back strap. I told him that flip flops flip and flop while you walk. My district manager gave me a high five and laughed. I think we're well on our way to being great friends.

On another note, me and the girl next to me were talking about how we had no Tilly's-style clothes hardly at all. Just then we were informed that we were going to have a fashion show tomorrow and whoever could represent the Tilly's fashion vision would be the winner. I looked at her and laughed. I'm screwed.

What else happened at orientation?
Oh yes we had a lego building contest. It was a little bit anticlimactic. whatever. my team got 2nd place. apparently you don't get a prize for being the 1st losers.


p.s. I'm obsessed with this video for some reason I think its hilarious and have been secretly quoting it in my head for the past ... since whenever I heard it.

I Dreamed a Dream

Well I thought I was a bad speller, but wow it took me at least 4 tries to get past the "we think you might be a hacking robot so you need to type in what this picture says in the box below."

Unhelpful to my self esteem.

Hurray. I have a blog. A blog for the sole purpose of blogging.

So I do not expect anybody to read this.

At all.

Well this is fun.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have something more exciting to say.

[p.s. dyed my hair.]

came back to bite me in the butt. More like a chomp. A chomp in the butt.
