GAP
ok, here's the deal. i realize i work in retail. i also realize that working in retail requires a certain amount of folding and straightening. HOWEVER, in no way do i believe it is necessary for people to just toss items about while looking for a size. if someone asks if he/she can get you a size while you're strewing things about, let him/her get it for you 'cause you're makin a mess! last night was my first shift at GAP. it went pretty well. for the most part, the girls that work there are nice but quite young. most are freshman/sophomores in college or still in high school.i have a busy weekend which is great. tomorrow, i get to have lunch with a friend that i haven't seen in a long time. he was actually my best friend's RA when we dormed. after that i get to go home, relax, and look at the thousands of tadpoles that have taken up residence in my parent's pool. not to say that my parents don't take care of the pool. it's just that in their absence, the pool goes a bit astray so they usually chlorine shock the heck out of it when they return. my parents are kind hearted though so they are going to wait it out until those tadpoles grow up and hop out of there.
at work, a few of us were talking about rattlesnakes (i forget how we ended up on that topic). i had a few stories to contribute myself. one of which still gives me the willies. i think i was about 14 or so when i was outside messing with ant-lion holes. i know. it's weird, right? well, this is one of the things i used to do at home when i was bored. anyway, i sat down and thought, gosh, that was pretty squishy. i got up and looked down but didn't see anything at first. then i noticed that i had not sat on dirt but in fact on a little rattlesnake all coiled up. when you want to and even need to scream, it's funny that sometimes your voice fails you. my mom happened to be walking nearby and i caught her attention with my wildly flailing arms and finally choked out that i sat on a rattlesnake. she called my dad over and he killed it. woohoo! fun times in topanga folks!

aww, that is so nice of your parents to wait till the tadpoles grow up! although i think it would be kinda gross to have thousands of frogs jumping out of the pool. but still, it's very nice of them =)
