I am sleepy, but too excited or I guess nervous to sleep. I am hosting a bridal shower today, and I hope it goes well. The damn thing has me totally broke. Well that and I got sick this week, so I couldn't work. I hate money. But then again, who doesn't. I am surprised I actually found a wireless connection, but extremely pleased that I did. Great, now that I typed that it will go away. Why on earth is cable and internet so damn expensive? I guess because you don't really need them. But I need power, and that is expensive too. My overdue bill, which I haven't paid yet bc I don't have the money, was $150! The great thing about paying the power bill late is that they don't charge you a late fee. They have a 3-week grace period or something like that, which is up this week.
So get this, my work is open both thanksgiving and Christmas, but we are closing tonight for an employee party! While it is nice that they do that so we can all go get plastered together, I would much rather spend at least one holiday with my family. They don't live here, so I have to travel, which means I will be unable to see them for either. Damn it. I really fucking hate being a server right now. I wish I could hurry up already and finish my degree. I know that once I do my job will pay less than serving full time does, but it will be worth it. I so look forward to a job were I can tell someone "no." I hate that I have to bend over backwards just so people like me. Really if you think about it people pay your bills depending on how much they like you! If you hate me, even if I give you the best service ever, you still aren't going to part with much cash for my sake. grr.. It is way too early and pretty this morning to be pissed. I already took a walk before the sun rose this morning. It is so nice! I wanna go camping!!!!!

I hear ya about working holidays but I mostly don't care about working them because they're more important to other people than they are to me and most of them I don't celebrate anyway. Working on Christmas is not a problem for me. Heh.
Having said that, if I wanted to celebrate a religious holiday and work wouldn't give me off for it, I'd quit. I don't care what the job is. I guess it's tougher, though, when it's a holiday that almost everyone asks off for.
And I second that vote for seeing Muse live. I saw them however many years ago when they opened for the Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their set was amazing.
