She was the happiest person I've ever met and he killed her. I don't get it.
No one will ever understand what really happened, no one will ever know what really happened and it makes me so sick to my stomach.
Life is so short...make it worth it. You never know when will be the last time you see someone.
I bought a pineapple to cut the top off and grow it. Hopefully it works and I'll have little baby pineapples in 2 to 3 years. Neiman Marcus is amazing and being the assistant department manager for cosmetics and fragrance is even more amazing. I've gotten like $3k work of free cosmetics, fragrance, and skin care already and I've only been there for like 2 months. I love my office, it's nice and quiet and my staff is insane. I work so hard it's ridiculous; but I'm happy doing it...and stressed. I still miss Swatch like crazy, but it looks like that store is going to be closing down, which makes me really happy.
My $600 tax rebate comes this week, then I get to buy my MacBook. I'm super stoked on that and I'm so happy my friends that work there are giving me their employee discount. I'm buying my Burberry python bag tomorrow and I can't wait. $7000 bag that I'm getting for $500 with Juston's discount it's so fucking cute. I feel bad for spending the money, but I haven't bought anything nice for myself in a while and I can afford it- so why not.
Went to Jason's wedding in North Carolina. Hated the drive, but the wedding was a lot of fun. I'm so glad I was able to be there and see them get married.
I think that's about it.
I'm going to be the Cosmetics Coordinator at Neiman Marcus. It's ridiculous I even got this position, so I'm really stoked. I'll be overseeing a staff of at least 40. Yay and I'll have my own office. Plus the pay is pretty awesome. I'm really happy. It's about time life cut me a bit of a break.
Actually, I said my life was alright- that's a complete lie. Realistically it's a huge wreck. I lost my job at Swatch. I feel like complete shit about this. I'm so embarrassed, and I know I have no reason to be, but I still am. It was completely out of my control. The store has been so dead, we were still beating our last year's numbers, but it wasn't enough for me. My district manager was a mess when he had to let me go, but it was really out of his control. I can't remember the last time I cried like that. It just happened on Friday and I've cried everyday since. I've applied for about 50 jobs between Tampa and Orlando, only about 3 of which I'd actually be excited for. I haven't heard anything back yet, except for Nordstroms...which is probably one of my least favorite options. I feel like such a loser not having a job. Luckily I'm getting two weeks severance, but still...it's only two weeks. Not working is killing me, I've never been out of a job for more than a week or so since I was 14, so this is a huge change for me. I don't even know what to do with my life right now. I'm looking at classes to go back to school for Marine Biology, but I don't know where I'll find time for that, since I do need a full-time job. I feel like someone died, or I just got dumped, it's ridiculous. I devoted nearly three years to that company and moved to a city I'm not even that fond of for this company- and this is what I get. I'm going to be so pissed if I end up working in Orlando and having to commute there everyday. I feel like I wasted years of my life. I put everything into that job. When they needed me at another store, I went-with no notice. They needed me, and I'd be on a plane the next day. I worked my ass off for them, not just at my store, but at about 5 other stores over the years- and this is what I get. Nothing. I've seen them do this to so many other managers, but I didn't really expect it to happen to me. It really feels like a bitter abusive relationship, where you give someone your all and they just use you up and leave you feeling empty and abused. I feel bad for my employees too- they're all sad and call me almost everyday, and it really breaks my heart. Most of them will be leaving, I just wish I could make things better for them.
So what now? 10 years retail experience and now I have nothing... I filed unemployment, which made me feel like a loser. I'm losing my benefits in a few weeks, which sucks since I have pills and whatnot that I need insurance for. My 25th birthday is coming up in April. I'm feeling old. If I don't have a job by then, I'll probably jump off a bridge. I'll be god damned if I'm 25, unmarried, and not employed.
I guess I'm done venting, I just needed to get that all out. I'm trying to stay positive, I think that will only last a few more days. So, hopefully someone calls me soon.
:/
- Mood:
depressed
I don't know if it's the pms or what, but I think I'm on the verge of some sort of breakdown. I'm so fucking stressed it's ridiculous. Why is it at 24 I have more stress than the average 45 year old? I'm young, my life should be about fun. Instead it's about my overly stressful career that seems to put the weight of the goddamn world on my shoulders, car payments, bill payments, and a mortgage. I still haven't even thought about planning the wedding yet. I'm feeling like I'm growing up too fast, but I can't stop it. This whole buying the house process has really been adding a lot of extra stress. I just can't wait until they finish building it and we can move in. They're planning it to be done in November, it can't come fast enough. At least that's a stress that will be resolved, my job on the other hand, who knows. I love swatch so much and I love my job, but I can't handle them fucking me over anymore and taking advantage of me. I fly all over the place for this company and I do it at no notice. I moved here out of nowhere because they needed me to, I didn't even have a chance to tell anyone I was moving when they asked me to move, they gave me a day and I did it. I never even got a chance to settle in, it was just straight to work. I do all of this, and I do it with a smile on my face, didn't bitch about it once, and now I'm getting fucked over. I'm working every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday- and I hate that. Juston only has off Saturdays and Sundays and I can't even take fucking days off with him anymore. It's almost blackout period for vacation, and they aren't letting me take it. And that's all just the beginning. I feel like I'm in a bad relationship with an abusive cheating boyfriend. No matter what I do, how much money I make them, or how i've brought this store to being number 2 in secret shops in the entire company, it's never enough. I put in my resume at Apple to be a manager there. I have a great chance at getting the job, however, there is no job available yet. I don't plan on putting in my resume anywhere else, Tampa doesn't have any good stores and there's nothing here I feel meets my standards. My friend James told me to move to Vegas to manage a Steve Madden out there, but that's insane. Juston has an amazing job at Burberry and we just bought a house. Argh if it's not one thing, it's another. I just don't want the stress anymore. I need my vacation and I need some sort of life change.
He has me way too spoiled. We're going away for the weekend. He got me the cutest new dress and the cutest new watch.

Vacation soon. I can't wait...I need it.
My birthday next week...I'm not too excited about turning 24, I am excited about the GPS my parents are getting me though. It's fuckin sweet and does everything.
Houston was a lot of fun. I hung out a bunch, so it made working not so bad.
Juston got a new job, he's going to be a manager at the new Burberry store opening up in my mall. I'm really excited for him. He'll be making more money than me, which is really awesome. It was a little hard for me at first knowing he was going to make more than me, ha but that's just because I'm a brat. It'll be good.
tampa still sucks.
i'm bored.
I guess things are going well.
I was in NYC for meetings for a bit. It was a lot of fun, aside from getting a minor case of frost bite on my hands haha. Got drunk every night with friends and co-workers, slept for 4 hours, sat in meetings for 8 hours. I wore me out but it was definately worth it.
It made me realize how much I miss having a group of friends and going out and just having a good time. I need to make more time to do stuff for myself. It seems like everything I do lately is for my store. It consumes every inch of me and all of my time. Even when I'm not there I might as well be because I'm out buying stuff for my store, answering phone calls from my store, and tons of other crap. blah
Things with Juston are going reeallly well. I love him more than ever and it's nice that we don't have a ton of drama any more.
Now that I hardly go out, I find myself buying more stuff.
I just got these

and a bunch of other stuff I don't need.
Ok, I'm bored of this and I have to get ready to go to the eye doctor. I have contacts now. yay
i'm can tell when someone doesn't like me.
i hate when others make excuses for the person who doesn't like to me try to convince me otherwise.
it just kinda hurts that it's his dad, and him not liking me makes him treat me like complete shit.
i shouldn't have to cry over his dad being mean to me.
what the fuck is wrong with people
blah.
so I got a new car which is pretty awesome. Brand new 2007 Volvo S40 loaded. I'm wicked stoked on that, that's pretty much the only thing in my life that i'm stoked on honestly.
i hate it because lately i've been completely miserable and depressed. i hate everything so much and it sucks. i hate being depressed and this is the most depressed i've been in years. i'm so fucking lonely here. i feel like i have no one. maybe it's no different than it's been but now it's just more apparent to me. i have no reason to wake up every morning and i hate that. the only thing i have is my job, which luckily i love. i don't go out at all here, even less than i did in orlando because i need to avoid the drama and awkwardness.
i just don't know. i really don't know what to do anymore. all i know is somethings gotta change and get better because i can't feel like this everyday
you're one of my best friends
i love you so much and i need you
you have to be ok, there's no other options
The new job has been so fucking stressful. I haven't gotten a decent nights sleep since I've been there, but it's fun. It's a new challege, I've just been taking it one day at a time.
I'm a little bummed right now
sucks I've lost my best friend of forever
another one of my best friends
and my little bro
wtf
life's sweet. :P
maine sucks.
the weather up there was perfect, i loved it. Went to the 100 demons/ Death Threat show. Amazing. I had so much fun and got to see people I haven't seen in a while. Nothing beats going to shows like that up north.
I'm really stressed out with work and everything. I need to find a place in tampa. I'm hoping i'm not completely miserable there. I guess I kinda move there on monday. My job is putting me up in a hotel until i find a place. i kinda wish they could just give me a few weeks before i go up there so i don't have to stay in a hotel. It's going to suck being up there all alone. I'm not going to see juston like at all because he won't have a way to tampa and he's working a completely opposite sched than me. i'm going to be lonely and hating life ha i'll prob end up just driving back to orlando a ton. I def don't wanna be stuck up there on my days off either.
i just want this whole process to go faster. i want to find a place to live and not have to stress out about this anymore. argh
someone find me somewhere to live.
So yeah, for those of you who haven't heard yet, I'm moving to Tampa. I'm not wicked stoked on it at all, but I'm going.
My company offered me a job to be store manager and making A LOT of money, and they're also giving me money to move there, and paying for me to live in a hotel until I find a place to live, so yeah, I really couldn't turn it down. This is the job I've been wanting for a long time now.
I start working in International Plaza next Monday, and for all of next week I'll probably be back and forth because I really don't want to spend everyday in my hotel room.
If you know areas by International Plaza that don't suck to live in, let me know because I have no idea where I'm going to live.
I plan on being back in Orlando a bunch, at least once or twice a week, probably more around twice a week. So it's not like I'll never be here to hang out, it'll be like I never left.
I'm really sad about this, and nervous. I really don't want to leave everyone, but this is my career.
Sucks that I just moved into my new place and just finished unpacking and I'm gonna have to pack it all up again.
I'll have my apartment until Nov.1st, if you wanna rent it let me know.
I'm sure I'll have some sort of going away thing, but I'll figure that out when I know what day I'm officially moving.
So yeah...that's all...
- Mood:
nervous
all of these bummed out entries lately arent about juston, although i'd understand why people would assume they are.
the timing just didn't seem right, and i was promised i'll have a lot more opportunities in fla. hopefully that all works out.
they're probably going to use me to send me to other stores to train staff and whatnot, which would be great.
they might be sending me to pentagon city every few weeks to manage the store and train people and hire a new staff. i told them if they do that, they might be able to trick me into staying there, which is what they really wan to do. if they send me there enough and i like it, i'll def take it, but i can't determin that after only spending like 4 days there. so yeah....we'll see....
i move into my house on the 15th with jen. i'm stoked for that. it's a wicked nice house, it'll be nice to live with one of my best friends and have a roommate again. i wanna move right now,i can't wait.
i'm so up and down with everything right now.
i need to stop expecting shit out of people, it just gets me let down
Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
And if we go down,
we go down together
best friends means,
well best friends means
And I've got a twenty-dollar bill
that says you're up late night starting
fist fights versus fences in your backyard
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
Soaking in sympathy
from friends who never loved you
nearly half as much as me
Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's something unforgivable...ohoh
Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
If we go down,
we go down together
best friends means,
well best friends means
You never knew
well i never told you...
Everything I know about breaking hearts
I learned from you, it's true
I've never done it with the style and grace you have
But I've made long term plans
based on these mistakes
Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's something unforgivable
Is this what you call tact?
I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
so let's end this call,
and end this conversation
there's nothing worse...
(that's right he said, that's right he said it)
I swear, you have no idea
The jealousy that became me thinking
(that's right he said)
that you always had it way too easy
Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's something unforgivable
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
pause
wait no.....
STOP
now.....
rewind.....
let's go back...
before things were complicated...
before everything hurt....i cant feellike this anymore
i need a day off
i still pretty much hate my life right now. i've been way too bummed lately, i can't deal.
i'm sick
everyday is the fucking same. i feel it's all blending together forming the miserable lump of a life i'm stuck in right now.
things still aren't the same.
i think i'm going to have a huge decision to make soon that's going to change my life...
stay here and be with my family and friends with a job i'm content wtih....or take a huge promotion and move to d.c/northern va area....
i want the job, but i don't want the move...maybe the move will be good for me and help me figure out what i want in my life.i don't know.
i feel like there's no reason to stay, but yet a million reasons to. i don' t want to make the wrong decision. it's finally my chance to hit the reset button on life, but now i'm not sure i want to.
someone help me figure out what he fuck i'm doing because i sure as hell can't.
=/
