I just got home from work. I kind of went cruising after I clocked out before I got home. Eh. I really don't like Petersburg. It's a ghetto piece of shit and it can't go anywhere but downhill from here. It sucks. After Richard Bland, I feel like I can't stay here much longer. Either way, I'm not giving up anymore. I swear it this time.

So. Just when I thought I was being screwed over and that my boss was bullshitting when he said he was going to make me a FES, the lady who was in charge of me today trained me a bit. It's cool. I swear, I'll still be the nice Tammi that I am once I officially get the title, but my job is going to be so much easier. I don't have to worry about other workers within my ranking not doing their part and putting it all on me because I will be able to get them in trouble. This is not to say that this has been going on, but it sort of did at the other Michaels I worked for.

I wonder if my boss thinks it's annoying or really good that I'm giddy and high-spirited with customers. Heh. I think he likes me quite a bit. He went out of his way to comment on my accuracy yesterday. ^.^ Yayness. Seems as if I just keep moving up.

I think there are three potential friends at my job so far. I'm not really interested in gaining work friends, but I really feel like I can identify better with these people than I could at the other store. I mean, I definitely think that #4716 is more professional than #2032, but #4716 was full of rich people that I absolutely had nothing in common with. One of the girls I work with told me today that she is twenty-two and is going back to Richard Bland. Nice.

Oh! I hung out with Anna and Shannon last night very briefly. We went to Francesca's house, but she was dead asleep. I met her mom and she seems so nice. She seemed like the type of mother I'd love to have. (Mommy, I still love you.) I learned that she works at the arcade in the mall. That's kind of cool.

So me, Anna, and Shannon went to Ruby Tuesday's after I'd mentioned Tauheed. Of course, he wasn't working that night. Figures. We ate anyway and now I owe Anna big-time because she paid for my dinner. While we were eating, we kept tripping out. I don't know what it is but Shannon reminds me of myself. She's pretty funny.

"The only reason I called him was because I wanted him to unload my U-Haul" rofl!

When Anna dropped me off, Tauheed was still nowhere to be found, so we gave up the search. It made me sad to leave. I don't wish that Anna still lived in Petersburg - I wouldn't wish that on anyone - but I miss hanging out with her. I wish I could be in Richmond with everyone else. Hmph. Patience and time, I need.

I talked to James last night and I was still a little peeved from the night before. That's okay, though. I'm not dwelling on it, but I think I can see the picture now.

I talked with Josh a little. He seemingly likes me now, which I find strange. He gives me this comforting and friendly vibe - the kind James gave me when we first started talking - and I don't like it much. Hm. I like it, but I don't trust it. Like I've said, I think I really am done with taking guys seriously for right now unless I am just sure that I've found the "one". Josh is really nice and flatters me, but though he makes $400 a week (and I mean this in the nicest way possible), he seems like a kid to me. Not only that, but he smokes (if you know what I mean).

No more kids. I am only romantically interested in men now. I can't go back to dating boys after I've been with James. Heh. Before, I couldn't understand the logic, but I can't be with a guy who's not either making a career for himself or at least going to school. It's a no-no. Sooner or later, I may just want a family, and I can't have a husband for a child or even just a boyfriend I feel I'm babysitting. End of story.

Anyways. I want to take a nap.

Oh, and Anna told me that Peggy called her mom and asked where she got her car from. Hm? Methinks Peggy has something up her sleeve. Would be nice if it was a car for me. Hah. Not holding my breath.
