Although i love it. I love that i express how I feel. I love being able to laugh at what i think is funny!
At my receptionist job, i hear a lot. A lot of chatter. A lot of gossip!
There are a few dogs that come in with their owners.
One came in today, it was the fattest dog ever. looked like a little pig. It was a very light brown, tight curly hair ya know one of those ugly dogs. poodle or some shit, all the residents were ogling over this dog. One of them commented "its fed healthy" i was on the phone at this time and stopped for a split second trying to stop any laughter that might take control. That is the nicest way someone could say your dog is fat! I thought it was so funny for some reason.

Just a thought..
The best tasting pancakes do not look perfect.
The best chocochip cookies are not perfectly round.
Your favorite shirt has a hole.
The most valued photographs can fade.
Even the smallest of things can break someones heart.
Even supermodels lipstick smears.
The brightest of stars can go out.
Love yourself.
Love everything around you..

Being a receptionist…
I got this new job at the best retirement community in the state. Front desk. How the fuck. Although i have impressed myself. I was not nervous to talk on the phone. Like when did that happen! The phone rings every 5 seconds, 7 if your lucky. So my training was very broken up. Every time she would start to talk, the phone would ring. And of course they are monitored. So i have to make the conversation as quick as possible so that i wan open the phone for the next call. One phone for hundreds of calls an hour. I am so surprised at the amount of responsibility the god damn receptionist had. Answering all calls that come to a 50,000 sq ft building. Transferring them, and answering the stupidest questions. Selling things to people, having to know where everyone is at, all the times to everything, where and when its happening. Not to mention when the fire alarm goes off.. yea, we have to take care of it. It is mentally exhausting. Very stressful. People get frustrated with you. I hate letting anyone down.
The parts i love about my job, i get a free delicious meal every day. I get free access to the wonderful gym and pool they have. And the residents… most of them are lovely. So caring and sweet. There is one that has won my heart.. She is a blind resident, and knows me by voice. On the day there was suppose to be a snow storm she called just to see if i got to work alright. My heart melted.
Thursdays and Fridays are the worst. I wanted to cry so bad. The other receptionist told me her first week she cried every day on the way home. I can relate. I searched my brain for excuses to quit. I found one, but need a new job to make it happen. Im going to say that I'm moving to seattle. I love my job but i wish it wouldn't of been the most busiest place in the whole community to start out with. I want a cubicle that i can decorate. That i can stay in all day and do my work. Not dealing with people face to face. Especially not dealing with money.

Let me fail if thats what i want to do.
Maybe i don't want to do what everyone wants me to do. Maybe i want to do what makes me happy. Some people don't realize the "one career for the rest of your life" isn't for everyone. Maybe i want to do everything.. And anything, that i am capable of. i want to explore whats out there. Whats for me and whats not. Maybe i don't want to get straight into what i went to collage for. Maybe i don't want to answer all these questions about my life that you shouldn't be asking.
I want to live my life. Don't tell me all the negative things that will go along with any decision i want to make. LET ME FAIL. At least i can say i did what i wanted in life.

The boring stuff...
So it was one of the most stressful days of my life. I woke up at 3:30 in the morning (not to mention i kept waking up because of nerves and what not) and make sure i had all of my shit together. My anxiety is horrible, so ever since i got my date in the mail i had been freaking out, worrying, and all that. I have this horrible fear of always being late, so i drive almost two hours to get there to be an hour and a half early. I study for half an hour then take a quick cat nap in my car. My classmate had the same date and time as me so that helped a lot to have her there. She had the luxury of staying in a hotel near the building and not driving two hours. We waited until they started letting us in the room…
The goods (aka more boring stuff)…
There was a full house, all 31 desks were full. We all lined up, had our papers out and ready. Gave them the papers, they took our picture and then our fingerprints. Got assigned to our seats. There was a trash can already there. Which was shocking because i freaked out because i forgot tape to tape up my garbage bag. so i stopped at wal-mart that morning to buy a cheap trashcan. Just to find out they provided a freakin trashcan. So any who.. It was a manicurist desk. very small. It had one drawer that was the size of the desk. We had to distribute all out materials out onto/in this desk then put our bags in the other room. I was shockingly not very nervous. Just realizing that they do this allllll the time and every other person in the room was in the exact same position as me. Despite not being nervous, i was shaking like a leaf. And the observer noticed. Aww… The hands on practical took a little over 2 hours. Then we had a bathroom break that took forever because there was only one stall working. When that was over we went into the computer room taking the same numbers we were assigned to before. As always i was the first one done, i even took my time and went over them twice! There were a few questions i had no idea what they were, come to find out it was all the pilot questions :/ Aced anatomy:) After that it was the waiting game. Had to wait for everyone to get done with the written exam, then had to wait on the results. I seriously thought i failed, i felt HORRIBLE about it. I was seriously planning on a rescheduling date and what i was going to do next time to make it better. After an hour of waiting after that, i got my results. I was so freakin nervous opening that paper i was shaking so bad. My heart dropped when i read "Congratulations"… I squealed and got so excited!! I was a licensed esthetician!
