It really bothers me that most of the time I'm thinking about random, stupid things and going on little rants about them in my head but then when I try to remember them later to write them down (because they can be kind of funny) I can never remember the subject. I wish there was like a recording device in my head (thats not my memory) that could remember all the stupid things I say and think.
One thing I just remembered! At work this month we're selling those shamrock things to raise money for the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) which raises money to send kids with muscular dystrophy to summer camps and stuff like that. It started yesterday and I felt really bad and kind of hypocritical when I was working last night. I always got annoyed by the people that would ask me if I wanted to donate to things. I always thought, "If I wanted to donate my hard-earned money I would do it. I'm here to shop not to give away my money." Or something along those lines. But now that I actually have to do it, I'm realizing that those poor people were just trying to do their jobs.
This year they're having a contest for us. For every 25 shamrocks we sell, we get a $5 coupon that we can use on anything in the entire store. And, apparently, the reason their pushing it a lot this year is because one of the managers was working at a store last year that raised 10 grand. I guess he wants to top that or match it.But last night I got 18 so I didn't do too bad. I even got people that said no at first to change their minds. Namely the goatee guy. (He actually doesn't have his goattee anymore either!) But he said no at first and then, becuase I'm such a pleasant and cheerful person, he changed his mind and told me to put the my name on it. So even though I only raised a dollar for it, I count that as 2 on my personal tally. =]
