12 Hour Nap

Tony

I spent the night over at Tony's again last night. I headed over to his place after I got off work, which was around 7. He played a little guitar for me when I first got there and then we ended up just falling asleep a little later on. We probably fell asleep around 8, and we just stayed asleep, and didn't get up until 7 this morning. Yeah, we're such bums.
Friday night I worked til close at Target and wasn't planning on seeing Tony that night as I had to work the next day at 11. Tony was hanging out with his friend John and Tony had left some beer at my house the night before and wanted to come pick it up. So when I got home from work, Tony and John came over and I was expecting them to hang out for a bit when John says, "Hey, I'm just going to head out", and he left. So I got stuck with a buzzed Tony. I didn't really mind, I like having Tony around. But we couldn't really hang out tomorrow morning as I had to go to work. "That was a sly move." I told Tony. "Just having John drop you off here."
"No, I really thought he was going to stay." Tony replied. "But I did want to see you."

So Tony knows that I have feelings for him; he knows that I really would like to have him as a bf, but with that I have always known that it would most likely not happen. For one thing, Tony told me he didn't want a gf at this time, and also, he said that he wouldn't want to run the risk of ruining our friendship by taking that next step. But last night as we were sitting on the couch, we started talking about....I don't quite remember exactly, but it had something to do with me having feelings for him. Anyways, Tony made this comment that really shocked me. "Liz, you think that I don't feel the same way as you do?" He asked.
"What? With me having feelings for you?"
Tony admitted to me that night that he does have feelings for me that have only gotten stronger as time has gone on and wouldn't mind me as a gf. But as I've heard before, he also said, "I just won't do it though."
Tony's really worried about ruining our friendship, as he has told me before that he has never talked to past gf's after breaking up with them.

Oh well, if it's meant to happen, it'll happen. For now, he's just a really great friend.

Target

I've been picking up some hours at Target lately. I just really need some money, especially since I'm going out to Seattle. Work hasn't been going too badly lately. It's nice now that I've worked there awhile. Now whenever someone new is hired, I don't feel quite so shy or anything and so I'm making more friends that way.

Not all is good at Target though...Target recently hired a new GSTL (head cashier/team lead) and her name is Faustina. Ugh, I don't like her. The first day that I worked with her, I was carrying around my water bottle and another cashier had a cup of water. We were both standing around waiting to get assigned lanes and she just looked at us with guilty eyes and said, "I wish you weren't carrying around drinks." Instead of saying that we were breaking some rule, which we weren't, she was trying to make us feel bad about it. Ever since I started at Target, I always saw cashiers bring out pop with them to the lanes. Though I never asked if it was alright if I did, the GSTL's always saw cashiers with pop, but they never said anything about it. All of a sudden, Faustina comes along and it's BAD. So then guess what happens...a couple hours later another GSTL, Monica, came around to each lane and told each cashier about the new Rule: You cannot have pop at the lane. Water is fine and you can only drink it when you are not with a "guest."
Now, I realize that it's really nothing to make a huge fuss out of, but seriously Faustina, cashiering sucks and you should know this. Oh, it's "real fun" to stand around for 8 hours and go through 200 people who aren't all happy to see you. It's nice to have a little break and take a sip of pop every now and then.

Blah, people suck.
