The past few days have flown by. I worked, I pissed ppl off, and switched shifts, saw 2 plays and rushed around Chicago like a lunatic. On Wed, Megan sked me if I wanted to see the MHS version of The Music Man with her and her sister on Friday. I agreed, having completely forgotten that I had previously made plans with bff for Friday afternoon/evening. Well that pissed bff off and her wrath snowballed through the week.
On Thursday I worked and was going on my break when Caroline came through the self check out. She was in a real pickle - she was stuck with Wicked tickets and couldn't go. She asked if I could take them. Being a good friend, of course I agreed cuz I'm selfish and want to see Wicked. I asked bff if she wanted to take the other ticket, but she was in the middle of something and pissed at the world so she screamed at me again. Baaad move cuz 2 hours later she found herself stranded at the train station with nobody to pick her up. Who does she call? Moi :) It's a good thing I like bff otherwise she could just go live at the train station. You'll hear more about train stations in a few minutes. Anyway, I agree to take Care's tickets and get Megan to go with me. Now all I have to do is get out of working Saturday evening so I can go...that shouldn't be a problem right?
Friday Arrives. I go to Jewel. I talk to Nancy in general pleasentries. Nancy is all business cuz she is the only person doing floor coverage and she just wants the world to fuck off and leave her alone. I get to the point and begin my snake charmer act - I get bit in the face immediately. "You can't just not work, you have to switch and I don't have time to deal with this now, you have to wait at least 15 minutes rawr!" I figure, that ain't so bad, it gives me time to go look at the schedule and figure out who to trade with and find out if there is a train to catch. I go upstairs and call bff. She tells me that there is a 12:40 to Randolph, which is perfect because I can get out of there by 12 and we are headed to Randolph. In the meantime, Nancy has calmed down enough to deal with me. She's still pissed and hisses at me. I tell a few crappy lies that she doesn't bother to question. I apologize a few times but mainly stay quiet as to not piss her off again. We get through everything and I get my hours switched with Matt. I'll take his morning shift and he takes me evening. Things are looking up for Mission Wicked. In an attempt to make things up to bff, I come up with an elaborate plan to go play Kingdom Heart 2 with her for a few hours, grab a quick dinner and then we both rush off to meet Meg and her sister at the HS, now joined by Caroline. Things ended up being a disaster that caused bff to be semi cranky. I thought she was doing better than the previous day but apparently, her very own family took her aside and told her to be nicer to me *evil laughter that echoes throughout the galaxy* The Music Man was good, but I swear the orchestra had a few margaritas for Cinco de Mayo cuz they were horrific!!!
Finally Saturday morning rolled around. I had prepared to be cutting it close with time so I took a change of clothes to work. I worked 3 hours and 45 minutes, and Nancy was kewl and let me skip my break to leave 15 minutes early because she knew I was traveling to Chicago, she just didn't know my full intentions :) Because I was let out early, I called Megan to give her a heads up which was insane because that's when hell erupted! Meg tells me that bff had misread the train schedule and looked at week DAY and not WEEKEND!!! We would not be able to make it to see Wicked if we had to rely on the South Shore Train. I told Meg to wait at my house so that Dude could help do whatever we needed to do and I arrived home a few minutes later. Megan's family was kind enough to set us up with a Metra Train. We made it there a little late, but we did get to see Wicked :) We almost had to go live at the train station ourselves after our 8pm south shore ride home left at 7:55 without warning and without us on it! NOW WHAT THE FUCK WERE WE GOING TO DO??? We ended up taking the Metra back to Homewood, which pissed Dude off lol. You know this story can't have a happy ending right? He made it to the Metra station before we did and saw two trains stop at the station. We didn't get off on either of them so he was sure we had missed our stop and were on our way to St. Louis or something. He was just about to go inside the bar across the street and drink when finally TADA! WE GOT OFF THE TRAIN!!! Ah, but the fun didn't stop there. Apparently Dude didn't pay the toll while hurrying to get us, then when we were all in the car, Megan spilled her ice cream all over the back seat :D
That brings us up to today. Since Dude was a total hero last night and didn't kill anybody, I let him make eggs and I actually ate them :) It was Nana's 82nd birthday today and I dusted, got the cake, got Nana, we all went to dinner and then I took her home. Now I am going to bed. Congratualtions if you made it through the whole entry :) See ya soon!
Death to the world
