dude...really?!

So, why is it that guys can really only function by thinking of one thing? So, I was super excited to work out with my Marine friend and we had fun last night at the gym, we ran a couple laps, did some manly bench pressing, and then a fun round of racquetball. Everything is all good with my new work out partner right? NO! He asked me to hang out this weekend and ditsy me thought that is exactly what he meant...Until I got his text today, as follows, in my favorite new website form of textsfromlastnightdotcom

(269) What's up beautiful?

Really!! I still have yet to respond to that text! My name is Emily. You can call me Emily, (insert last name), Em, Emmers or any other variation of my first or last name. We are friends. We will only ever be friends. Why do you have to be like the other 90% of the male population and ruin the good thing we had going by flirting with me? Uuuugggghhhhh! Men!
So, now the question is what do I text back? Gotta text back something...especially since he is a good source to work out with as he is pretty buff since boot camp, but don't wanna hurt his feelings. And I will be seeing him tomorrow at our monthly pool function at the paintball place...hmmm. any suggestions on how to handle this little development?

yesterday

So, yesterday was the most frustrating day. First I go into work (as a waitress at a local pub) and apparently I wasn't greeting the customers properly (golden rule from the pub: greet all customers). Thar bar manager kept busting me out in front of the owner about greeting everyone. Well after the third time of her ragging on me, I pulled her to the side and addressed the situation by informing her that just because she didn't hear me each time did not mean I wasn't greeting the costumers. That was when she told me to go home and she was transferring all my tables! What?! WTF?! Oh well... I have been working since I was fourteen and never once have I been sent home! So...I went and got my oil changed and hung out at the car dealership (my old place of employment)...
As for a working out update: Went to the gym last night to run off my frustrations of the day and saw my friend from DEP who has since been gone and returned from Boot Camp. Yeah! He is in the reserves so we exchanged numbers so we can work out together. Another yeah! He just called and we are meeting at the gym tonight to lift some weights! I'll let you know how it goes..
Back to the work thing for a minute: Got a call from one of the other servers last night and she wanted to know why I got fired! Fired?! WTF?! I didn't know...I am on night call tonight so I plan on finding out at 7pm if I got fired yesterday :)

sorry and a new hello

So, sorry if you are just reading this and do not know me... you may notice that my most recent postings are almost a year ago! So much has happened since then... My blog idea has changed. I am now doing this so that I can let my friends and fam and anyone ele in the DEP program what is going on with my life in the DEP program of the USMC.
For me and those that know me will contest that I am not an open person. I don't freely express my feelings out loud to my family and friends so maybe this will help us all to fully appreciate what I am going through...
For those who don't know I am currently in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) of the Unicted States Marine Corps. That means I am delayed to enter recruit training until July of 2009.
This blog will be filled with my musings on training and my obscenely crazy life until I leave.
I hope to update this as regularly as possible, but I refuse to pay for internet at my house ($60 a month Charter are you crazy?) so I go to a local coffee shop (shout out to Fourth Coast Cafe - Thanks!) to have use of their free internet and cheap and delicious coffee! So, updates may not be daily, but they will be weekly and pretty soon maybe daily (to be continued on that subject and no I am still not paying Charter for their internet usage)
talk to y'all soon!! and thanks for reading!
Emily
