First Day

So, it was my first day at work today.  I actually wasn't nervous, which was good.  Got aquainted with a several people that I'll be working with.  However, the today was the last day for the girl that trained me, I feel like I'm carrying on in her footsteps or something to that extent.  Learned a ton of stuff, hopefully it'll stick, because I don't want to have to keep asking them what to do over and over.  I worked just short of six hours, but it was a really busy day today, and I feel like I kept myself busy doing stuff for the most part so I wouldn't be standing around like a complete idiot.  All in all I thought it was a good day at work.

On the way home I got stuck behind a semi and me and the car in front of me were trying to merge into the left lane.  She started to move out and I saw a van speeding up to us in the lane we were trying to get into, so I looked at her through her side mirror and shook my head at her indicating, "no," and she shook her head saying, "yes."  The van shot by and she looked at me in the mirror and looked a little shocked.  As we got moving again I pulled up next to her and we shared a good laugh.

After that I got home and quickly rushed to my friends Stanley Kubrick movie class.  They were watching Full Metal Jacket this week, and he's never seen the second half.  I missed the first half, which was fine, I like the second half more.  The first half feels more like comedy, where the second half is much more serious and more deep.

/Begin rant mode/  But, I had a problem while I was parking on the campus to go to the class.  I was told to park at the apartment that my friend stays at on campus, and some lady comes out and starts shouting at me that I can't park there.  I've done it before and visitors are allowed to park there, I even had a paper saying which room I was visiting and who owned the room, but this ignorant bull headed woman wouldn't have any of it.  She was cussing me out, and I'm being really reasonable with her.  She kept going on about how she pays to park there and that the management just had a meeting about this exact situation.  I wasn't even in a numbered spot and there were probably 4 cars parked in this 60+ car parking lot.  I got so fed up with her being ignorant and unreasonable as I was getting in my car I pretty much told her to stuff it, which isn't normally like me.  I left because I was worried she was going to try to tow my car and ended up parking in a far away parking lot.  She told me I could do whatever I want and just leave the car parked there, what I want to do is pour cement in her gas tank.  /End rant mode/

I was having a really good day up until that point, but Full Metal Awesome made up for that.  I even got to run into someone I haven't seen since the beginning of the year after the movie was over.  We caught up pretty quickly since he was tired from his classes and wanted to get home.

Overall today was a great day and hopefully tomorrow will go just as well, minus ignorant parking lot lady.

I know I use the letter "I" a lot, always had that problem in school and was told not to over abuse certain words, "I" being one of them, so apologies for that.  I can't help it though...
