Ahh, How'd I would love to catch some of those Z's!
To me, every day something out of the ordinary seems to happen and so those kinds of things are more ordinary for me. Take Friday, for example. It was a normal day to me, even though I had school, I was going to have to leave early which has been happening for the last few weeks once or twice a week, so I'm used to it, and I had to go downtown and do stuff, and then I came home, saw my friend Sue, and she stayed at our house by herself why everyone had to go places, I had to go to work.
I clocked in and a little while later my manager talked to me, he said that our store had to shut down, that Friday was our last niight and it would closed, forever. So there went a few hours of saying goodbye, since we didn't have many customers and did't have much to do, we didn't need to bother with cleaning or anything and so I silently said goodbye to my first "real job" and thought about the memories, such as the good and bad ones, the Christmas party, first company party I ever had gotten to be in, since it was my first job, how last Halloween I was a witch and we were allowed to wear our costumes to work, and I was sweeping and pretending I was flyying off on my broom, our regular customers I thought about, how they would come by to eat one day and get the shock of finding it closed down, and just the feeling of taking work for granted, that all of us there would have it to go to everyday, to be doing something and earning money, and how I'm going to miss the people I've gotten comfortable with seeing a lot of days for about the last two years.
I told them all my goodbyes and I had to leave, and I also had to get my last employee meal, whick I didn't bother purging, yet didn't eat but a bite of, Sue was walking me home and she was feeding me it while I carried the first aid kit from our break room that I was allowed to keep home, she fed me a couple of bites out of it then kept eating it herself, too, it was a chicken broiler sandwich like I had the first day I worked there, another memory.
I was sad but since at least I think on the pratical side I figured out that I did need the money, so I will probably be working at a wendy's that is close to the burger king, and I'll find that out mon, I'll most likely will and start on this tuesday. it has happened so fast that I really haven't had much time to absorb it. I walked into work and I lost my job, we all did. we didn't quit, we weren't fired, in a way we got layed off.
Sue and I went to a lock in that night and we stayed up all night and we had fun, then took a cab to our school and while waiting to be picked up from it, we actually fell asleep on the ground in the parking lot, my older sister picked us up and had to wake us up first. We went to the cemetary where we put flowers in my Grandma's sisters' grave and my Grandpa's, Jackie my Grandma's sister died of a heart attack two years go on Oct. 14, and my Grandpa was Grandma's husband, he also died of a heart attack but in 1984 and my Grandma whom I love very much, she drinks a lot and she blames it on his death, she misses him that much.
Oh, Friday for ROTC, we wore our uniforms to school, we normally do on Thursdays, but we switched p.t. and uniform day to help celebrate the Navy's 225th birthday, so for class we had streamers, balloons, cake, coke, and I called that my lunch, skipped lunch the next period, or bell, and purged what I ate of the cake instead. I wish I would have not eaten any of it, anyway. But we had fun.
I'm going to go help Sue with our baby we're watching, she's an adorable 14 month. baby girl, and I'm missing out on doing what I love to, so take care! Kip, and Pauleete, write me when you can, please, and tell me how you are!
Sue, the baby and I just went outside to ask this policewoman if we could help with anything, we noticed her going by our houses slowly and she asked us if we heard a dog barking and about the address, it's hard to tell though because it is dark out, midnight here and well, she was very nice but left, figuring that the dog was put inside.
Take Care! Love, Mary
Paul, ride 'em, cowboy/girl!

    Oh, that is SO uncool to lose your job that way. That wasn't fair of them not to let ya'll know ahead of time. I'm sure Wendy's will treat you better.

    I'll talk to you soon.

    Love,
    paul
