Oh, the randomness of life

[sproutgirl]

We are not making the money we ought to be at the new job. It's actually doing worse than NYNY right now. Because no one bothered to tell us that this was the "soft" opening, and basically no one knows we exist. The Grand Opening is the 17th, and pray for me, people, that the tips shoot up. I know it may take a year to really get to where they should be, but I can't live on what they are now. And even though I have faith that they will climb, I am stressed.

I wrote 16 pages in like, 4 or 5 days. Wheeeee!

I'm a bit stuck now though. :(

Rayna, a friend from NYNY is at Palazzo with me now, though I thought she was gonna be working the Venetian. I was pleased to find I was wrong. Only to learn that she is mad at me and apparently no longer speaks to me. When I asked her, she said I had been competitive lately. WTF? My only thought is that I may have tried too hard to make conversation, cause all through training it felt like she was ignoring me. So I think she wanted to cut me anyway and this is her excuse. I apologised to her a week ago, telling her I certainly never meant to sound competitive, but she was ungracious about it and she won't even say hi to me now. I can only shrug and realise there's not much more I can do, but it still hurts. This is the girl that took me in when I left Gabriel and had no where to go . . .

I bought a new lipstick shade, just for the name. It's bronzier than I'd normally wear and less pink, but not bad. And I get a kick every time I think of the name.

I bought art from Marta! Exciting!

I've never seen more oddly shaped and/or large noses as I do amongst the swing shift dealers I now work with. Seriously.

I think that's pretty much it. Thanks for reading.

But you didn't tell us the NAME of the lipstick, silly girl!

Gee, didn't I? *hums innocently*

It has the nickname of my unrequited crush/love in its title

Rayna sounds a bit juvenile to me - how on earth can you guys be competitive? You're all doing the same job, no? I'm sorry she's frozen you out - her loss.

What's the name of the lipstick? tease :P

It all came to a head after I tessed her for being on the Big 6 Wheel on the 2nd or 3rd day we were open. She flat out refused to deal those stupid games at NYNY, so I know she hates em, so I just rolled my eyes, and said something like, "Oh, lucky you. I know how much you love the wheel." And she got kind of snappy and when I said, "You're pissy today," she said, "You've been on me all week," and I'm like, "What?" and that's when the competitive thing came about. *shrugs*

And she can be juvenile, and I know her well enough to know that it might have blown over a few days later, but that if it hasn't by now, I've lost her. And I'd love to say, "Well if she's gonna be that way, than good riddance," but I can't.

As for the lipstick . . . *blushes* Sweet Ginger

Awww, I'm sorry about your friend. It's hard when you try to make amends and that's rebuffed. I'm not sure what else you can do.

Nice lipstick name ;)

I assume you're working today, since it's just now 8 in the morning where you are.

I finished ch 12 and am about to start on 13, once I kick Fat Kitty off. I also wrote a tiny little piece of the near-to-end. It's been stcuk in my head, and I had to write it in order to get it out and move on.
