Update after this long?! No ways!

[imood mood at time of entry: apathetic]

So, I’m still here and truckin’ along in a very roundabout way. I’ve gotten down to a minimum on absolutely everything, as I’ve taken a Blah turn in the past few days or so.

I completed my 50 drabbles challenge right on time and went straight into Nano. I wrote something like 10,000 words collectively. Considering the ease with which I will become lazy or uninspired or busy, that’s a freakin’ miracle. No, seriously.

I’ve been sort of doing the InsaneJournal thing, because LiveJournal finds different ways to blow every single time the site is updated. They certainly should be given points for originality. In their lastest kick, SixApart both sold its semi-recently acquired LiveJournal to a new Russian owner and placed flags on everything, so that people could report one another for porn and what have you.

This, of course, pissed everyone off to high hell, but no one should be surprised at this point. This is just how 6A rolls. Where would they be if they weren’t treating their customers like crap or tracking their every movement online? They’d be left twiddling their thumbs with nothing better to do.

They did score a few cautious points with pretty much everyone on the fact that they brought Brad, the original site creator, back as some sort of advisory board member. It’s awesome that he’s back, but an advisory board won’t mean diddly when it come down to it. 6A always makes these lofty posts about listening to the community and taking care of its users. That’s a load of crap, because they’re more concerned with turning a once florishing site into the online equivalent of a police state.

You can’t feel comfortable just posting something not G-rated, because 6A will swoop in and delete your journal without notice. As much as I’ve complained in the news posts and expounded on the evils of 6A, I’m actually surprised to see that I still have my account. Apparently, I haven’t gone big enough, because loads of other people who spoke out against 6A were quickly taken off the site. I found it all rather suspicious, but then I guess that I was supposed to.

I go back to work tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. I never am, but moreso now.

You see, last night I went to work and it was double inspection day. Our Director of Operations was there along with the auditor. There were two hosts on, myself and Johnny. Well, Johnny is this kid that doesn’t know when to stop playing and grow the fuck up already. He snatches things out of people hands and runs around playing karate.

Now, when he’s with Rocky, he’s fine, because they can keep one another entertained. When he’s not, he’s a pain to be around. Last night, he decided to take it upon himself to go through my wallet, take out my ID, take a picture of it with his phone, and send it off to people while Lynn and I worked with our pins.

Naturally, I was pissed, because he both took two pictures and didn’t give my ID back when I told him to. I told him not to speak to me again, which sucks because I’ve still got to work with this bastard.

This is just on the heels of when everyone among the hosts/hostesses were talking to one another and not waging vendettas against one another. We weren’t perfect, but this was the closest we’ve been to it in a very long time.

This is also on the heels of hiring the new guy, Matt. You see, I like Matt. I like talking to him and I want to work with him as often as possible. Now that I am not talking to Johnny, who is Rocky’s best friend, who is one of J.J.’s best friends, this means CRAP for Danielle. That, would be me.

It’s crap for me, because all Matt is going to hear now is how much of a bitch I am. This just might cancel out all of the fun Matt and I have had thus far and the fact that we share a mutual friend, Nicole. Nicole, of course, is helping me “stalk” Matt. Which is to say that we’ll have entertaining chats concerning him, because there really isn’t anything else to do. This’ll go on until Matt’s no longer the new guy and we have someone else to talk about. Very mature, I know, but it can get pretty boring at work sometimes.

Guh.

So now I’m going to have to ignore the whole lot of them until I stop wanting to slap Johnny on sight. And god, I just love it when office/restaurant politics are stirred up.

So now I guess I don’t have to wonder if Matt and I are playing an on-going round of “Does He Like Me?” Dang. There goes my something-to-do when it gets slow. I will have to resort to doodling more, I guess.

The lobby’s going to close soon, so I’m going to head off now.
