Twilight of the Incredibly Sexy Men in Way too Hot Weather

So the contractors are still at my house. Pretty much 24/7. I wish I could say I've learned to ignore it, but it's more like I've learned to pick my battles. This is one I'm not going to win. So on Tuesday, Amanda and I went to see Eclipse. Now, I am not a Twilight fan. At all. In fact, everytime I see something new and completely unnecessary that is Twilight, I want to shoot Stephanie Meyer in the face. Like Twilight Sweet Tarts. Unacceptable. And if I have to hear about the Great Debate, Edward vs. Jacob one more time, I'm going to scream. I read the books, enjoyed them while I did, obsessed for about a week, then I was OVER. IT. Like a normal person should be. So needless to say, the only reason I saw Eclipse was for the bad acting. And it did not disappoint. I swear, everything Kristen Stewart said, she said it on the same pitch. I thought I was listening to a robot. And Edward's a tool. He's overly sappy, then way too controlling. And he glitters. No. The best part of the movie was the Harry Potter trailer. HOLY CRAP! I can't wait for that.

Work is going a lot better, too. I'll officially be allowed to be in the store alone on Saturday when I call Jason, the district manager, and I'm opening on Monday. I'm making on average $3.00 more an hour in commissions, and when it's just me in the store, it'll be even better. So I'm happy about that. We had a company meeting on Thursday with all of the sales associates and the managers in our district talking about new promotions and how we were doing sales-wise, and my store is doing really well. We're overall #1 in the district, which is really exciting. AND to make this meeting even better, there's maybe one unattractive man in the whole district. I thought it was maybe my CMU goggles, but I haven't been on campus in over two months. No, these guys are all SEXY. And I work with all of them. I love my job.

I love it even more because it's air conditioned. It's been hotter than Satan's asshole after eating a spicy burrito lately (Sorry for the disgusting analogy. It was the first thing I thought of...), and it's even worse because there's been no breeze since we're landlocked. The air is heavy and stagnant, and there have actually been air quality warnings when it was over 90. Sleeping is another issue. I have to take a cold shower, then use this mint cooling gel I got from the Body Shop that's meant for your feet all over my body because the menthol feels nice on my sizzling skin, wear nothing but underwear and a tank top, then sleep with the fan directly on me. Then in the morning, I wake up gross and sweaty and usually find a new pimple on either my chin or my cheek on the side of my face that was on my pillow. It's great. I thought I'd never say it, but I can't wait for fall and winter.
