so i ended up going to LA with chang and B this morning. i knew i had work today and tomorrow so it was a pretty tough decision. i've already gone to LA a few times this year, but i didn't want to regret not going again with chang. i just decided to call in sick, asking them to put me on fri. and sat. instead. however, as we were driving down, around 2:00, i called the store...

me: hello? may i speak to annette?
monina: she's not here.
me: oh monina. it's me, phil. the guy who started working yesterday.
monina: ah yes. hello.
me: hi. well, you know how i was scheduled to come in today and tomorrow? well, i don't think i can come in b/c something important came up. if you can schedule me for fri. and sat., that wouldn't be a problem though.
monina: oh, i see. well, if you can't come in today or tomorrow, don't bother coming in ever again. you can just pick up your pay for yesterday's work.
me: what? but this was an emergency! i couldn't get out of it. don't you think you can just give me one more chance?
monina: i'm sorry. we don't tolerate this kind of behavior...calling in sick on your second day of work.
me: ok. bye.

i have to admit, i DID make a pretty stupid decision. i just didn't think they were going to be THAT strict b/c it was just a stupid cookie store. i feel like i wasted a whole buncha time and energy, filling out all the forms, memorizing the prices and menu, and remembering the different policies of the store. ugh, i was soooooo pissed after i hung up the phone, but i feel much better now that i am in LA. i learned that the true secret of contentment comes from eating pat-bing-soo. haha. i know that B can testify to that too! he had a boba-bing-soo. anyways, i'm having a great time down in so. cal right now. i'm currently at a nice pc bang after eating too much korean food. i'll have to worry about the job thing later. but it's ok, i am satisfied in God. He will provide.

so the stupid Lakers finally won the whole series. i have to admit, those bastards are a really good team! i saw some hardcore LA fans honking their cars in the streets with their stupid Lakers' flags on their cars tonight. gosh, that's something you'll never see Warriors' fans do. haha. but yeah, we'll see some great stuff from the Kings next year.

Thought of the Day: "hey look! the wrath of God!" lol.
Song of the Day: Jinusean-Throw Them Hands Up (remixed by Chang Mo...ahahahahahahaah).
