Right on Target?

Ok quick catch up. I have a job @ Target (get it? lol) I turned 21 (DON'T ASK!) and I was one of fifty to get accepted into the Vet Tech program at Hickey College, that i don't want to go to right now.  Oh, also i think i found my soul mate?
I LOVE my job at Target, I have friends, the work is challenging and fun and I get paid to organize things! Only downside is that I have to get up at 5:18 five days a week (ugh I know!) but on the flip side, I'm done with an 8 hour shift by 2.
So on to the reason i decided to blog tonight. Mel is going to college SATURDAY! So this week has been like a cram session trying to spend as much time with her as possible. Last night we went to see Crazy Stupid Love. Which I liked. I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob (inside quote, I think from Veggie Tales lol) and then we decided to get dinner. Although in my defense I wanted to get dinner before the movie, but Mel said after. So then she asks "Where do you want to go?" And let's be honest, O'fallon, Wentzville, St. Charles area really, isn't full of night life. So i suggest Bob Evans. Hey it's food and they wouldn't close five minutes after we got there. So we get there around 9:30 and we are literally the ONLY customers.  The restaurant is DEAD! The waitress' and cooks are playing cards/ talking/ texting/ facebook-ing. So they didn't seem too thrilled to see us.  Our waitress was a blonde and one of those who I'm sure when she is off the clock uses an excess amount of the words 'like' 'no way' and 'and then i was like...' You get my drift? So she brought us our drinks and we are sitting there completely unsure of how to behave. So she takes our order and we are trying so hard to be easy for her so she won't kill us and/or spit in our food. I ordered a burger, with a salad and fries. Melissa ordered chicken tenders, with a salad and hash browns. Simple right? Yeah, she literally messed up all three of my foods! When she dropped off our food she took my salad bowl and asked if I wanted my fork. In my mind  I was thinking 'no lady normally you eat a burger and fries with you fingers!' so I said no thanks. She looked down at my plate where she had mistakenly put Mel's hash browns ( called home fries there but whatever!) and said "Don't you want them for your home fries?" Ok first of all, number one rule in service, never question the guest or claim they are wrong (unless absolutely necessary). But if she wanted to be idiot, who was I to stop her? So I looked at her and said "Those are her's" . She DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE for mixing the food up. And because Mel is a bleeding heart and I wasn't in the mood to complain, the waitress ended up with a seven dollar tip,( I am SO kicking myself for that right now lol)
As far as the soul mate goes.... I almost don't want to say anything so I don't risk the chance of  ruining it. But I will inform you.... Its complicated LOL
Hope your life is going the way you wanted it.... or at least not sucking!
CIAO!
