Cast It's about time for me to make a new cast page. If you're starting at the beginning, then read this page fist. That's the cast page that applied up until August, 2002. It's also the page where I list all my family and my friends that live in California. I think there's probably going to be two basic categories this time. Friends and Work. Friends Mike ~ Mike is absolutely wonderful. He was mentioned in the last cast page, but he was all the way down in the "people I work with" category. I had just met him when I updated that one. Mike is my current boyfriend and I don't see that changing any time soon. There are many, many differences between this and my last relationship. He's actually going with me to my dad's for thanksgiving and my mother's (in Illinois) for the first of the year. Daniel ~ Linda's son, my ex-boyfriend. Him and I got really close fairly quickly, but it took us forever to get together. We were together for about 6 months, then we just sorta died. It wasn't a bad ending and I think I'm much better because of the experience. If nothing else, I have more self confidence (though that dipped there at the end) and I've learned to trust my intuition much more than I used to. I think there are too many people named Daniel because now I have to have some way of differentiating this one from the one at the beginning of the diary. Well, I would if I ever talked about the other Daniel anymore. Linda ~ The Sales Manager at Lowe's, and one of the first people I "connected" with there. Mother of Daniel, Grandmother of Lilly, and she comes to hang out with us when we can all coordinate schedules (which gets to be extremely hard sometimes). Yvette and Kathy ~ Store Manager at Lowe's. Well, Yvette is anyway. Kathy is her girlfriend/wife/roommate/etc depending on how the two of them are getting along. Or something. Yvette can take a while to get used to, but I like her. People I work with My Department Ronda ~ Department Manager. she has her good days and her bad days. Her good days are winning out here lately though. Paul ~ Tile guy and one of my favorites to work with. I adore working with Paul (dirty old man). Grace ~ First impressions aren't always right. Grace didn't make a good first impression on any of us. To her credit, she was quite sick... cold and all. Now, she's my other favorite person to work with. Juanita ~ I don't know what to say about her. Other than she doesn't think that I do anything. Everyone else Tony (Paint) ~ I absolutely adore Tony. He's just warped and comes up with the most random things at times. We get along well because he's sick ... and that's fun. Bobbi (Phones) ~ I adore Bobbi. Part of the reason is because she doesn't listen to what other people say about me. I've kinda kept to myself at work and apparently some people see that as being a bitch. Herb (Store Manager) ~ Herb's still new and none of us really know what to think of him. He seems friendly at times, but then he's also a little like Aaron was at first. He's much too "active." And, while it's good for a store manager to be active, I have a feeling Herb's gonna be too active for our small store. Aaron ~ Aaron can be a little hyper-active sometimes. He can also be a little quick to upset in my opinion. He used to be one of my least favorites, but now Herb and Stan take up that space. Aaron has gotten a lot better at being like-able. And I use that term loosely for now. Stan and Jeff ~ The other two ASM's in the store That's it for now. If I missed anyone, feel free to ask me who they are.
