My goodness!
Yesterday, my mom wanted to get some sort of a treat and we heard about this new Yogurt place that opened up here in town called YoYo's Yogurt (owned by a Korean aquaintance) and we went.
Luckily, there were only about 10 people ahead of us, but guess how long it took us to self serve our own yogurt and toppings and get to the front to weigh in. 49 cents an ounce by the way.
20 FRIKEN MINUTES!
OMG!
Why are Texans so slow? They're like having conversations in line and going like "oh lookie they have a cheesecake yogurt, oh look let's eat this" and like watching the news on the big screens and saying things like "I like that celebrity look look!"
and to make it worse, they were soooo indecisive for their toppings.
I just want to get in and out of the line b/c we know that yogurt melts and mushy yogurt tastes like poo out of a baby's diaper.
However, these people were like "is this all you have?" and like "when did you slice this fruit? is it fresh?" and asking stupid questions like "what's coconut jelly?, what's boba? what's lichee?" I guess I can't hate them for not knowing much about the Asian pop culture food.
These people were seriously taking WAY too much time to just get yogurt.
But the thing is, everyone behind us (a crowd came later) were the same. They didn't care that the line was slow (although ridiculously slow) and were just soaking up the atmosphere (which I can't deny was very well decorated.).
In the end, I paid about $7 for the both of us and we enjoyed our mushy yogurt.

Just Another Day
Okay, so I turn 22 today.
big woop.
Today is just like any day, but I wish it was a more special day.
I don't like telling people this, but whenever I had to work on holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years, New Years Day, Easter, and of course, today, my birthday (although it really isn't a general holiday), it feels like my heart is bleeding.
Then I get emotional.
then emotionally hard.
When people came in and were like "Merry Christmas" or "Happy New Year" or "Wow you have to work today, that sucks", I just wanted to say STFU BTCH!
Sad
I wish I could sit in the rain under an umbrella right now and think quietly to myself.

Here's the deal
Description of a business for sale:
1.) Been on the market for over two years.
2.) Owned by a Korean man.
3.) Property is dated.
4.) Price is non-negotiable.
5.) Must be purchased in “as is” condition.
6.) Owner refuses to see buyers who want a formal inspection of the property.
7.) Owner will not provide any paid or unpaid training in running the business.
One would think "what kind of a moron would buy this place?"
My father! that's who!
The Last Argument:
Me: dad, it's been on the market for two years. There's a reason why no one's bought it.
Father: it's because it's in such a rural area.
Me: and you want to go there because?
Father: it's cheap
Me: it's still overpriced for the area
Father: no it's cheap compared to California
Me: what about the inspection?
Father: no need. The owner told be the basics about the property. It's in pretty okay condition
except it's a little old.
Me: and the owner is American?
Father: Korean
Me: Dad. Don't trust Korean people! They're all liars!
Father: You never say that about Korean people! You're Korean! It's suspicious people like you that make it so that honest Korean people can't to business with one another! Besides, it's all finished and done with!
Me: What if something is wrong with the place?
Father: Nothing is wrong! You just worry about school.
Me: Fine you said it! I'm just going to worry about school and MY work. If something goes wrong, don't bother me.
Father: I won't call you for help even if I die!
Me: How long is he going to train you anyway.
Father: There's no training. The owner says that there's nothing to it. Besides, I had a Chevron before.
Me: almost 10 years ago.
Father: Same thing.
Aftermath
So my father decided to buy that gas station from the Korean man who refused to sell if my dad asked for an inspection at a full and non-negociable price without any training.
Father died of course, which is why I am in this hell hole in the outskits of civilization right now.
We had to paint dingy areas.
The roof leaks terribly. you could literally shower where the leak is when it gets really bad. When you go up on the roof, you can see that the previous owner used stuff that looked like different colored play dough to cover up all of the leaks.
The air conditioning had to be checked at least 7 times since last July.
Some of the tile is cracked.
A lot of the merchandise had to be thrown away because there were so many expired snacks and food.
We had to go through endless unorganized mounds of files to get all of our contacts for the business (such as who we called to order coca cola, pepsi, snacks, lay's chips, beer) and whenever we called the previous owner, he would give us an attitude that showed that he got rid of his burdensome business and wants nothing more to do with it. Whenever we ask for something or for some help, he just says "I don't know" son of a bitch. At least I know that he's not a Christian.
That's why I'm so angry. I can tell my mom is frustrated too because she was looking though the legal forms to see if there was anything we could do and they all say that father had signed the paper stating that he was going to buy the property and has on his own free will and decided to skip any inspections.
Stupid moron.
