Already tired

I've only been working one hour so far and I'm already seeing spots and feeling like a nap.

The basketball players just came walking in. They were being loud as usual as they walked past me and into the elevator. Seriously - what makes them SO weak as to not be able to walk up or down ONE flight of stairs? They sure seem healthy enough. Even I (who am not in the best of shape) go up and down those stairs. I feel silly when I use the elevator like this.

Uh... one of them just snuck out. Hehehe, made a showing and getting away. Funny. They seem to believe they own everything - a bit too arrogant for me. And one day, one of them kept saying "holla Back Girl" to me and of course, I ignored them as usual - hehe having been an RA, it gives you the right choices to make when you feel threatened or annoyed by people - you know how to react. Well, I finally looked up the meaning and here it is:

  • NOUN: A girl that is willing to be treated like a doormat or booty call. She is a girl that will allow guys to do whatever they want with her and will just wait for them to 'holla back' at them.
  • VERB: a member of a cheerleading squad who repeats – hollers back - words that the squad leader shouts out to them.
  • Gwen Stefani uses the term brilliantly in her song "Hollaback Girl", both as a simile and a metaphor. She’s letting the guys know that she ain’t a booty call and that she’s not gonna be sitting around waiting for them to “holla back”. She’s “been around the track a few times” so it’s not gonna happen again. She uses the cheerleading terminology as a metaphor, she’s a “squad” leader not a follower.
Well, I guess it was good that I am not one of those girls that constantly get called "shorty" by them. These girls walk by and start giggling as soon as one gets even a teensy bit of attention. Gah, I'd rather have my tongue pierced than spend one hour near them. There are a few exceptions, however, but few needs to be looked at in earnest.

Ah cripes, foot and leg just fell asleep on my left. /sigh
