8 1/2 x 11 Please

Remember a while ago when school paper at STAPLES was 7 cents a pack? Well, my mom stocked up our living room with piles and piles of school paper for us. Ive been using that paper since my FIRST day of college at SMC with NO problem what so ever.

TODAY when I went to class, my professor gives me back a couple assignments that she graded. At the bottom of ALL the assignments it said "Use 8 1/2 x 11 Please!" I looked at my paper again, and I though "Huh? What's wrong with the size of my paper?!" I looked at everyone's paper and it looked the same size as mine.

When I got home I look at the package and its freakin 10 1/2 x 8! SHE MADE A DEAL ABOUT AN INCH difference! WTH. So, I looked through the piles and piles of school paper that we have and I found the size that she wants. Really?! No, other professor questioned my size of paper before. EVER.

Anyway . . .

While I was driving back from school, the car in front of me stopped cause it was a red light and the old lady puts her emergency lights on and she gets out the car. Then she walks to the bus stop and she just sits there. THEN the light turned GREEN and I'm behind her her and I cant move because there's cars next to me AND behind me! All I thought was "OMG this lady is crazy! She left her car in the middle of the street!" At first I thought "Oh, maybe her car broke down" But it didn't! She turned off the car! So, after a couple green lights, the car behind me backed up and we ALL finally got to leave!

THEN when I was on fairfax this car was next to me and his tire poped and it scared the crap out of me! I thought someone was going to bust a biggie smalls and shoot someone! It sounded like a gun fire. Stupid car scared me!

This past Saturday I worked with Sergio at the D23 event at the Anaheim Convention Center. We worked the night shift and it was soooo cool! When we got there, we had to switch crews. I was the night lead so once I got there I met up with the morning lead and he had to explain everything to me in MINUTES because the van was waiting for him outside to take him back to El Cap. I swear he was speaking 900 words a minute! After he explained everything to me I was so lost lol I didn't know what to do lol So I went inside the auditorium and I told Sergio that I didn't know what I was supposed to do! He just told me to walk around, make sure everyone's where they're supposed to be. So, I did that. When we arrived they were having a panel discussion for princess and the frog. After that was over we had almost 2 hours to kill until the next event started. So Michael, the night manager tells me to gather everyone around inside the auditorium. So I did. Then he tells us that he talked to the catering company and they said it was ok for us to have dinner with the rest of the crew.

Then Michael told us to not eat like we've never eaten before lol So we all walk over to the breakroom and ALL the tech/lighting/stage people are there! So, we walk over to where the food is and its like a buffet style. Me and Sergio grabbed a plate and they had salad, mashed potatoes (with corn already IN it! It was so good!), steak, vegetables, and bread. After we had our food we had to sit with the tech/lighting/stage people because there were no empty tables. So, me, Sergio, Diana, Antoine, and Michael sit with these two tech/lighting/stage people. While we were eating Michael asked one of the tech/lighting/stage guys what they did. The guy said "Oh, I do the lighting here, and set up the stage" I was listening but at the same time I was talking to Sergio. I was multi tasking lol Then the guy said that he also sets up the stage for ATREYU. Atreyu is this metal band. When he said that I looked over at him, and he was just talking about the places that he has to go to with the band and blah blah blah.

Then I went back to talking to Sergio cause he wanted me to taste his long white bread stick! hahaha After dinner me and Sergio went outside the breakroom and right when we left the breakroom Star called him. So he was on the phone, and I told Sergio that I was going to go to the restroom. So, as I'm walking to the restroom I came across the guy that was sitting with us at the table (the one that works with the band). I saw him, but thats it. I wasnt planning on talking to him. To my surprise, he saw me and he walks over and he said "Hey! You guys got a free dinner huh?" I said "Uh . . Yeah! Our boss talked to someone and they let us eat with you guys" Then, I dont remember what we said, but I said "Ok, I'll see you later" Then he walked away and I just stood there. I FORGOT WHERE I WAS GOING! Then I looked at Sergio (He was still on the phone) and then I remembered that I was going to the restroom.

THEN once the second event started, I was inside the auditorium and I see the SAME guy walking towards me! I got a little nervous, I'm not going to lie! He said "Hey!" I said "Hello" Then he said "Guess what?" I said "What?" He said "You see those lights up there, I put those up there" I said "Really? Thats cool!" Then he said "You know, I do all those red carpet premieres at El Cap" I said "Oh Really? I think I've seen you there, but I'm not sure" Then he said "Yeah . . . What time are you guys out of here?" I said "The van picks us up at 10:30pm" Then he said "Oh, usually I would be gone by this time but they want be to stay until 11pm" I said "Oh, that's not that bad. It's just an hour away" THEN Antoine comes up to me and he says "Karla, there's this person in a wheelchair and theyre in the aisle. Should I move the chair so they can move over?" I said "Yes" Then the guy said "Oh, it seems like your busy ... Im going to go" I said "Yeah, Ok" OMG I WASN'T BUSY! lol Then I told Sergio what happened and Antoine was there too and Sergio called Antoine a cock blocker LMAO that was priceless! hahaha

Antoine is so ghetto lol He's so funny though. Overall, I really enjoyed that night! It was fun. I wish work was like that everyday =)

SO, the VMA's were last night. I watched Errrthang! Kanye is __________! You already know! Russell Brand is too funny. He made me laugh.
