I think it's funny how no one knows...
Apr. 24th, 2004 07:53 amone step away from down
I'm not sure whether someone just didn't pay the phone bill or whether the squirrels did their seasonal chewing through of the phone line, but we have no computer line. Hence me not sleeping during the darker part of the morning even though I got off at 6am. Woe.
But I stole the regular line with the freakishly long cord, so I'm here for a smidge. Then I sleep and dream of buying one of those window unit AC thingers like the office [the room I'm currently in] has. Because, damn it, I refuse to spend a gazillion bucks to get the upstairs AC fixed only to still fry to death, dammit. Sure, getting a window unit will probably cramp my rampant spending fantasies and force me to redo my room, but to sleep while it's chilly? So worth it.
Work provided two stand out moments that I have to share for their insanity, so hush and skip or read and laugh. Either or.
The First: While still at the front register, this woman who is probably a few years older than I am was in line. I noticed that something was smoking and I thought she was... no. She had a stick of incense tucked over her right ear. Bizarre. But that's not the best part. No. The people ahead of her in line were giving her weird looks, as was the guy behind her. When she left he gave me that "Can you believe that?!" look and then explained what was so surprising. He wasn't shocked at the incense. No, it was the fact that IncenseGirl bought condoms...
The second: While getting some water on my break, I walked into the bathroom hallway where this woman was pushing a cart into the bathroom, or trying to anyway. When I looked closer I saw she had a smallish dog in the cart and she was using the cart to prop the door open so she could keep an eye on the pooch and wash her hands. Why? Because she'd just fed the dog some catfood. ...o_O
Tada. Not that bad, was it? So. Exhausted. Working again tonight at midnight until 8am [whimper] but then off for two days. This will hopefully keep me going til 8am Sunday morning.
*hugs and adoration for those who need it, whether they want it or not* And offers of kicks to the shins for those that want.
i feel stupid, but it's something that comes and goes
