   A post for the sake of a post..
I'm still alive. Just so's you know.

1. Fire ban may have been lifted. Good news for my BBQ plans.

2. Ate a banana tart. Wanted to vomit. Am still not over the time I got drunk and ate half a banana that my sister had dropped on the floor.

3. Sita and I may go on a roadtrip. A lovely circle tour of the US if we can have it our way. "SitaCon: Coming to a city near you!" =P

4. Lack of postage is due to having nothing meaningful to say. Sorry.

"I remember when/
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind/
There was something so pleasant about that place/
Even your emotions had an echo in so much space..." -Gnarls Barkley (Crazy)

It's funny because it sounds like Charles Barkley. Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, the hilariosity...

There's these two little spiders at the base of the wall just outside my bathroom. There are no baseboards right now, so they have a nice little place to hide there. Since they're not very big I decided that as long as they stay out of my sight, they may live. They enjoy taunting me though, and poke their little spidery heads out. So, I kick the wall right above them and remind them of our deal, and they hide again..

Spent 4 hours putting up more of those stupid plastic shelf edgers. It's a lot easier to put them on our OLD shelves than it is to put them on the NEW shelves. It's weird.. The guys spent a lot of time ctting them to try to get them to fit, and using some double sided tape to make them stay up. I'm just going to laugh when they fall down and have to be redone. Not my damn fault.

Seems like Whatever flu-type bug I had earlier this week is making the rounds. Now one of my supervisors has got it. She came to work anyways. And she's breathing on us all. We're all going to get sick agian.. Bad. Anywho.. I'm sure there was more, since I haven't said anything in a few days, but.. I forget. As usual. So goodnight everybody. Happy weekend.

"New ink on the forearm/
Right down to the wrist/
X-Box for the road crew/
And a sattelite dish..." -Strippers Union Local 518 (Full Flow Angry Boy)

I've listened to that album pretty much every night before going to sleep. I really like it.

It rained for a good half hour. That was good. When I left work, it smelled like smoke. My guess is that the lightning started a lovely grassfire somewhere nearby. That was not so good. More rain please! I need the fire ban to go away...

I've just got crappy news that Matt, my favourite supervisor and really, one of my very favourite coworkers is leaving at the end of the summer. *sigh* The good ones always have to leave. I want to leave too.

My stomach has still been bothering me a little. It's kind of an ulcer-y pain, I think. I usually get it when I'm nervous, worried, or very sad.. It'll go away. It always does. Night night kids. *grin*

"Hey, are you asleep now/
I thought I heard you talking/
Cause they're draining out my heart/
And I think I know what's coming/
They can't leave this alone..." -David Usher (In This Light)

So, I finally got smart and decided to try typing my post out in Word and then copy/pasting it in. After being booted offline three times while trying to submit a comment to Oreana’s journal, enough is enough..

So, the reason my hands were/are mangled is because new boss ordered these plastic dealies for the edges of all the shelves in the store. 1200 of them. And when I got to work the other day, supervisor Matt said I could help him put them up. It really wasn’t working very well, and every time I’d get the thing in there all the way, it’d just pop right back out. So after two hours we had maybe 6 four foot sections done. My fingers were getting blister-y and I got a couple of nice plastic cuts. Y’know, like paper cuts but by plastic? Yeeaahhh.. So apparently new boss wants all 1200 of them up by the time he gets back form hols in two weeks. Good luck. I’m done with them. So my fingers were all covered in glow-in-the-dark Spongebob bandaids, which actually looked really cool in the dark.

Very hard to type with people reading over your shoulder.

Anyways. Sunday I took a sick day. Got to work and lasted about an hour before I had to have them find someone to take over for me. I don’t think they actually did. I just stayed in my bed the rest of the day. Bleh. Feeling better now, but still not 100%.

And I get to work with annoying girl tomorrow. So I have THAT to look forward to.. (note sarcasm)Maybe I’ll be able to just leave her up front by herself and she’ll actually DO some work. If you let her leave her till, she’ll do absolutely jack. For hours. It’s a miracle she’s still employed.

So that’s it. Possible LJ post, but maybe not. I don’t know if I’ve got the energy. Goodnight everyone, hope you had a good weekend.

   Oh, for fuck's sake.
I just lost my entire three paragraph long post. I'm not typing it again. The main theme of it was that my hands are mangled and that I want to cancel my staff BBQ.. The end. Goodnight.

"Big wheels keep on turning/
Carry me home to see my kin/
Singing songs about the Southland/
I miss Alabamy once again/
And I think its a sin, yes..." -Lynard Skynyrd (Sweet Home Alabama)

Thanks, guys for the comments yesterday. I didn't visit many sites as I was having router difficulties and kept getting booted every five minutes. It's been better today though. A little.

Newsflash. I've just lost the dvd-rom. *facepalm* Odds are good I'll be getting a new computer sometime within the next month or two..

Anywho.. I'm feeling better about certain things after talking with a few people. I'm so very glad to have such awesome and trustworthy people to share things with. I never mean to worry anyone whn I post some crap like that. Sorry for bringing the party down.. XD

Loves, hugs and cupcakes to Sita, Zappa, Aya, Mamma Vash, Oreana and ThiefKingBakura. You guys always have something helpful and kind to say, even when I'm just being a big baby about things. So thank you. *drowns in sap*

It's late. There was more, but I've forgotten. as usual. So, goodnight for now.. and here's hoping for no router trouble tomorrow so that I can comment..

   "I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely/
She says my destiny is turning out all wrong/
So now I just sit here/
And think of meaningful things to say/
Symbolistic white walls..." -Matthew Good (Symbolistic White Walls)

I'm... pretty blank right now.

Drank a bunch earlier this evening. Not enough to even make me dizzy, but I think it was enough to make me forget most of what happened today. Not to mention yesterday. I typed something for yesterday, but the computer crashed and I screamed at it and just decided, "ahhh screw it" (but with the 'F' word). Don't remember what any of it was about now.

So I won't bother.

Picked up a new album. Strippers Union Local 518. It's got one of the guys from The Tragically Hip. Good stuff. Too bad I can't find any of their lyrics online. I'm going to have to type as I listen.

Lame.

I remember my reason for drinking. Won't discuss in a public journal though. Sorry to be a tease. Goodnight.

   "Look around/
Show me holy places not yet found/
Lets disappear and we'll hide underground/
Well get high and we'll feel safe and sound/
It comes around..." -The Black Crowes (Soul Singin')

I slept pretty late on Friday morning... err.. afternoon.. So it was about 1:00pm when my optician called and said that they had something for me. *nervy spaz* So I went down there and picked up my glasses! Yay! Aaaand since I'm just too lazy to make you search for a hidden link, here you go.


  



There's what we've been waiting for. Click to see me bigger. Although I warn you, it could be pretty scary.. Don't mind the expression either. I don't really care to have my picture taken, so I deliberately make a stupid, deer-caught-in-the-headlights face. Umm.. it also might be a side effect of the strength of the prescription. I was feeling loopy all afternoon, kinda drunk-like.. But I'll get used to it. *grin*

Anyways. I saw a commercial the other day that says that PRISON BREAK is coming back on AUGUST 21ST!! Season 2, I can't wait. I'll have to pull out another Prison Break icon, I think.. XD

Damn, I always manage to forget what I was going to say. Zanorich, help me out here.. What was it that we were talking about? *blank stare* I just don't know. So I'm just going to go to sleep. Goodnight everybody. Hope my picture dosen't give you nightmares. Mwahahahaha!

   "I'm the self-inflicted/
Punk detonator/
Yeah, I'm the one invented/
Twisted animator/
I'm a firestarter/
Twisted firestarter..." -Prodigy (Firestarter)

Surprise, Con. No company after all. After going to bed at 2:30am and then getting up at 8:00am I'm kinda tired. I got up at 8 to do all the cleaning up of the house so that everything would be nice for the cousins when they got here. I had to go to work in the evening so I had to start early. Had some tunes on, did a couple of loads of laundry, linens mostly. Sorted all the crap and unopened mail that was piling up on my desk. I'm bad for letting things pile up until the last minute. Just like in the song. "I'm addicted to stress, that's the way that I get things done..." So yeah. In the end, I don't have to give up my space. *relieved* It would have been nice to see my cousin though.

So... When I got to work, there were an unusual number of screaming kids around. I can't deal with that. I start to twitch. My supervisor, Matt knows this and says that I'm welcome to get away from the front of the store and help him pull some expired crap. *grin* Turns out we're pulling "expired" Christie product. Y'know, cookies and stuff. Two full cartloads later... Heheh.. We cut all the barcodes off to send them in for credit, but then they don't care what we do with the product. So I got to try some fudge covered oreos, and some peanut butter/chocolate oreos. Yum. And free too. Double yum. I also got a tip because I'm talented enough to write on a cake. Yeah, $3. I was amazed at how well it actually turned out. Now that I think about it, I actually left it sitting on the till.. *sad face* I doubt it'll still be there in the morning.

New glasses today! Maybe.. My optician shops in my store on occasion, so when I saw him today, I asked him, "Is it time yet?!" He goes, "*excited gasp* No, but maybe tomorrow." Funny guy. *whines* I wanna be able to see nowww.... if I go to sleep it'll seem that much sooner. Goodnight everybody. *doles out fudge covered oreos*

   "When my fist clenches, crack it open/
Before I use it and lose my cool/
When I smile, tell me some bad news/
Before I laugh and act like a fool..." -The Who (Behind Blue Eyes)

So, I hear that when my Dad gets back from BC, he's bringing my cousin and her boyfriend back with him to stay with us for a couple of days. I don't actually know how long. This is a bit of a problem for me. Our house dosen't exactly have a "guest room" so whenever we have overnight company (which isn't all that often) either my sister or I have to give up our space. I don't mind it if it's just a day or two and I don't have to work. But I have a lot of days in a row coming up and they're early ones too.. And I don't know how long they're planning on staying. I guess I'd better make sure we have plenty of coffee.. I'm expecting a lack of sleep. *sigh*

But my glasses are almost ready. I'm excited for that. And that's about it. I'm kind of tired. It's nearly 1:30 in the a.m. I don't know what I'm doing still sitting here. Well, babbling incoherently, obviously.. But other than that.. nothing. So I'm going to go to sleep. Unless I start thinking about perfectly spherical objects or clones again. Ahhh crap... black construction paper, black construction paper, black construction paper....
