say hello to my little corner of hell!


hello, cell phones.

maybe i should have said something earlier, because as soon as i told you how much i hated my job, how anxious it makes me, and how "gee, moving can be hard for months," i started feeling better.

don't take this to mean i'm going to make a career out of this crappy job, but i don't know. i just feel like maybe this is indeed something i can muddle through without resorting to burning anything down or telling someone to shove their cell phone up their ass.

here is a list i made yesterday at work, which is sort of funny and sort of pathetic. oh wait, pathos can totally be funny, so make that a funny list!

things i saw today 2/3/06:
  1. a girl with bleach blonde hair--dark like mine originally, now fried to the consistency of stale cotton candy. piled high in a puff on the top of her head.
  2. weird as fuck music today: jason mraz to hall & oates, then rod stewart and then roxette. am i having a stroke and this is all a dream?
  3. an older lady with a pink leather biker jacket on. i don't know if that makes me cheerful or annoyed.
  4. dear white women over the age of 40, fringed leather jackets are not for you. neither are puffy boots.
  5. a gaggle of young men smoking cigars and trying to look cool. they looked like chumps.
  6. jeans tucked into boots, even on a hot 16 year old girl, in never a good look.
  7. meth-heads love me. one lady told me about her MRI, which they gave her drugs for but she gave them to her boyfriend (!) and so freaked out in the tube. then she told me he was cheating on her, and how she was forty and had only hade five partners in her life and suddenly she was veryclose to me and i knew way too much. she had the look of a woman who'd used a lot of meth; pocked skin, sunken cheeks, stringy hair and the teeth. you know meth teeth when you see them. it was very sad. i gave her a soda.
  8. they could play the eurythmics every day and i would be okay with that. it's the only song on the stupid store cd that i can hear over and over again that doesn't make me sick.
