craziness!

it was a madhouse at work. my line-keeping skills were totally tested, and i kicked some list-making ass. i was taking names and handing out sodas and running phones back to the tech all at once and it was great. i am looking forward to being a salesrep, even though i also know they have to deal with idiots who get mad about big bills and people who lie to us all day about everything. ("they gave me a brand new phone the last time i came in with this issue!" um, sure. we just hand them out like candy.)

i also had a sandwich that was bigger than a baby. i only ate half, but then was so saturated with salty, beefy goodness* i was basically in a coma.

in short, as far as work was concerned, it was a good busy day. i like busy because one minute you're distracting a kid with a fake cell phone so they don't cry and ruin the feng shui of the place, and the next! you are going home. the last couple of days has also seen me doing lots of closing of cash drawers and learning things on the computer. it's a lot of new stuff, and the upside is that if i learn it now at work it won't be so bad when i go to the training. the downside is that i'm basically dreaming about work every single night. weird dreams where i get fired and then i wake up wondering if i actually did get fired and that means i get to stay home before waking all the way up and realizing that it was all dream. my co-workers show up in dreams that aren't about work all the time now too. i remember going through the same thing at finko's.

it's snowing! i think tonight i'm going to do some knitting, have some tea, and watch a movie. last night i watched the film about jacques derrida, called derrida, appropriately enough. it was pretty good. i'm pretty sure you have to at least know a little about deconstructionist philosophy to enjoy it, but even if you don't (or hate it) it's still interesting to watch a man who makes his living as a philosopher wander around and talk on film. can you imagine getting paid to do that? dude, it's as unreal as getting paid to blog.

one more small thing before i get going, i used to use last.fm when it was audioscrobbler, but i've updated my profile and stuff and added that cool button my sidebar. i like last.fm a lot, even if it does reveal me as a total dork. i think you should put it on your site too, because i am ridiculously nosy and this is just one more way for me to scratch that itch.

*corned beef and pastrami! sexiest of all cured, salted meats.
