super thrifter!

i almost forgot all about my deep love of thrifting. i left early yesterday so i could meet up with a friend from work to hit a thrift store before work, and found such great stuff. a new sweater, a new skirt, a few scarves for work (we have to wear a tie or a lady scarf, and i found a bright orange one that is crazy and lovely), cute new shoes and two movies. thrifting is so different from regular shopping; even if you go in with a specific goal in mind, you are likely to find amazing things that weren't on your list. getting a good deal is also a thrill. the hunting aspect of it all is addictive.

two days of work this week, then three off, then one on. including yesterday that makes four days where i only work 6 and half hours. did i mention they are seriously cutting hours at work? while reducing costs and making money for shareholders they basically expect us to get as much done for less pay. um, i call bullshit. i could bust my ass a bit more, sure, but not for corporate whores i won't. if this were a mom-and-pop operation and we were all taking one for the team i would reconsider, but so far it's only non-management that's feeling the crunch. i hate to get all commie on you, but i'm kind of anti-"the man" right now. my paychecks are sad and i still pay the same in gas money every week and have a million bills to pay off.

money, money, money. sometimes i get so sick of it.

in better news, i am in love with my library again and reading all sort of great things. the last thing i read was "righteous" by lauren sandler. i'd tell you more about it, but i have to get ready to go to work. in short, it was a great read, albeit a bit freaky. if i've said it once i've said it a million times, evangelical christians scare the shit out of me. has anyone else read this book? were you a bit taken aback at the political agenda inherent in evangelicalism? it makes me shudder to think.
