worst monday ever | blah!

okay, first j.a.'s boss calls at like 5:30am, and i'm waiting to get up at 6:10. so, i'm like "can you answer and tell her to call your cell?". whatever.

and then chicago got hit with some sick fucking sleet. messy shit.

and today was the first day of my new shift. 7:30 to 3:30. sounds easy, right? well, it sucked. i never really woke up this morning. i just sort of floated through, and quite literally, "phoned it in".

har.

i'm such a tool at work. but i'm good at what i do, so they can't really let me go.

within the last year, i've been in and observed 2 or 3 seperate training classes, and each class trained and tested in 3 days.

i was a floor coach for quite a while last summer. a friend that i trained with also floor coached, and we used to have fun hanging out together.

then, like 9 months ago i met this hawaiian girl named kennly, and she trained, and suddenly got promoted to floor coach.

she's a total candy fiend. like, real candy. skittles, bubblegum, tic tacs, whatever. she wants candy. always.

and i've spent a lot of time building a larger, sillier toy collection. i moved away from mcfarlane's barely articulated scultures, and started buying stuff that was just fun.

like 3 of the new motu figures, a bunch of "m.u.s.c.l.e." and "ultimate muscle" toys, gundams with strange designs... japanese toy/candy models/figurines.

colorful shit.
