The Life and Times of Another Loser...

Hmm.. My alarm went off at 430am this morning, like it always does, and I was up, and following my morning routine to the letter. There was *one* thing I did differently, and that's something I've been doing differently for about a week now: I cut up a Fuji apple, and put half of it in my lunch, to go with my cheese,bologna, and crackers, yogurt, and Diet V8 Splash. Then, I eat the other half with my bagels in the morning.

This adds about 3-4 minutes to my prep time in the morning, though. The end result, I have been running late to work by 1-3 minutes, and was almost late again today. I don't like that, since I've gotten used to getting there around five minutes early. It makes me feel good about myself.

Anyway, I got things going, and the morning routine went pretty well. I was actually done a little early, and sat down to scribble ideas down in a little composition book-like memo pad. Of course, I realized that, since I was trying to write things down, I couldn't think of anything. :)

	I wasn't disappointed, though. I had already added a page of ideas prior to that. I'm sure the powers that be would have wondered about the times I abruptly stopped counting a pan, stepped back, and pulled pen and pad from my pockets, wrote feverishly for about 30-60 seconds, and then went back to work. :)
	I'm mentally running over the things I need to work on next for the game, and, for some reason, early morning is AMAZING for my imagination. Perhaps it is the quiet. I don't know, but I like it. I've had some amazing ideas hit me first thing in the morning.

I set up UScan, and did the vending machines. The temperature outside this morning was about 38 degrees Fahrenheit. This is significant because I realized that it was warmer inside the machine than out. I was a sight, sticking my hand in one of the rows of Cokes, pulling it out, looking around, and trying again. :)

I cleaned out part of the filing cabinet this morning, and that was neat, since there was paperwork in there from 1998! Suffice to say, I did what I could, and then went to lunch. Afterward, I spent some time on UScan, and covered a lunch there, too. I did some bascart audits before I left. These things are basically an interview where the employee questions a customer about the checker they just used. The funniest thing to me is that the interviewer is supposed to re-ring the person's order! No, I didn't do that. I simply made some info up. :)

Upon leaving work, I decided that I had to have some candy, and grabbed some Reese's Pieces and M&Ms. I ate a lot of Reese's PIeces on the way home, though. I feel guilty nwo. Well, sorta. :) Seriously, though, I shouldn't have bought them when I was hungry. Otherwise, I'm happy with them. I *LOVE* M&Ms and Reese's Pieces.

I replied to my Comments, and browsed LJ for a while. I just finished my dinner: Campbells Chunky Steak 'n' Potato Soup, milk, and fat-free saltines. I learned something about the Steak 'n' Potato soup when I was halfway through it, though. It had mushrooms in it! I *hate* mushrooms. Well, I dunno if that's true, since I finished eating it anyway. It struck me how silly it would be to quit eating my dinner over a mushroom, when I was over halfway done. So I ate.

While my dinner was cooking, I took the opportunity to rectify my problem from this morning, and prepped my lunch now. That way, I won'd be running late tomorrow. Yay!

Now, I am getting ready to read over some details I did for my campaign, and then go to bed. I've been tired, and had a headache all day, though it's gone right now. :)

(As for my musical selection: It's soothing, and puts me in my happy place, such as it is.)
