Let's see. Where do I begin today? *thinks* Ah! How about at the beginning?
Shut up. I know that's "as usual." Live with it, alright?
Anyway, I begin with this morning. The alarm went off as usual. I got up, and began to get ready, as usual. Then, when I got out of the shower, I did something
unusual. I sat down in my chair, and began to read LiveJournal and my feeds. I felt bad for some reason, but nothing severe. Unfortunately, my mornings are a carefully constructed maze of showers, lunch preparation, breakfast, and morning computer time, usually in that order. So, when I finished reading, and felt better, I was running late.
Knowing that I wouldn't eat until I got home, though, and that food eaten at work upsets my stomach (eating while working in Accounting, at least); so, I had to eat breakfast. When I left, it was a quarter till five. By then, I'm supposed to be on the highway already. So, I sped. No problems, really. I got to work late, but clocked in at 5:06am, so I didn't lose any pay. Go me!
Work was... a chore today. You see, while the End of Week went okay, with only one rather significant hiccup**, everything else that I did this morning blew up in my face. I mean, I was screwing up like someone
trying to lose his job. Well, it might not have been that bad, but it felt like it to me. The most significant screw-up was my usual Sunday job: time and attendance. I managed to run so late that the Zone Manager called to find out where it was. The only good thing was that I was already finished at that point, and in the process of sending it out as I was talking to him. Whew.
In addition to that, we also are out of quarters, pennies, ones, and fives. I forgot to order money on Friday, and that's the cutoff for all weekend. Hopefully, they can get the order I did for Tuesday special delivered tomorrow. *crosses fingers*
( Work Drama... Don't step in it! )( Literary Geekishness )I came home, and cleaned my room. I'm now airing it out, and burning some candles, one of which is the Glade Rainshower scented candle. It smells... clean, I think is the best word. I've still got to update my checkbook, but that's not a big deal, and next on my list.
* - Line from Death Angel's "Seemingly Endless Time", off their Act III album, released in 1990.
** - The lottery tickets were missing two of the $2 tickets. They were the ones at the back of the dispenser, meaning that it was whoever loaded it. Only one person touched the tickets when they were opened, and it was someone completely unexpected.
*** - The man has since proven that he's no saint, but I still like his words.
**** - Our sales have declined sharply every year, until now, when we're only doing half of the business that we did two years ago. I blame Kroger, though, for opening stores around us that are only two lights away. That's right, no matter which direction you go, there's another Kroger only two lights away.
