T.O.T.M. Club
Yesterday I called in sick to work, not because I was sick in the sense of being ill, but just sick of coming into a temp job in which I don’t really do anything (the other day I went to the bookstore on my lunch break just so I could get something to read, as to not fall asleep at my desk: Palahniuk’s “Diary.”)…and I had quite a few errands I’ve been putting off, so I spent a nice, relaxing day doing…not a whole lot.
I come back into work this morning, and the president of my temp agency comes into the door asking where I was. I told her that she was, indeed, speaking to me, and she then extends her hand for me to shake. Meg (we’re on a first name basis now) proceeds to inform me that I was selected as Temp Of The Month…she congratulates me, hands me a crisp clean 50 dollar gift certificate to Lettuce Entertain You, and a box of Duncan Donuts for our whole department. So there I was, not 5 seconds earlier minimizing my webpage so people walking by would not be aware that I wasn’t doing anything, my copy of “Diary” shoved in my top drawer, and I get an award for Temp Of The Month. Hysterical. As I was thanking her, she goes, “Has anyone ever told you you look like Jude Law? It’s uncanny. You should really milk it for all it’s worth,” Meg says.
“Believe me, I’m trying.”
So after that, I find out they’re finally hiring me on full time at the Y starting the 14th. Elated, I then go online to buy things at SuperHappyFun!, which is a great site that sells unreleased and other region DVDs for like 13 bucks, all region 0. I went ahead and bought the Star Wars Holiday Special, Larry Clark’s unreleased-in-the-US “Ken Park,” and “Salo: 120 Days of Sodom.”
Things are therefore pretty good...going on a 2nd date with the "Closer" guy tonight (I figure, if we don't go to anymore movies, I'll give him a 2nd chance) to Bin 36. No concrete plans for the weekend, so I fully intend to catch up on movies and perhaps even a drunken escapade or two.
