(no subject)
This post isn't going to be too long because I'm tipsy and tired, but:
One of the supervisors (Mary Ann) followed for me for literally the worst part of my day (my Adderall had worn off and I wasn't going to take another with her watching).
Despite that, I finished 12 loops of my route in the same amount of time it took me yesterday, even though the mail was heavier. (Today we had one item that went to every mail address and the usual Tuesday junk mail that's a total pain in the ass.)
I found out that Charlene is also a Whovian (thought not as...obsessive? of one as me) and that she's only been a CCA a bit longer than me (she just finished her 90 days), and being able to tell someone "this is the shit I keep screwing up, and I feel like I'll never improve" and hearing someone say, "Oh, I did that, and it gets better, I promise" was a HUGE comfort and encouragement. I don't know if she'll ever realize how much talking to her meant to me.
Yesterday I did loops 1 through 12 of a 25-loop route. Today I was supposed to do all of them (AHAHAHAHA) but I did 1-12 and then Charlene took a bunch and then I caught up with her and did 23-25. I damn near ran the last three loops because I was so desperate to go to Who trivia tonight. AND. I MADE IT. Fuck yes. I was dehydrated when I got back to the office though. I need to carry two quarts of water, not just the one, eeeek. Especially when it's 80-something out. JFC, I am dreading the 90+ days we get. I'm remembering the year we had a two-week streak of 100+ weather and trying not to freak out.
But yeah: I got back to the office, ran around doing my office stuff, and then biked home like a bunny out of a bazooka. Then it was, throw my clothes off, wipe down with a washcloth, throw on different clothes, and run outside for my ride to Who trivia.
Oh man. So glad I went. I missed my geeky friends like crazy. ALSO. I now have a necklace made by my friend Amanda:
AWWW YISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Best necklace ever Y/Y
(Yes that is a boob shot. Yes, that's pretty much on purpose.)
