In my long LJ absence I've acquired summer jobbage. I get to be a 'courtesy clerk' at Safeway, which is pretty much just a fancy way of saying that I'm a bagboy who gets the additional benefits of cleaning up spills made by customers who haven't grasped the notion of holding onto an item. Kinda sucks given that I was hoping for something music-orientated and, well, I'm a fucking bagboy for three and a half months but it's 200 dollars a week to throw groceries into bags so feh.
We've also had a death in the family recently. My iPod of one year and five months was officially pronounced deceased by an Apple Store official earlier this week. Cause of death was determined to be corruption of the hard drive via excessive shocks, a COD seen as suspicious given the iPod's relatively passive life. The iPod, or Poddy as he prefered to be called, will be remembered for his monochrome affinity for nostalgia and his portability. He is survived by the new iPod recently ordered and expected to enter the household within the next few days.
Also, today I found a van with a confederate flag license plate on the front. Is it okay for me to say I *really* hate Calgary now?
