We could plant a house, we could build a tree

Things have just been working out badly today. Most of it is quite trivial, but I’m in a weird mood funk, so everything is fairly impacting. For starters, I had (and still am) working a 12 hour shift. Which, despite the extra cash, is never something I look forward to. The woman I am working for, also failed to mention to my boss that she would be gone for the entire day, so when my boss was behind in her job, and had to relieve me to give me a break, she was mad at ME! I can’t help this, and if I’m working 12 damn hours today, you better believe I’m getting a second 15 minute break. Hopefully the woman I am working for will get chewed out a little tomorrow, or at least I am going to tell myself that she did. HA!

Also, Mike, a salesman here at work left today (I haven’t figured out whether he quit or was fired though.) We started on the same day as each other, so we were kind of “newbies” together. And he came up to me and said, “Bye dear, I won’t be coming back.” All I could do was sit there with my mouth open and say, “A A A A Are you really leaving?” I swear I haven’t had tears well up in my eyes in a long time. It could just be I’m acting very typical of a woman today, but it was really disheartening.

It just seems like, all day something hasn’t been right. I can’t quite place my finger on what is wrong, but it definitely feels as if there is something out of place.

I had forgotten how wrapped up I can get when reading. For the past two days at work, I’ve read three entire books. It’s not that much of a feat, considering they were of no more than 200 pages. But, nonetheless, I get absolutely sucked in once I start reading, and the book has grasped my attention. I have the hardest time putting it down. It’s almost creepy to me, because I feel as if I’m spying in on these people, (even though they are fictional characters) and I get completely wrapped up in whatever story is it they are trying to tell. I feel as if I know these “people,” and it’s like I am living a different life. I suppose I use it as an escape. Wow… that sounded extremely corny, but it’s basically the truth.

I don’t like the new update screen.
