capacity
so i realised today, as i was standing there in K-Mart, arguing with the checker over a $3 difference between the total in my head and the total on her register (which, after all, it turns out i was right about as i looked over the receipt inthe car - she charged me twice for two things. and i might also add that it wasn't really an "argument," really, just me saying "i counted about $3 less than that..." and her rescanning everything, giving me the same total and me saying, "okay. thank you!"), that i am way too damn overeducated for my own good and it's depressing. i could do, literally, any typical job in the freaking WORLD, with some procedural crash course training. clearly not the highliy specific things like building circuit boards or shooting people on behalf of our government or whatever, but, like...any damn job you find in the newspaper - i'd be all over it like white on rice and better at it than anyone who'd previously worked for you inside of 6 months. it's sick. and stupid because no one will actually hire me. how do you translate "disgustingly good at everything. no, seriously. even things i've never done before." into a resume?
anyway. i don't care if that sounded haughty. it doesn't make it any less true.
i'm burnt out on hot weather and it's blissfully cool today, so that's nice. i saw Sunshine with Kermit & my brother over the weekend and really liked 3/4 of it. a lot. i mean a-lot-a lot. now i feel guilty when i complain about how bright it is outside and wish for snow and for it to be night all the time. thank you, Danny Boyle. no, really, it was beautiful and i really did like those 3/4 of it a whole freaking lot.
i have a new harddrive to replace the dying one. it's been sitting on the floor since last, what...Thursday? still in the box. i'm lame :) i think my older DVD drive is going now too as it doesn't seem to want to read half the DVDs i burn with the second drive. go figure. at least those are cheap :)
i wonder if ... no. i'm going to go eat cantaloupe.
