The Kickoff, The Skin-off, The Wrap-off
Thursday 11/17/05
I feel like I should discuss this in some official capacity just because. Ben, Allie, Bryn, Squeedge, Steph, Peter, Katie, Steffi, and I were all present at Nate's birthday get together, with Matt later. After assorted highlights like Olive Garden, extreme banter, a trip to the grocery store for purposely misdecorated cake fun with Katie (who didn't know about Class somehow so I had to fill her in btw), and sitting around Nate's house (which was heralded as boring even though I thought it was rather amusing, but maybe that's just because I took such an uncalled for number of pictures of Giles the cat), Ben, Nate, Allie, and I went up to Madison. We packed into Ben's car, Allie and I in the backseat with hardcore pillow stuffage, and drove up. We mostly focused on iPodding, and by some miracled of Gawd I didn't fall asleep on the way.
We all shacked up in the Purple Room, which isn't allowed but no one was gonna be walking in on us so... Nate used his laptop for Facebook with Allie at his side and Ben used mine to do the same while I glanced over and read some of Allie's magazines. Ultimately we were all up way past our bedtimes. Though Ben went down first, and then thrased a bit, and then slipped between the couch and the chairs we pulled up in front of our feet using my legs stretching across those two things as a shield to the lights on... Did that make sense?
Friday 11/18/05
Ben had to get up at like 6:45 to go move his car, though I was up for a bit before the alarm. We set out to do that, preparing ourselves for a long haul that actually ended up being a really short one. Silly late night distance perceptions. Allie went on to her classes while Nate, Ben, and I got prepped for reparking the car and walking to the stadium for the Wisco State game. We used the bathroom of the Historical Society Library thing up the street from her dorm to change and wash up. Then walked out still carrying our blankets and pillows and stuff amidst the rush of students in passing to class. It was pretty great.
We were at McDonalds eating terrifyingly unflavourful food and ultimately decided that Ben didn't really want to go and Nate was blargh on it and I didn't really want to make them sit in the cold for three hours for nothing so we just... went home. Nate slept and Ben and I talked a bit. Got dropped off, watched TV and went to work. Don't really remember much of importance happening. Though I did find out that we need to sweep Fridays now because our floor people changed and now they don't take care of sweeping before waxing. Sadness.
Ben got off work early and forgot this as he called me expecting me to be in closing mode myself. Sorry, mister. So I told him I'd call him to just come get me after close. He did, and also gave me a whore pick up line in front of Stef and Josh so I was pleased. We went to Pegasus obviously. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
Sunday 11/20/05
I talked about Saturday in the course of like three posts last weekend so that's covered. Sunday was a pretty slow day. We were super staffed so I did extraish work while dumping garbages cuz we priced at full speed and actually produced trash quickly. Bill asked me to empty cages but I only got around to doing one because of constant interruption. I was doing furniture also.
I was carrying out a couch with JJ when I walked into a piece of furniture standing on it's side and it just dug into me. I've been watching the cut heal all week... it was bleeding fairly badly at the time. Boo.
On lunch I was walking around with my camera taking crazy mad pictures of everything ever for Typography. I found half the alphabet in the store so it was fun. JJ and Shanda suggested I use the z racks for my, duh, z. Go them.
I stayed in the back as opposed to putting stuff away like what generally happens on Sunday, though I did go out into the store eventually. It was a textbook slow close cuz at 6pm we had racks to put away, bins to put away, and a variety of Mexicaons still in the store not understanding our closedness. I got to use espanol to remind them. Yay. Got picked up by mom and then by Nate from the house to go to his family Birthday party thing.
I met Fay's Italian Stallion boyfriend John. We had stew and bread and rolls and fancy salad so it was all good. Made a couple gay innuendos. Openned presents. Nate did a little modeling afterwards in his new jacket and jeans. After getting bundled up with leftover pastries I was deposited at home where I crashed into slumber.
