what a day. last night was interesting, i couldn't sleep much from the combination of john being gone and today being my first day of work. the bed was too big to look at, so i put a towel over the comforter and let tippy sleep up there. she did really well, way better than i expected. she stayed on the towel, didn't try to climb on me, and i slept really soundly (once i got to sleep) until she started scratching at about 645. this morning i woke up too early, and i got to the HR office ten minutes early, and i was the last one there. there were three other new hires there, and we all filled out paperwork for about an hour. i noticed on my official hire letter that they had put down "north austin" as the location instead of oak hill, which was odd. then when i got to the oak hill store, they told me that both service managers were out for the day, and that they weren't expecting me to get there til wednesday. also, they kept calling me amy. turns out there is an amy who's starting on wednesday, but they forgot about me. so since the service managers weren't there, there was no one to start the whole orientation process, so they sat me down at one of the desks by the motor bank, and told me to observe. so i observed. i read some informational packets. and i watched a video about robbery. and that was my first day of work. tomorrow they will be back and i can actually start this whole thing. oh well.
i think i'm still hungry. also, i'm really curious about this new movie called teeth. and we saw sweeney todd recently, and i dug it. people kept saying it was gorey, but i guess in my head gorey involves guts and mangled bodies, so to me it was just bloody. and it looked like they made an effort to have the blood not look quite real, a little orange and an odd consistency, which is maybe what people have been meaning by "artistic blood." anyway, i liked it. i still want to see there will be blood, and no country for old men, and probably some others.
alright, i'm going to chill out and probably fall asleep before ten.
