I know usually when I say "I got an email from my mom" on here it means I am about to tell y'all about something goofy and/or affectionately passive-aggressive she sent me. But I just got an email from my mom. It was the transcript of a commencement speech Steve Jobs made, with her own header that ended like this ( Read more... )

I mention to my boss that I'm pretty stressed right now because of moving, but I'm going to try to do my best at work all the same. And he tells me I need to just set that aside when I'm at work. "We all have problems! I have problems, M has problems, everyone. But when you get to work, when you're putting your coat and everything in you locker, ( Read more... )

Dear Co-workers:
When you wash dishes, do me a favor. If you've got a band-aid on when you put on the dishwashing gloves, MAKE SURE IT IS STILL ON WHEN YOU TAKE OFF THE GLOVES. DEAR SWEET GOD. That was the worst surprise ever when I put on the gloves. I can not wash my hands enough ever.
Disgustedly,
Cat

Thursday: work Christmas party. Got a free movie pass in the chinese gift exchange. Isabelle made the awesomest custom apron, much coveted and thrice-stolen. Daniel brought a scarf with POCKETS IN THE END, which Bosslady eventually won. It was genius, and I'm reverse-engineering one for Belly in exchange for her embroidering tattoo-style birds on ( Read more... )

Eve helps me not go crazy at work, even when period is contagious. I just feel sorry for Sev, who only sees hours 9 and 10 of our co-madness, and must assume we act like crazy people all day, screaming "cooopuns!" at each other and impersonating zombie toddlers. Okay, so maybe that's true, but it gets more severe in the last 2 hours ( Read more... )

You know what you really don't want to do after working on your feet for 10 hours? Ride a bike over 1.6 miles of hills(I googled it). My legs are pissed, and my feet may or may not be packing their bags as we speak, but I got a mini-bonus from my entirely-too-nice boss for covering some shifts next week and showing up 5 minutes early. I may not be ( Read more... )

Things that got me through today:

1: The fact that I was working with eve_lynn , and we were both feeling equally shitty/tired, so neither of us were pissed at the other for being too lazy or anything like that. There are very few people I could spend ten hours of hard work with and then NOT not want to see for a week or three, Eve is is one of those ( Read more... )

The Weeds Season 1 soundtrack is pretty swell, I hope to find the tracks for Season 2(Including the "Little Boxes" variants) sometime soon.

I made enough in tips today to pay for Halo 3. Sixty-one fucking dollars. At a mufuggin' coffee shop. It's a little creepy how much I love this job. Now we just have to see if it'll pay the rent. Though I will ( Read more... )
