Better . . .
Better than nothin' - I managed to get part of the day of work to . . . work (on paper, projects, etc.). So I don't have to be in 'till like 2:45, which is only 'cause there's a wedding sitting and no one else there who can really do it. My sentiment of the night last night was that I'm really tired of being the only person I work with who is apparently intelligent enough to do my job!! Grr! (Okay, so it's a bit of an overstatement, but I was more than a wee-bit frustrated with people in general). I got to work like 5 min. late, 'cause I forgot that it's May now, which means that Minnesota closes like half its roads for construction, which is fine so long as I remember to allow myself like an extra 15 min. or so to get anywhere from anywhere. Then I got there, and my 4:15 Senior (graduation sitting) showed up at 4:10 (they're supposed to be 20-30 min. early for their pre-sit), so gave her the book, went to get a soda, the damn machine ate my dollar bill, Sam Goody only had like Code Red and regular Pepsi (the other place nearby we run for soda), finally made change in the register and used quarters to get a Dew from the machine, went to put my hair up quick and broke one of my favourite hair sticks (it's really cool - it's wavy, so the pair make it look like I have horns *grins*), and then got into my Senior like 15 minutes late 'cause the sitting before ran over . . .grrrr! And on top of all that, by body remembered that it was a girl. Grr arg. /rant.
*smiles sweetly**blink, blink*
But I actually got a personal hand-written thank-you card from a sitting I did last week. So that was cool. Was a re-sit from another store, and the mom just absolutely couldn't believe the difference between the level of our crew and the other store. We get that a lot. *smiles* *shrugs* We're a good store, overall.
And I went grocery shopping last night. So I have food now. Better. Yay.
And best of all, I got a really fabulous note from a dear friend that really just made my day today and reminded me that people give a shit. And sometimes they just do, and what you feel you "deserve" (or don't) has nothing to do with it. *breathes* Many thanks to the Powers that Be for him, and people like him. *smiles softly*
Ordinary Day
Just a day, just an, ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an, ordinary boy but
he was looking to the sky and
As he asked if I would come along
I started to realize that everyday he finds just what he's lookin' for
And like a shooting star he shines, and he said
(Chorus):
Take my hand, live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
And as he spoke, he spoke, ordinary words
Though they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal and
As I looked up into those eyes, his vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time, and he said
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
Please come with me, see what I see
Touch the stars fro time will not flee
Time will not flee, can't you see . . .
Just a dream, just an, ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And that boy, that ordinary boy
Was it all in my head?
Didn't he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real, but as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal, and he said
(Chorus)
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy, but
He was looking to the sky

So, other than work yet to be done, better all around at the moment.
So . . . off to get to work and maybe actually get something done!
