So. I'm not dead yet, though I haven't checked livejournal since my last entry which, for those of you playing the home game, was a month and a half ago. For future reference: I will be virtually incapacitated (that is to say, incapacitated in the virtual worlld) from about mid-November until January every year for as long as I work retail ( Read more... )

So this week I work at the Somerville Barnes & Noble, which is prettier and newer than my store. It also makes more money than mine and is an hour away. That is basically 1,200% of my usual commute time. I woke up this morning at 5 AM. I didn't even know they had a five in the a.m ( Read more... )

You guys! Brad Renfro is dead. I can't even tell you how completely devastated my 15-year-old self is to hear that ( Read more... )

So, last Wednesday or Thursday I came down with a cough. Typical, I figured, and I would get over it. By Saturday, the cough had gotten worse and by Sunday, I thought for sure that I'd contracted some form of Consumption or Ebola or something hideous that would cause me to waste away dramatically like Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, only without ( Read more... )

Before I forget

So tired. Yesterday was insanely busy and we have a district manager visit coming up Wednesday, so today's monday meeting was mostly spent preparing ourselves for that. I didn't get home until quarter to ten and now I'm sleepy enough that I'm going to actually sleep. I didn't have coffee this morning and I didn't sleep much last night. Also, ( Read more... )
