Work is kicking my ass.
Sunday, I wasn't scheduled until 11. When the phone rang at a quarter to seven, I expected it was Kent's ride calling to say he was here (we have the BEST cab driver! Always on time or early, helps me carry my groceries when I do my big grocery shop and can't schlep them on the bus, and plays Bollywood soundtracks. What more can a girl ask for?). I rolled over and thought happily that I could sleep for another 3 hours.
Then I heard Kent say "Well, she'll still in the bed, but...."
Oh, FUCK ME. Yeah, I ended up pulling a double. ON EASTER. And it reminded me how much (despite my generally friendly demeanor) that I despise most of the human race. You just got out of church, so that allows you to be an asshole to people in the service industry? That's why I don't worship your god. Blergh. And that was followed up by two days of learning CMS (no, I don't know what it stands for, either. No one seems to), so I was learning how to do all of our premade salads, sandwiches, pizza, yadda yadda yadda in a freezing cold room. On the up side, there were no people so....yay?
I am off today, and I ain't doing shit. Well, unless day drinking and watching Verdon/Fosse counts as doing something. And I WILL finish the shawl I've been making for me. My new goal is to finish at least one project I get to keep before the end of the year. So of course I'm trying to finish a worsted weight half granny square shawl when it's supposed to be 86F today. I'm smart like that.
In other news, I found a dress for prom! They're holding a "grown up prom" at our favorite arcade/watering hole the first weekend in May, and unlike my senior year, I actually have a date! There was a GORGEOUS dress at one of my favorite thrift stores: floor length deep purple chiffon. Empire waist, halter top neckline, little sparkly straps....and it was only FIVE BUCKS! I'm going to re-dye my hair purple and try to figure out how to do a messy up-do. I wish I knew where to find some sparkly butterfly pins to put in it. I'd also like long gloves, but, again....no access to big box stores or a mall. :( But at least I have a date!
And I better get a nice corsage, or I am NOT putting out. *snicker*
