5:00 will never come
Dear lord today is dragging on forever. I didn't even come in until 11:30. My boss is gone which means i could leave right now, but i feel sort of guilty about it. So instead i'll just piss around on livejournal to make the other people in the office think i'm working for the next fifteen minutes. I can't seem to get rid of this bug i've caught, and i've spent the day being entirely unpleasant, hacking and wheezing and snotting loudly in my corner. People keep looking at me every time i do it, too. Which is funny because you think they'd be used to it by now. I guess i really am that repulsive. Ok. ten minutes left. I think i can probably start to pack up now. It is sooooo time to move far away from Rhode Island.
PS. i'm obsessed with this folk song call "Four Strong Winds." I wanted the Carter Family Sisters version of it, but alas, i had to settle for the itunes alternatives. Bobby Bare was the only one to get the intonation right.
Here are the lyrics:
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
I might go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
Got some friends that I can go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been thru that a hundred times or more
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
If I get there before the snow flies
Things are going good
You could join me if I send you down the fare
But if you wait until it's winter
It would do no good
For the wind sure blows cold way out there
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that won't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on...
PPS. My office smells like hamburgers for some reason. My God do i want a hamburger.
