are you ready?
i slept horribly again last night, making my total hours of sleep for the last two days about 3. i know i was still wide awake at 6am this morning and i had to wake up at 8am. i was so tempted to call out, i just felt like the biggest piece of crap ever to leave someone's asshole. but i somehow managed to drag myself out of bed, get ready, spill water all over myself once i was dressed, and drop my cellphone and break it. all before 9am! that's some good multi-tasking right there.
then around 9:30am, we had an EARTHQUAKE. i was actually in the stock room getting lightbulbs and the walls started shaking but i thought it was just a plane or something. didn't really think any more of it until after i got off work and my Mom said "did you feel the earthquake earlier?" so yes, i did. crazy. it was only like a 2.1 or something, but i think it fully prepared me for "the big one". ha, not even, i'm still scared.
worked 9a-5p today and surprisingly it went by pretty quick. it was a slow day, so i was on the phone for a couple of hours making calls to customers to remind them that our city cash sale starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday. proof that i have powers: i looked at this customer's name, Megan Jones. i thought it said Megan James at first and then i started saying "James Jones" inside my head, thinking that was a weird name and wondering if anyone was named James Jones. then i remembered that there is a James Earl Jones. next call i make, who do you think picks up the phone? James Earl Jones telling me that that number has been disconnected. POWER.
and i had a total flashback to 1999 today...while i was leaving a message for one customer, i was facing the front of the store and kicked my foot back and had it resting on this shelf behind the counter that the smaller bags are kept on. i went to bring my foot down and as i did so, i brought the entire shelf down with me and bags went everywhere. the message went a little something like this:
"hi, this is Leigh calling from New York and Company in Marley Station. i was just calling to (KABOOM! CRASH! SPLAT!) OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! (10 second pause) ...to remind you that our city cash sale (laugh) starts tomorrow (laugh), the 24th, and runs (laugh) through Sunday, (laugh) the 27th. we also have a huge (laugh) pant event going (laugh) on, buy one pair, get (laugh) the second half (laugh) off. we hope to (laugh) see you (laugh) then. bye! (laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh)"
anyway, it reminded me of 1999 because the same type of thing happened when i was recording a sound clip on the computer...i forget who i was talking to but it was blah blah blah "oooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeh! plus, Matt's coming on Wednesday, so OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!" and you hear a shelf with an encyclopedia on it come crashing down and then the sound clip cuts off. haha so funny.
after work i did a little shopping, ran a few errands, and ran into Mr. Selway in the grocery store. it was sad because he was saying that he knows that the best years of his life are behind him concerning the band situation and that 92-96 were great years for him. no shit, yo! during his speech about me in 12th grade he said something along the lines of "Leigh is a character, she's not someone who i'm going to see walking down the street 10 years from now and have to wonder who she is." it's good to know i'm not easily forgotten because i try too hard not to be, har har.
got a lot of my finances in order tonight, checking things off my "to do" list, contemplating a trip to California just for the weekend in March, but we'll see about that. somehow my NY&Co bill is over $500 again after i just paid it off. ok, i'll stop the innocent act, yes, i buy stuff, wah wah wah. but anyway, that shit needs to stop. the plan was to pay it off in full and then cancel the damn thing. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLAN, MAN?!?!?!?!?!
so i have off tomorrow but i'm planning on getting up early because i need to get to the MVA to get a new Maryland ID card since mine was stolen. was supposed to go out all day after that but it's calling for a snowstorm here so i might just be stuck inside. which would be good because it would prevent me from shopping...offline, at least. <3
p.s. Heather is a moron.
