The 17th is upon us!
My days have been filled with apprehension and packing! >.< Joel and I both agree that we'll be EXCEPTIONALLY happy when this move has come and gone. And we both agree we wish it would just hurry and be Friday already! ^_^
I finished that Pratchett novel. It was good. Just not the taste I wanted at the time, I suppose. Finished yesterday morning before I took Bill to work. Since yesterday was Valentine's Day, Joel and I decided to get some lunch (our usual Chinese lunch was going to be interrupted this week because of the move on Friday, so we pushed it up a few days) and we went to the library. I've lived in Decatur for over three years now, but had NEVER stepped foot inside the library before yesterday. For shame! I know. But since we just RECENTLY got a car, I had a good excuse. Equipped myself with a library card and checked out two books. :) We were both steadly heading into a food coma from the Chinese so I cut the perusing short with only going after those two books. They aren't new to me, both re-reads. Both Anne Rice novels. :)
And as for work? Well, let me just post the two status updates I put on Facebook for you to understand...
Monday night: An employee from Applebee's... the restaurant located in front of my hotel... came to the desk a minute ago.
Dude: "Hey..." -taps on counter-
Me: -comes from the back office- Yes?
Dude: "Is it alright if I use the Men's bathroom? I work over at Applebee's...
Me: -points in the bathroom's direction- Sure... First time one of the employees from over there has asked instead of just gone.
Dude: I like... to be polite.
Me: -laughs- First time for everything.
Dude: Want to come with me?
Me: -stops chuckling- O.O ... huh, what?!
Dude: -shit eating grin- First time for everything, right?
Me: O.o I don't think my husband would appreciate me accompanying another man to the restroom besides him... -pointed stare-
Dude: -shrugs and continues smiling- What he doesn't know won't hurt him, eh eh?
Me: -points to where the bathroom is again and walks back to the back office- Have a good night.
Dude: -muffled from walking away- Would be better with you...
Me: -turns audiobook back on and ignores the desk-
Yes... that just happened. >.< Drunk restaurant employees are LOADS of fun...
Joel, my love, why can't our hotels be RIGHT next door to one another?!
Last night: After last night's encounter with an Applebee's employee, I thought things would go smoothly until next week. (I usually only get strange occurrences once a week, on average.) NOPE! I was just outside having a smoke and reading my book when I heard a trickling of water. I thought to myself, "Shit, is it really starting to rain again?" See, I have a hole in the bottom of one of my shoes, so when it... rains I get cranky. I look around. In the Applebee's parking lot, I see a man standing awkwardly beside a new, red Mustang and it's parked under one of the business' outside lights. I have to let my eyes focus for a minute before I realize that the man is PISSING on this mustang! A woman comes out of the restaurant at this time and yells, "Are you pissing on the CAR?!" Then I hear a slurred reply of, "Oh! This isn't the bathroom?" O.o It's cold. It's windy. And it's dark-ish. Then I /facepalm the book on my forehead. Looking at the man and woman again, I see her pull the man away from the car, causing him to fall on his ass... then I heard a scream. Apparently the drunk bastard has caught himself in the zipper of his pants. -snicker- The woman yells, "Put your dick away and get in the car before I leave you to sleep in the parking lot!" He fell close to the car, so as he's trying to get up he puts one of his hands on the part he's urinated on and slips forward, banging his head on the side of the car, yelping in pain. I try not to laugh... loudly. The woman is already in the car, started it and honks the horn, thinking it will hurry the man along. He finally gets up, stumbles to the passenger side of the car and gets in. She drives off in a hurry, passing a parked police car... the blue lights and siren go off. She pulls off the road still within viewing range and I put out my cigarette and come back inside laughing so very, very hard.
Yes, this happened. And yes, I wish I could have gotten video of it.
I realize I sometimes love working at the hotel behind the Applebee's... ^_^
Oh! Also... something I posted about Valentine's Day:
Valentine's Day is the most bipolar holiday I've ever experienced! And Facebook is the perfect venue for it. I'm at work, finally looking over my news feed because I've ignored FB all day to continue packing and spend some time with Joel... and I can't help but laugh! My friends with significant others are mushy, gushy writing stuff (I'm no exception, I wrote Joel a nice parody ^_^ ). And my frien...ds that are without on this holiday are slamming their friends that are with! I see: I love my BF/GF/husband/wife! And a couple of posts down I see: I hate this socialist, consumerism holiday! And I know for a fact that if the roles were reversed, so would the thought processes. :) When I was single, I never bitched on a forum... I normally posted "love notes" to my best friends - like I still do.
Aside from that very funny observation... I got to enjoy a nice lunch with Joel and then FINALLY got my library card and a few books. :)
Joel: -driving away from the library- Do you think this was a good romantic gesture?
Me: -blinks- You took me to the library to get my library card and browsed through the books for almost an hour with me. You married me. You answer that question...
Joel: -big grin- Yeah, I thought so too.

More packing today. Tying up loose ends while Joel plays WoW, I think. :)
