~ Who knows why, but lately I've been revisiting creations from my earlier days online. Rewatching my first YouTube videos (+6 years old). Rereading my first fanfictions (~3 years old). It makes me feel very old. I think I might resurrect one of my YouTube channels, Film Poems, the one where I posted movie scenes that quote books or poetry. It ( Read more... )

Today was such a strange day. It was my LAST day at my current job. I've been there for a loooong time, so it's really weird to know that I won't be going back. I'm not sure it's sunk in yet. My managers were kind enough to buy a chocolate cake that said Best Wishes, Rebecca. I wasn't expecting that, so I was really touched -- and the cake was darn ( Read more... )

The weather here is so nice right now. Sable likes to just sit on the grass in the sun. Here's are a few things I've done so far this week:

~ Wrote a fanfiction for a TV show that I don't even watch. I've seen some clips of it, but never a full episode. I'm still on the first line of the author summary on profile page, but I'm getting close to ( Read more... )

One of my coworkers was on vacation this week, so the rest of us had to work more hours than usual. And business has slowed down a bit lately, so it was a long slooow week. Yesterday I had only two one-hour breaks between Shabbat morning services at 9, Torah study after that, and work until past 9 after that. Ugh. Torah study was very interesting, ( Read more... )

Hallelujah, I finally have a working phone again, and we're finally through with inventory at work! Inventory isn't too bad, just boring and long. Tonight I didn't get home until after eleven - blegh! The bad news is that with inventory over, back-to-school is right around the corner. It's very depressing, because I didn't think I'd be at this job ( Read more... )

A few tidbits of my week so far:

~ One of my managers in the habit of telling me all about his farm, lawn, goats, etc., even though I couldn't care less. One day he was showing me the callouses on his hands and said, "Look at my hands, Rebecca. See, I have a working man's hands." I said, "Well, I think that working man wants his hands back." He ( Read more... )

I kinda broke a shelfing unit at work today. I turned into a blithering idiot for a few seconds, tried to stand on it, and it collapsed from under me. (I caught myself on my arm, and now it's sore as hell.) So far no one has noticed, but I've been walking on eggshells waiting for someone to. Don't ask me what I was thinking, because I don't know. I ( Read more... )

In Catholicism, St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost items. St. Jude, however, is the patron saint of lost causes, which is fitting because Jude can take a sad song and make it better. (Proof that I know as much about about religilous stuff as certain people who keep bringing up that time I asked my theology teacher what the "Book of P-Salms" ( Read more... )

Scenes from an office supply store breakroom...
EJ: I'm gonna have the most awesome time this weekend, Rebecca.
Me: No, I'm gonna have the most awesome time, EJ.
EJ: Oh, yeah? What're you doing?
Me: You first.
EJ: Well, I'm going camping! With lesbians! And there's gonna be alcohol!
Me: Well, I'm going canoeing! With Mormons! And there's gonna be ( Read more... )

Sara says that one day she's going to call my store and ask for a shredder that can shred human remains. She never has, but on Tuesday, we got a customer that was almost as good. A normal-looking middle-aged man asked about voice recorders, and when Tim showed him what we carry, he asked if any of them could be hidden inside a bag to secretly ( Read more... )
