New season of project runway started. My favorite people to hate are all gone as of this week! *approves* and the girls I like (the boys don't impress me as much this cycle.) are still there.
Natalie and Monk remind me of my boss and her little son. Like a lot. I've counted at least three times each episode this season, where Natalie is trying to bolster Monk's confidence, or Monk is whining about something, and I get this flash of recognition. My boss uses a lot of the same tactics to get the boy to cheer up when he's grumpy. The "demanding" side of his personality is eerily similar to Monk's. (There are some major differences. The kid has no qualms about hugs, public restrooms, or the fact that several of our posters don't hang straight.)
Also, as of 4:30 today I am FREE FROM RETAIL!!! NO MORE TACKY-ASSED LAB COAT! NO MORE JABBA, NO MORE FREEZER, NO MORE BENCH-PRESSING 30 POUNDS OF GROUND BEEF! NO MORE RIB GUY, NO MORE SCHIZO GUY! NO MORE ICKY INSTOCKS BOYS! NO MORE GARGOYLE BITCH, NO MORE IDIOT, NO MORE NEW MANAGER WHO EVERYONE HATES! NO MORE CASHIERING, NO MORE 5 AM WAKEUP! I made an announcement to a few of my co-workers when I had only 90 minutes left, and Jabba the Hutt was all "that's really kind of rude"...and so I tried to act contrite, but in my head, I was like "I just told you I have 90 minutes left. What are you going to do, send me home?" I also played catch with some people in the backroom, with some plastic wrap for the last ten minutes of my shift.
Bakery Minion and I talked about going out dancing with some people she knows to celebrate. I kind of want to just stay in, but I also kind of hope she calls, because today she told me she was mad at our eye candy, for the same reasons that I was confused by the eye candy, and I kind of want to break it all down. Who was too drunk? Who got too mean? Is there something going on in somebody's head that needs to be laid out on the table? (My head is staying firmly under lock and key, until I see somebody else's cards.)
I need a haircut. Desperately.
