hard day's night

So, I was supposed to work 7-11 today. I got called at 4 and asked if I could come in any earlier, I said sure, I could be there around 5. So at 4:30 I left for work at the mall only to find that I would have to drive through hail and a flood, and get stuck at a car accident on 198 for almost a half hour and go through another car accident on 33 and then get to work and have to park outside because all the canadians took the parking spaces in the employee lot.

Then I went to work and did more manual labor than I have ever done at that store before. I had to use a big pole to take dusty clothes down off the displays, then I had to climb a ladder all the way to the ceiling to take down signs and banners and mannequins (which, by the way, had high heels, belly buttons, and dimples in their asses, but no upper bodies). In total, I took down 8 signs, 3 banners, and 12 mannequins, all by myself. I had to take off my shoes to climb the ladder or I would have died. Then I had to take all the pants off the mannequins. Then I had to take out a bunch of yucky garbage.

It wasn't a bad day, I'm just tired. 8*

(e:twisted) I was reading your journal and saw Rhinebeck NY!!! I'm from Columbia County originally, and my boyfriend is from the Red Hook/Pine Plains area. :) Isn't it great there?

this is stupid

wouldn't it be nuts if dreams were real? i know they aren't, but what if...when our bodies are sleeping here, what we think are dreams are actually ourselves in some sort of alternate reality. or even, if the brain is able to get on another level of consciousness and actually see an alternate reality.

yes, i am crazy

college has made me stupider

sweetest day

[inlink]metalpeter,174[/inlink] Thanks for that info. I had no clue what the hell Sweetest Day was. I never heard of it until I moved to Buffalo for college. I thought it was just some crazy holiday Buffalo invented in order to sell stuff.

visions in the night

I dreamed that Ruby ate huge holes in all my jeans and so I have to buy new ones. I bought them, but i couldn't find them. Turns out real life had turned into a type of Second Life and my pants were in my inventory. I had to click and drag to get them out.

olfactory memories

today i remembered...

the smell of warm spring rain on fresh grass just born
and the smell of the warm asphalt in the evening after a rain shower as the twlight sky danced above

ps: to the girl who lives below me, if you ever read this, i think i heard you singing as i walked up the stairs this evening. you have a beautiful voice.

can I see some ID for that?

So, Wegmans has this 100% proof policy now for buying alcohol. RJ and I were in line and the cashier in the next line over asked a man if he had ID for the Labatt he was buying. He said, "Are you serious?!" and sort of did a half-laugh half-annoyed noise. I turned to look at the man and found that he had to be at least 75-years-old. That is the funniest thing ever. The poor guy prolly hasn't had to show ID for 50 years.

daydreaming

The journey home
Is never too long
Your heart arrives before train
The journey home
Is never too long
Some yesterdays always remain

I'm going back to where my heart was light
When my pillow was a ship I sailed through the night

The journey home is never too long
When open arms are waiting there
The journey home is never too long
There's room to love and room to spare

I want to feel the way I did there
And think my wishes through before I wish again

The journey home is never too long
Home hopes to heal the deepest pain
The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train

Not every boat you come across is one you have to take
Now sometimes standing still can be the best move you ever make.

"The Journey Home" by Sarah Brightman

So, just for the record, every time you see something about Pano contributing to the community by giving scholarships, take a look at the requirements, which are the same every year (they just came in my email from BSC):

Pano Scholarship
*Awarded to students with financial need
*Must be a BSC student
*Must be a sophomore, junior or senior
*Single-mother over 25 or an ethnic minority
*Scholarship funds will be disbursed for the spring 2005 term
*Deadline - December 1, 2004

Thanks for the help Mr. Big Shot entrepreneur. I am definitely not a single-mother of 25 nor an ethnic minority, but I am a college student and I am poor.

"I can see those forks a mile away"...

...said a man in a shop door between Blockbuster and Merlin's. yes, the front forks of my bike are neon orange. I bought it 10 years ago in the 7th grade. I still love my bike. It gets me around and it doesn't charge me $2.15 for a gallon of gas.

I'm sorry to the man that I accidentally rode out in front of who wanted to make a right on red at West Ferry and Elmwood. We had a miscommunication. I didn't mean to jump out like that.

I'm sorry to my anthropology teacher for doodling in class instead of paying attention. You really need some better teaching techniques. Scratch that...you need some teaching techniques. Writing an essay for each class and presenting it with bullet points on PowerPoint, then reading to us directly from the PowerPoint and not having an class discussion at all [c]is not teaching![/c]

I'm sorry to my elbow for bashing it on my bike this morning. I am sorry to my knee for bashing it on my bike this evening.

pooped

Happy birthday girls! I hope you both have a great day.

I drove my little car 750 miles this weekend. That was quite a haul, but well worth it. I love it back home. The air smells sweet and feels lighter. One more winter and then I am out of this hole.

I took a midterm this morning. I prolly got a B on it. I could have studied more, but my 40 page unit plan and my trip back home was more important.

I got my bunbun back this morning. :) That's the best thing ever. She's running all over the house now, so excited to be out of her cage.

It should be a decent day from here on out.
