Longest Day EVAR

Not really. However, it did feel that way, mostly due to how slow things seemed to be at work towards the end of my shift. I did get my break a little early on, so that didn’t help things. I’d look down at my watch and groan since I’d have 3 hours left… half of my shift! Ew. Then, as it got closer to the end, time went by even more slowly! It was obnoxious.

I came home, watched Glee and went to my bar and was just bleh. I drank ginger ale and tried to sing with the frog I kind of have sitting in my throat. I exerted myself vocally yesterday by talking a lot and singing some songs that required belting and again today at work, I was fairly talkative. At least, I think I was more talkative than normal, it just felt that way to me. Who knows if that was really the case, though. I definitely made it a relatively early night tonight, and picked up one of my comfort foods1 on the way home. Thankfully there’s one in the neighborhood that’s open until 2AM. Who’s a happy girl? I’m a happy girl.

Now, I’m just sitting at home, having already blogged earlier this evening as I’m getting back into paid blogging for some extra cash. I don’t have any TV shows to watch, but I could muster up something on Netflix if I would just point and click. Even that feels like effort, but here I am, typing out words and thinking. Silly me. I definitely do need to get through all of the posts left unread on my Google Reader. Then it will be to bed with me! *sleep*

A Day In The Life

What is more exciting to write about than a slightly more-than-average day of mine? There is sleep, then there is waking up, then there is driving around, then there is going to work, then there is singing karaoke at a bar. It doesn’t sound enthralling, but today was what I would call a good day. Who doesn’t like an average day that just ends up being good in the simplest ways, right? The little things, people.

After dropping the husband off at work, I decided to stop by Bath & Body Works to pick up some more antibacterial hand soap since that shit’s always on sale. The other reason was to buy refills for my scent portable for the car. I was tired of it smelling all musty like my late grandparents’ condo whenever I got in, started it and turned on the air. I walked in on what was, apparently, their first day playing Christmas music and having all of their holiday-related displays up & out. I’m one of those people who find it excessive when Christmas music is starting to play the day after Halloween as opposed to the day after Thanksgiving. When the hell did that happen? I could’ve sworn Christmas and winter holiday shit like that didn’t start until after Thanksgiving! I can’t complain too much since I love the scent of fall & winter & Christmas. Needless to say my car smells like winter now, thanks to Fresh Balsam :) I bought the scent in the form of their scented fragrance oil over a month ago when Angel & Kristen were out here in SD for a few days and we browsed through B&BW.

Once I got to work, I had realized I’d forgotten to apply any cover-up to my neck to hide the bruise left from a particularly amorous husband from a couple days ago. It’s not obviously as far as hickeys go, but it’s still bruising and stippling on my neck above my collar :| I asked one of the coworkers I’m real friendly with if it was obvious and she played it down. Thankfully none of the management noticed, or at least didn’t say anything. Work was fairly hectic even with the random moments of slowness we experienced. I was told by one of my coworkers that he’s always glad when he sees me on the line-up when he’s working because I’m a hard worker. “I’m serious,” he said, even, since I gave him a chuckle and a look that pretty much said “Yeah, right…” I’m sure I’ve mentioned it, but at my previous store, there wasn’t a lot of morale boosting going on. More deprecating stuff usually. I think it made me a better associate, though, since I strove to please even though it was virtually impossible in that environment. It was the parent I could never please, if I ever had one.

On top of that, I’m beginning to feel a better kinship with my coworkers. Hopefully I’ll be able to move into hanging out with them outside of work soon. I need some friends out here. I want to be able to go out and have fun without the husband and without being by myself. I have no problem going out by myself, though. I have no problem eating at a restaurant or seeing a movie alone. It’s really freeing once you realize you don’t have to worry about anyone else when you’re doing those things. Just enjoy the solitude and people-watching :)

After work, I had to wait for the car to give my dead phone enough juice to call the husband and find out where he was so I could pick him up after I was held over for a few extra hours. He was at a bar1 near his work. It ended up being a bar I had Yelped when moving down here and I was looking for karaoke bars. It’s kind of a dive and it’s big with the Navy & Marine guys, so lots of guys with buzz cuts and shit. I walked in on the husband singing karaoke, which I could hear from the parking lot. I knew it was him the moment I opened the car door *lol* I managed one song in before they discontinued karaoke for the night. The DJ even said I “didn’t suck”! I laughed since that was kind of awesome after his bad comments about the previous groups of girls who went up to sing Spice Girls and Cyndi Lauper and pretty much did suck. Just as we were leaving, an older black gentleman started talking to the husband and ended up tickling him. That was beyond amusing!

Now Daylight Savings Time is over and I sent a neener-neener-neener message to Kristen about it2. Good night, all!
