i'm at work right now and i have nothing to do. which is odd...i've only been doing this job in this department for like a month. so i know i don't have my shit together that much to have nothing to do already. but here i sit...wasting the last 15 (i hope) minutes until my bf comes to pick me up and take me to buy vegetables. yes, vegetables specifically. its just fun to say the word to yourself while your typing. try it...v e g e t a b l e s...for some reason when i say it slowly my mind gives it a british accent. or maybe thats because i watched one of my all time favorite movies last night...4 weddings and a funeral....and i have hugh g's blinking, stuttering, charming humor stuck in my head. that really is one of the best movies, if for no other reason than coining the phrase "fuck-a-doodle-do" which i say on the regular.
right...that took up a whopping 5 minutes. i can see this is going to be harder than i thought.
the real challenge here is trying to type very delicately so that the other people in the room think i'm working and not sending email or whatever. i play these games with myself when i'm at work to try to make the every-day more fun. like...when i used to have to print and log the resumes every day i would try to guess how many times i had to copy & paste the date in the spread sheet. if the last resume to be logged came on the last line with the date in it i won. of course, i never told anyone...until now...and i feel really incredibly stupid to actual admit to doing...so it was my own little delite whenever i won. the typing is kind of like that. maybe that's why i like doing these kinds of jobs. or maybe its just that i'm still so happy and grateful to not be working behind the counter of a record store i can barely stand it. or maybe i'm just a little stupid. probably all of them. i wonder if anyone else makes up stupid little private games to get them through their monotonous days.
