my doc martens are definitely the boots I should have been wearing to work for the past two weeks. i can't believe the decrease in pain as a result of testing them out tonight. i still love my job. it seems to energize me. kind of strange. i do tend to panic a little about not going fast enough, and not packing the bags "well" or "properly". i was pissed tonight because somebody who worked the lane before me took a traveller's cheque & did not get it signed. Well, the girl from upstairs (these are the really important girls, the ones who get to work upstairs....) she came down to do a "pick up". haha. a pick up is when they take a bunch of money and stuff out of your till so it doesn't get too full. so she did the pick up (she doesn't get to carry the goods upstairs though, despite her authority, they are put into a blue plastic tube, and "tubed" upstairs. for those of you who are like "wha?", tubing systems were used back in the day to move things through large buildings (like hospitals). You put whatever you want to send (generally documents or whatever) into a tube, and you put the tube into this pipe, and punch in where you want it to go and it zooms off! it is sucked or pushed by air through the ducts (I can't remember exactly). it's really neat). In any case, when chickie did the pickup, she was like "oh uh, this traveller's cheque isn't signed". and then she went away. so i'm like "great, she thinks i'm a moron and i'm never going to make more than minimum wage. oh shit what kind of tomato is this...."

anyway. my feet aren't pounding in my ears and my bones dont crunch when i walk like they did after work on wednesday, and i am crediting the docs. Of course. I should have known....bouncing soles n' all.

Okay, a quick catch up. because i have been not returning emails & phone calls, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i literally do NOT have TIME..... it's very weird and i am not used to it and i am still trying to figure out a good routine or a system or something, as of now i have been using the tested and true "chaotic freak out mode" and it is not proving to be that effective. so next week (haha) i should have my shit together.

now as for that Beastie Boys thing... as if i could really just leave it at that. i'm going to the show, it's on on on. i got the plane ticket yesterday.

i love my tatoo.

happy birthday stacy. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
