New Leaves

.... Ah, you think yer so prettee eeeeeeeee eeeeeee eeee

That's a line from the most excellent song "Laid" by James. That song is an instant mood lifter. It is near impossible to listen to that song and stay still. It's a kick-your-feet-and-don't-care-if-you-are-dancing-like-a-white-boy song.
Yes, I definately needed a mood lifter because, lately a lot of people are being arses.

At work, this dude had to start my day with a story about how he hit a deer a while ago. And he was telling the story like it was a funny story. Despite the fact that I asked him to not tell the story, and that I was seriously not interested in hearing it. He had to go on about how it was a baby deer, and it's gruesome demise. Then, when he inquired why I stopped talking to him, I told him very straightly, "I was really serious when I said that I did not want to hear the rest of the story." Then, it was a joke that I was sensitive to it.

Fuckers. It brought tears to my eyes and that sting in my nose.

Last week, my father in law caught three crabs and cooked them. I happened in the kitchen while he was shoving one of them in the pot and it refused to go in.

Lovely.

So, what did I do? I went to my room and cried. Some people might think that was stupid, but, fuck that. I love my sister in law, she was so awesome about it, she said that she would have probably cried too if she would have seen that. And she INSISTED that the crabs be covered on the table so that we didn't have to look at them.

This isn't out of context for me. In Amsterdam, I covered up the crawdad that was steamed and put on my plate as a garnish. That still disgusts me. That crawdad died to be a garnish. Gross.

Well, anyways, I was running around the store today and just being sorta here and there despite the fact I was trying to learn a new position. And I hate leaving a comfort zone to learn a new position. We were understaffed today because two people quit, and people who came in were being assholes. I can understand a little bit of their reasoning, but they were clueless. Just because I'm in uniform, doesn't mean that you can tell me what to do. In fact, I just might be the person you DON'T want to talk to.

On a lighter note, I cut my hair while I was on vacation. Right up to the shoulders. I was tired of it causing me grief. And it was definately causing me anguish as I brushed it and watched it thin. Not to mention that it just didn't look healthy unless there was a ton of hair stuff on it. I am still trying to adjust. I like the functionality of shorter hair, but I do miss long hair. But it's really a big hassle for me.

Well, this is longer than I had thought to write. I am still trying to catch up all the things around here because Scotland is only about a month away and I have things that can't be left undone. Nothing serious, just organizational stuff.

Tomorrow is another day. And I'll be thankful for that.

love ya
