I'm not going to lie here: I've had better days. OK, so work is going fine and I really have nothing to complain about, except that I'm running the floor (literally) for an indefinite length of time with no indication of whether or not I should be filling up part of my summer with shifts in other departments or trips away from the hell of Vancouver during a minor heatwave (when people seem unable to both dress themselves [white socks with sandals? black socks with white shoes?] and use deoderising products on mass transit). My only real complaint is this retarded stuffiness in both my nose and my throat. It's not a cold. I'm not sick. Just... not well. I wanted to call in sick, but didn't because the lure of money was too great.
Things that make today more than tolerable despite my ongoing battle with a head congession situation (why, oh why didn't i stay on the Cold FX regiment? WHY?!):
1) The Candy Aisle opened a location mere blocks from my workplace. This means easy, effortless access to salt water taffy during any time of the day. You see how this could easily become a problem... It also means Curly Wurlys, Paydays, Whatchamacallits, TimTams and Violet Crunch within minutes. Unless I break my own legs to prevent myself from walking/running over there for candy runs.
2) I bought a pass to Music Waste. Sure, I was a little ripped off... It's being touted as being $15 and I paid $18 at Scratch. But it's still a fricking good deal to potentially see any number of the 40 bands playing over the 4 nights. And the pass itself is absolutely the coolest pass for anything that I've ever seen. You'll have to buy one. Then you, too, can wander the Downtown Eastside with me and possibly "the cutest boy in the world," the always awesome David Boffa (unless David has other people to wander around with while he's in town, which, let's face it, is always possible since he's a little social butterfly and knows more people here than I do, despite never living here).
3) Glinn!!! got CSS tickets, meaning ass-shaking next week. So exciting!
OK, off to poker class. This week: an introduction to no-limit online games!
