(Surprisingly) Not Dead Yet
So...in case you were wondering what I've been doing...the short answer is: working a lot. Also, sometimes I sleep and do laundry. The only other thing I've been doing on a regular basis is watching every episode of Buffy: the Vampire Slayer on DVD. I think it took me about 3 1/2 weeks, which is pretty ridiculous, considering that there's 7 seasons to go through. However, freak that I am, I couldn't wait for the next season, and I ended up returning stuff to the video store early, for once.
Also, on Saturday, I worked from 6:30 in the morning to about 4:30 Sunday morning (which was really 5:30--daylight savings), then I drove home, took a shower, changed my uniform, and came right back in. My district manager came in for at about 10:30 so I could go home and sleep, but I still ended up working for close to 30 hours straight. Naturally, I was about fifty kinds of wrecked by the time I got home, and I immediately went to sleep for about 13 hours. Then I woke up, watched some special features from the Lord of the Rings, and slept for about 6 more hours.
Tomorrow, I have to get up at a decent hour, because I have to get my car inspected (stupid of me to leave it till the end of the month, I know). I am not happy about that at all. But I'll live. Also, my back hurts a lot these days. And my hands. Wendy's is not good for me. But...they do owe me a week of vacation sometime soon. And I'm going to take it. I haven't had a vacation in over a year, and I could really use one (or three). Preferably one involving room service and a tall stack of books. But I'd settle for one bumming around my apartment and catching up on housework and errands.
On a random but positive note...I just found out that somebody I've been working with for months is gay. Shocked the hell out of me... little middle-aged Asian guy with some missing teeth. It's a funny world.
