i fell asleep this morning at 1:00, only to awake at 4:30 a.m. i couldn't go back to sleep at all, so i called mom at work at 7:00 a.m., talked to her til 8:00, then talked to nana til 8:30. i watched divorce court and texas justice (the latter was very funny), received some ant poison from a maintenance man, went to the bank, went to wal-mart for fabric, went to toy joy for my birthday presents (i got to pick three things from a huge box! i got a pretty flower lamp and two other things i'm not tellin' cause i sent them to owen even though now i wish i'd kept them cause they were cool! (: ), mailed off owen's box-o-crap for his birthday, ate at maudie's and tcby with cat, and now i'm here at work. while i was sleeping on the couch for like 15 minutes, jennifer and cat had a conversation about curry, and now his name is spicy sweetness? it's a disturbing thought, so we'll abandon it for now.

mom called just now to see which a series of unfortunate events books i had because she was looking at them at sam's. "oh, i thought you were going to get the boxes?"
"well, yeah, but they've got 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9 in those sets."
"oh, yeah, i was just going to sell the ones i have now, one through five."
"if we get you these for christmas, would you give one through five to sarah?"
"oh yeah, duh, of course. she'll be able to read them."
"all right, then."

:jumps about: i'm getting all three! i just asked for two. :continues jumping:

:giggle: the other morning during the weather, gordon warned against tropical depression olaf. :gasp: i have to warn the baudelaires! (he's the villain in those books, count olaf.) normally i'd hang my head in shame, but i don't care. i love this queers song oodles, and i love that they're coming back. and i love those books. (:

i got my evaluation at work. needless to say they say i need to work on my customer service skills. ha. they say i have negative body language. after complaining for about five minutes to my mom about all the individual ratings and asking how my body language from the chest up (which is all the customers see) is upsetting them, she just said to smile more. and it said the dual messages sent by my negative body language yet positive actions cause misperceptions in the customers and coworkers. how the hell do they know this? i hang out with coworkers ocassionally, so they can't be that confused thankyouverymuch.

[if you haven't noticed, i don't take criticism very well. or at all.]

"i'm coming through the door, but they're expecting more of an interesting [wo]man. sometimes i think i can, but how much can i fake? i'll speak until i break. with every word i say, offend in every way. you tell me to relax and listen to these facts, that everyone's my friend and will be to the end. but know this much is true: no matter what i do, no matter what i say, offend in every way."
