Sweaterz

"HeeeEeeeeY"
A lovely woman named Theresa gave me a couple sweaters recently - people are darling!

I'm attempting to pin down some lyrics for this track:



It's not always easy, or ever easy. Either it's difficult to put something into words, or it was difficult before putting it into words.

Tomorrow I start training for a new job at a call center, just answering billing questions and taking payments and doing stuff in peoples accounts and hopefully rising to the top of the company and smoking cigars and owning a sports team or whatever. Can you own a tennis player? It's just a one person team and seems somehow wrong, doesn't it? I guess I should at least TRY to own a tennis player one day.

Tuesday was my last day at a temporary job helping at a voter service and polling center as a supervisor. It was actually quite exciting being in a position like that, my team was fantastic and I was able to connect with all of them - they seemed to appreciate my temperament too. I'd like to thank my dad for the natural leadership abilities, he ran a business and lead a team of workers excellently. You certainly cannot demand respect from people, but it will come when they see your impressive work ethic and the pride you take in a job well done. When it becomes hectic or there are setbacks, solutions are there. We ran out of a form and someone went and made copies. We had huge crowds and got them all taken care of. I saw someone getting worn out and gave them a more manageable task. All with a smile because that junk was FUN and no one was even close to dying so there was nothing to freak out about. A couple of friends came in to vote too. A familiar face is such a delight!

Open mic night on Monday was also really fun, I laughed heartily when Oshee stood with the mic stand oddly dragging between his legs. I received a copy of an experimental spoken-word recording from Brandon. Matt can improvise so flawlessly when a heckler arises. Sarah is an amazing poet that gets on stage and delivers hilarious one-liners. Dude with a moustache poured his cringey heart out. George did weird stuff (very well!) What a night. I'm determined to perform next time. Therapy yesterday was great too - the last few minutes were spent gushing over Tim & Eric. Haha.

Goin' Noh Ware

Today started out great. Really nice;) *wink* I'm just feelin' good lately. EVEN THOUGH the red M&M in the stairwell at work is gone - you see I would make it a point to smile as big as I could whenever I saw it. Training myself to look happy might make me be happy, right? ...now it's gone. Perhaps it knew it's work was done. Perhaps someone got sick of seeing it. Perhaps someone saw it for the first time and figured it didn't belong there. Perhaps someone accidentally kicked it away and it's hidden in a crack somewhere. Perhaps someone/thing ate it. 

Molly, mother of Madonna this is one heck of a live performance:


It makes me want to say "I miss the 90's" but honestly, I can watch this whenever I want on YouTube on a phone wherever there's a signal and I don't have to live in FL with my parents. So nah, I don't miss the 90's.

Here's the new episode of Giggle Turdman!!! I know you've been waiting so patiently, you're so good and I'm in a spicy mood. It's Friday! 


Stay tuned for an episode that's EVEN LONGER!
