I Enjoy Being a Girl Vol 2! — Page 171

Okay, I am scheduled for 30 hours at work pre christmas.... I had today off but now I have a head/neck ache that is threatening to be a doozy and just a general icky feeling... do I call in or go in and hope and pray that this isn't one of my debilitating migraines? I might be able to handle work if it's not claustrophobia-causing busy... but add feeling claustrophobic on to my list and I will be a mess!

So, I am going to work today... my head still kinda hurts but I think the snow is going to keep things calm until after 5pm (and I get off at 6 so an hour of crazy I can handle).

In other news the boy wrote on my facebook wall this morning saying that he found a HAIR station on yahoo that I might enjoy. It made me smile because A) it shows that he's been paying attention, and B) He's conservative republican so HAIR really isn't his bag but he knows that I am kinda a liberal hippie and he seems to be respectful of that (PS if I am not FB friends with any of y'all PM me and I'll tell ya how to find me :-P )

Yay!!! That is exciting Maisie!! Congrats!

Congrats Mais!! :)

So you know how facebook stalking was mentioned earlier? Yesterday, someone commented on my girl's status. And just out of curiousity I clicked to see his profile. He's one of her fellow soldiers and I guess just seeing the people she's over there with helps me put together her world in my mind a little. Anyway...turns out he's from the city I went to college in and where my parents live now and we have four mutual friends, including my second cousin! How nuts right? I wanna tell her just to be like Wooooah small world right? Buuuut then I might just look like a stalker. So...I think I'm not gonna say anything. But I WANT to! haha

Yay for you Maisie!! :)

Why can't I find a boy to care for me like Luscious does for her girl?

Congrats Maisie.

Kels, continue to stalk. It is really a harmless endeavor on FB. And I would say him liking Hair is major.

So I FINALLY got to come home today! Ahhh, I'm so ready to try & relax into this holiday/vacation spirit.
I've been so hectically busy today that I Totally didn't even realize I'd been on the board today, I thought that was Yesterday!!!
It was already 10:30 when I got home so most everybody was ready for sleep because they're crazies.
But, my brother Did surprise me with my present that came in the mail so I finally got to see my Rock of Ages calendar <3 Apparently he wasn't sneaky enough to get it past my mother who apparently had a less pleasant reaction than I would have expected.

Can't wait to experience my first full day back in the house, haha.

Or sedatives. If one of you is unconscious, then you can't fail to have a trouble-free journey. ;D

I second Jazzy though. My iPod is my best friend on pretty much any journey I ever take. :3

Speaking of my iPod, have any of you ladies ever found yourself irrationally fixated on a TV show aimed at really young children? I started watching Imagination Movers a couple of weeks ago, and for some deranged reason, I just can't get enough of it! I have Mover-related dreams, I quite enjoy having the songs on my iPod, and I'm seriously considering a Mover costume for next Hallowe'en (although it's a long way off and I have several other costume ideas under consideration). Is this bad? D:

From time to time I still watch the re-runs of Arthur on PBS.

OK a lot of strange things happened around my work yesterday.

A woman comes in a quarter to one and asks for a $7 cup of yellow tail wine. I give it to her but am a bit perplexed how early it is and given our movie times she would likely miss the beginning of her feature- or so I thought. She finishes her drink and goes to the bathroom around the same time I do cleaning. She seems buzzed as she praises my 'good job', but I still thank her. I see her leave the movie theatre. I ask my other co-worker if she really just came her to just have a sip of wine and he said, "Yeah she comes here once a week."

A guy orders coffee and when I give it to him he complains it is too thin and gives me the stink eye. Keep in mind the coffeemaker is right in front of him and that all the power I have it sticking the packet in. I tell him if he was interested in putting sugar and cream in as it is right in front of him and he raises his voice "NO! I want it black. This- this is just not good at all." He gets his money back. This is earlier than wine lady and who gets coffee at a movie theatre? Maybe, just maybe, green mountain organic coffee is not his cup of joe.

When I am cleaning popcorn littering the halls this woman comes out of the showing of Avatar and complains to me over how unbelievable these grown men are in the upper floor of the theater. She came with about four little boys (sons and friends I assume) and she told me that there were just single seats and she needed at least two seats together to keep solace that one of her boys had a companion next to them. She asked if the patches of older men sitting in the seats would move just one seat over to have her boys sit together. She complains that they looked at her as if she had three heads and they had to sit in the lower seats on the floor. I asked her if she had any issues with her seats there and she tells me, "Well, the optimum experience of a 3-D movie is sitting higher where we originally wanted to sit." I asked her if she wanted me to do anything. She said, "Oh no", and went back into the theatre. So she basically vented the closest possible employee of the theatre, me, over the behavior of other adults over seating in our busiest movie. 5 minutes I will never get back.

Outside our theatre there was a guy carrying a wooden cross replicant. Why is a symbol of Jesus' crucifixion being used on the day of his birth? Then it all came full circle. My co-worker yells 'WHAT THE HELL!' when he sees this guy dragging a stuff figure of Santa Claus toward the Cross guy. Then another guy came with his cam-corder. It definitely made a scene. At least three people took photos of their camera phones and people went up and asked what the purpose of all of this was. This came when the Princess & The Frog was playing so I can imagine how some parents felt uncomfortable taking a pass when in their way of the theatre was a harmed Santa. They left together walking across the downtown area and an hour later they went across the other street. It was even creepier in the dark.

So I got work on X-Mas Eve and X-Mas Day. I wonder what's in store for me then.

Merry Christmas to the girls and honorary girls on IEBAG.
