I just want your touch, your company

So, 1.11 is finally out, and everyone's having issues getting it.

Good times.

Looks like I've got about another forty-five minutes before I get to join in on the fun. LHC is going to be an absolute bloodbath. Well... they're supposed to be adding in guards similar to the Cenarion Stronghold in Silithus. EPL is going to be an absolute bloodbath, however. A lot of the new items look pretty cool, though, even the ones obtainable outside of Naxxramas, which I doubt I'll ever get to see. Well, before the expansion, anyway. It's going to be a pain in the butt being an Arcanite Transmuter, however, until the market on Arcane crystals normalizes back out.

Work hasn't been that bad lately. Turned in my form for vacation, which Gina approved; we just have to see if Eileen and Mike do so as well. I really, really hope they do. I mean, I've earned it - it's a reward for having worked there for an entire year. Oh, wow. Today is exactly one year. Good times. Got a phone audit, accidentally said 'poop' in front of her. I asked her what toppings she wanted, I swear she said "Pepperoni, cheese, and, um, lemme go ask my sister real quick.' But no. She said 'pepperoni, cheese, and mushroom.' I have no idea how I made that error. But she called back to tell me it was a phone audit, then told me I got a 90, so I didn't do *that* badly. Closed Saturday night, had to go in early Sunday morning to go get wings so we didn't run out - we sold over 50 on Saturday, for whatever reason. I got there a little after 10; I wanted to wait a bit, so I wouldn't be in the way or anything. I get there at 10:15 or so, Travis is sitting out in his truck. Turns out no one was there yet. I had looked at the schedule last night, I knew Gina was supposed to be opening. I called her, woke her up; she thought she was closing, but I made sure she knew that no, she was supposed to be opening. She told me to open the store up, get everything put together, she'd be there as soon as she could.

So I'm running around in my t-shirt and sandals, getting the makeline stocked up, sauce out, all that good stuff. I mean, I washed my hands really well and all, but it still felt a little weird. We even had one order, a single cheese pizza, that Travis took. He passed Gina on the way out. She came in, told me about Taylor's birthday party the day before. I went to Seguin, got wings, and came home. Then woke up at like 5:20 to my phone ringing. Gina's calling to find out where I am. Her words: "This is one time I can probably cut you a little leniency on being late, since you were here this morning covering my ass and all." Sunday night was okay, got kinda slow and had three drivers closing, since it was Kyle's second training closing shift. I was done with Sunday night paperwork about 3. Well... not really. I could have been done by 3, but Jess was running a little behind, so I took a 10 minute break, dragged a chair outside and just kind of chilled for a little bit. She showed up eventually, gave me Seguin's paperwork. I went home first, chilled out, then drove to San Antonio to drop it off. I HATE having to do that. It annoys the FUCK out of me.

But yeah, I was getting pretty tired on the drive home. It was about six am when I got back, maybe a little later. That, and I'd been driving almost the last two hours straight, and driving long periods makes me sleepy. I was really hungry, though, so I decided to go to Jack in the Box and grab some breakfast real quick. That, and they have orange juice, which was an exciting prospect. So I pull in, order, and drive up to the window. The girl manning the window was SO CUTE. Oh. My. God. She handed me my orange juice, I gave her payment, she gave me my change. As I was turning to put the change in the passenger side handrest, I just dropped it all over the cab. I'm still trying to figure that one out - I was tired, but I wasn't *that* tired, especially since I had finally been able to stop driving and talk to someone (albeit for not that long.) So yeah, I think it was a combination of being really tired (not much) and her being so attractive (mostly) that made me spill my change everywhere. I guess they had to do everything fresh, 'cause it took a while for my stuff. I mean, not overly long, just a little longer than usual. I'm not complaining or anything. But yeah, the girl was looking at me weird. I figure it was probably 'cause I was probably looking at her weird, 'cause I was mesmerized.

[Quick note: Work just called, wanting me to go to San Antonio to pick some stuff up, since the truck is going to be six hours late. Oh joy. I HATE driving long distances like this. I really, really hate it. Gawd, I can't wait to be out of this position.]

But yeah, she apologized for it taking so long, and I was off.

Last night, I went to Mom's to do laundry. I got to meet her new fling, Billy McAllister. He's... okay, I guess. Not weird, like Doug. Kinda quiet, reminds me a little too much of Mr. Becak. That's not a terribly bad thing, just a little weird. We watched 'The Island', a remake of the atrocious 'Parts: The Clonus Horror'. It wasn't that bad, almost passable. I did have to deal with them cuddling up, though, which was kinda weird. Mom also told me that she was having some issues with Janelle's new boyfriend being black. I mean, it caught me off guard, but I don't really care. Mom's older though, and inter-racial dating is something that was frowned upon back then, especially since she was raised by her grandmother, who taught her something like 'The birds all come to the same feeder to feed, and go to the same birdbath to bathe, but then they all go back to their own nests.' So she's definitely against racism, segragation, and discrimination, it's just this one aspect she's having trouble with. And she was telling me that she knows it's a bad thing that she's having trouble coping with it, so that's good.

But anyway.

Went by work after that to say hey to Ashley, who actually had a few questions for me, so that turned out well. I drove by Jack in the Box to get an orange soda, and sure enough, that girl was working the drive through again. I forgot my change, but went back, and Ashley told me she wanted an orange soda, so I went right back and got her one as well. The girl (who I would later find out is named 'Rebecca') was like, "Weren't you just here? And you forgot your change." I told her that yeah, I was, and that I got back and my friend was like, "I want an orange soda too."

Touching. Really.

So, yeah, there it is.

'Cause the girl that you know
Is not who I am
