Day 606
Day six hundred
six
June 29, 2014: So, I am evil.
Abi is finally reading the last book to my Once
Upon trilogy. She hasn’t finished it yet, but there are kind of two
endings. There is the ending when all of the action is done, and then there is
the epilog set a few years into the future. You know that device. When the
pre-epilog ending is kind of abrupt. All the main problems are cleared up but
you still feel a decided lack of closer. It is particularly bad with this one
because I kind of pulled a Goldman type ending by introducing new complications
right at the end it. Yeah. Well I took out the epilog, so the ending still
makes sense, but it will be frustrating.

Days 586-605
Day five hundred
eighty-six
June 9, 2014: Abi really wants
to watch The Lord of the Rings.
Day five hundred
eighty-seven
June 10, 2014: Started a new
yoga/strength training video set. Yeah. I’m feeling it. It’s been a while since
I have actually been this sore. I would say it was a good sore, only I am not a
crazy liar. Well, I am a crazy liar, but not about exercise feeling good. I
will admit, after a long time without exercising, I just don’t feel as good all
around.
Day five hundred
eighty-eight
June 11, 2014: That’s it, I’m
moving to Sparta.
Day five hundred
eighty-nine
June 12, 2014: I have
officially decided that “at” is my least favorite word ever. It wide spread and
to be honest repetitious use as cast a bad light upon all sentences ending in
prepositions.
Day five hundred
ninety
June 13, 2014: This post does
not actually exist due to superstition.
Day five hundred
ninety-one
June 14, 2014: Happy fake
birthday to Katy.
Day five hundred
ninety-two
June 15, 2014: I wonder when
my streak of Sunday’s off is going to end.
Day five hundred
ninety-three
June 16, 2014: Happy real
birthday to me. Turned 21. Though there was no celebration. That will happen
later in the week. Life is too busy and crazy right now to actually do it on
the day.
Day five hundred
ninety-four
June 17, 2014: There is
nothing left in life but to wonder upon existence.
Day five hundred
ninety-five
June 18, 2014: Happy real
birthday to Katy and happy second birthday to me. Went out to dinner, got the
least alcoholic tasting alcoholic drink available and opened presents.
Day five hundred
ninety-six
June 19, 2014: This and
Saturday are the only days I am working this week. Probably because I don’t get
credit apps. In fact a bunch of new people are being hired just so the credit
app slackers can be given fewer hours. This isn’t speculation. The boss man
said as much. His exact words were, “I’m going to start interviewing at least a
couple people a week. We can’t afford to have people not reaching our goals.”
Day five hundred ninety-seven
June 20, 2014: Watched the
first The Lord of the Rings movie with the kids. They all thought the talking
parts were boring, especially since I was shushing them.
Day five hundred
ninety-eight
June 21, 2014: Today was not
the best of days.
Day five hundred
ninety-nine
June 22, 2014: I don’t know
where the time went today.
Day six hundred
June 23, 2014: My kindle
arrived today. Happy third birthday to me. I set it all up, downloaded some
public domain books on it, and then ate my cake.
Day six hundred
one
June 24, 2014: Got three
credit apps today. Once upon a time that would have made me happy, but now the
next time I go to work the boss will be all over me telling me to do that well
again and congratulation me and acting like I freakin’ found the cure for
cancer and have helped the company more than I ever have, just by convincing
three people to go into debt. I think almost more than the incessant drive is
the almost manic fondling of the people who do get credit apps. Tell me “good
job” or better yet a simple “thanks” once and none of this obsessive, forced
praise.
Day six hundred
two
June 25, 2014: I am not sure
when I began The Wheel of Time series, but now I am done. There is something
sad about that. I have been reading that series for a long time, over several
months now, often reading a couple shorter books between each one. It’s been a
story I have been with for so long, reading the very last words felt a little
strange. Also, the 1979, animated, Warner Brothers’ version of The Lord of the
Rings is trippy. Aragorn is Native American, I can live with that. Boromir is a
Viking, that can be dealt with. Gimli is only like a foot shorter than Legolas,
that fact makes me wince but I can understand that it was low budget. But why,
dear Lord, are none of the human men wearing pants? The elves, hobbits, and
dwarves get to wear pants, why not the humans?
Day six hundred
three
June 26, 2014: So at JCP today
there was this guy that looked exactly like my brother-in-law Shawn, only he
was African-American. So it was a little weird actually, because Shawn in
really white, but this really black guy and he look so much alike. They kind of
even act the same.
Day six hundred
four
June 27, 2014: Watched The Two
Towers today. There were a couple of times when Colleen and Jacob had to turn
their faces away…in disgust because they don’t like smooching. Aragorn and Arwen
sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.
Day six hundred
five
June 28, 2014: I really wish
people would just read small print so they would stop yelling at me about how
items are priced incorrectly.
Sunday, June 8, 2014
Days 583-585
Day five hundred
eighty-three
June 6, 2014: People need to
stop telling me to have a good weekend. Dude, I work retail, I am lucky if I
have one day of the weekend off.
Day five hundred
eighty-four
June 7, 2014: Coupons don’t
work with doorbusters. It’s not my fault, don’t lecture me for the next five
minutes how that is dishonest and manipulative on the part of the store. Look,
yes, it is manipulative, but it’s not like a gun was held to your head to shop,
and it’s not like I am making you purchase the items.
Day five hundred
eighty-five
June 8, 2014: Much needed day
off. Work has been particularly stressful lately, if you haven’t been able to
tell. So I am not sure if I should be happy or sad that the next few weeks I
only work three days a week.
Thursday, June 5, 2014
Day 582
Day five hundred
eighty-two
June 5, 2014: To be honest, what I really want right now
is to go to sleep. I have been fine all day but I was suddenly was hit with the
tired stick.
Wednesday, June 4, 2014
Days 580-581
Day five hundred
eighty
June 3, 2014: I am typing this
in Dvorak. To be honest I am surprised by how well I remember how to type this
way. It has been a long time.
Day five hundred
eighty-one
June 4, 2014: Well after three
weeks of being cast into kids I finally had another shift in men’s. It was a
slow day, don’t get me wrong, Wednesday is always slow, but it was positively hopping
compared to men’s.
Monday, June 2, 2014
Day 579
Day five hundred
seventy-nine
June 2, 2014: My hair looks
great. Quite frankly the hairdresser didn’t do anything too freaky. I was
expecting some punk hair due but he basically gave a better styled and cut version
of what I already had. And why do I manage to always pick a scent from Bath and
Body Works the year they are planning on phasing it out? I don’t mean to, it
just happens.
Sunday, June 1, 2014
Day 578
Day five hundred
seventy-eight
June 1, 2014: Getting my hair
cut and highlighted at JCP tomorrow. I am nervous,
to say the least. I said the hair dresser could do whatever he wanted, and now I am kind of
freaking out. I fear he is going to use the clippers on me.
