hiii. i miss you guys. frown

so now that i'm employed, albeit rather unimpressively, i don't get to be the lazy internet vagabond that i used to. *sniff*

retail is less shitty than i remembered from two years ago, although standing for eight hours will give me chilblains before my time, i fear. it's basically my job to talk to this rockabilly hotrod-maker guy for 9 hours a day. today he brought in some vintage 50's jackets that he'd painted like the air force used to with pinup ladies saucily winking on the back.

and one of those simply excellent old guys--you know, the old guys who makes you actually stop and imagine how handsome and fascinating they must have been 50 years before--and they were laughing and joking about the jackets. "I bet you vaguely remember these..." etc. He looked really happy.

i should mention that on my first day of work, a drunken man from South Carolina who had obviously sustained a few genetic bruises on the evolutionary tree fell into a cabinet and knocked a metal dragon onto a smaller, less-metal dragon and broke it. Since i didn't feel like confronting Jed Clampett Jr., he didn't pay for it. Later that night my female co-worker's boyfriend was denied military leave, my hotrod co-workr's wife got fired, and i broke the store parrot's water bowl by dropping it like an ass, in the sink.

Day two was much better, as i was trained to sell the Kama Sutra goods in the side display.

Boy, day two does sound decidedly better. Good luck for day three...

I miss you too frown

I want to be a happy old man when I grow up. Maybe even a crazy old man who lives in the park and collects cans. At least I'd be happy. With the way the economy is going, I don't expect to retire rich. My only aspiration is to own a house by the time I retire so I can chase people away with a garbage can lid and baseball bat biggrin

I wanted to show you my sister's "Urban Renewal" project, sort of on the theme of your "Urban decay" pictures you posted back on 7/13, but she said I couldn’t post the pictures online. The pictures have evidently gone into the custody of the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission and she was asked not to post them publicly. frown

So many gorgeous new girls on the site, but secretly I’m vindictive because it’s not your new set. *sigh* The SG gods just don’t understand my need for Siv. *sobs*

Edited to fix a spelling error because I spell like Sheeee-ot.

Clearly I've been misinformed as to what your job was. Hmm. It is now plain to me that you work in a short story I haven't yet written. I must get to work soon.

"Excellent old guys"--I can't tell you how excited I am about the prospect of becoming one of those. I believe the key is avoiding golf shirts at all costs.

"Excellent old guy." That hits a little too close to home for me. How much is this rockabilly guy paying you to talk to him for 9 hours a day? You can't commute to Bklyn and work for me, can you? Oh well--I tried!

Sounds like the stuff you sell is interesting. And a parrot lives there. That is cool.

1st day sounded cursed. A store cleansing is in order. Firecrackers scare away evil spirits. And parrots.

Isn't it like seven years bad luck for breaking a parrot's water bowl?
