hiii. i miss you guys. 
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.
