So, there’s frequently this guy at the convenience store where I pick up my Cokes for work. He’s often there in the early morning, and he stands in the store talking loudly and incoherently to nobody at all. Sometimes he’ll stand near the counter, going on about something (something important to him, from his tone) and one of the clerks there will give me an apologetic grin… then he’ll wander outside and stand next to the pay phones for a while, all without pausing in his rambling.
He disturbs me. I try not to look directly at him.
That is all.
I have a lot of personal e-mail and LiveJournal commenting to catch up on. I keep thinking I’ll work on it in the evenings, but there always ends up being something else to do.
I could work on my commenting here from work, but my bosses expect me to work on these spec ads like they’re paying me or something.
Well, that concert I mentioned is Tuesday the 30th in Virginia Beach, so I wouldn’t possibly have been able to go anyway. It figures, ’cause I could easily have won the tickets this morning by identifying the three TV show themes.
I hope my sweetie feels better. raininva was not well last night, and not a lot better this morning. She says she’s going to leave work as soon as she can do so without penalty, which is good. Go home and rest, hun! I love you!
Just another froody Friday
Welcome, Dave (calandra) and Eric (epawtows), to yet another corner of cyberspace claimed by local fandom. Dave caused me a minor LiveJournal crisis this morning… I color code all my friends posts to the user… but I’d already used most of the workable combinations that had black backgrounds. Found another, though.
There’s a rushing sound in my left ear… it pulses in time to my heartbeat, so I have the feeling it’s related to blood flow… it gets worse when I move my head quickly, then subsides… it also gets louder when I’m agitated. I don’t know what it is, but it’s both worrying and annoying me. I should probably get checked for hypertension.
Missed lunch with the lovely raininva today ’cause I wasn’t watching the clock. It does mean I get to leave work earlier, since I’ll eat at my desk, but I hate missing time with her. It’s funny, but we both agree that even when we’re in separate rooms of our apartment, doing our own things, we’re more together than when one of us is there and the other’s off somewhere.
Sometimes my job amuses me
Here’s the ad I’m building right now:
“Viacream is a natural topical cream for women that enhances intimacy & sexual pleasure. Call (deleted) or email to: (deleted). Please specify amount of product desired. Product will ship within one week of receipt. Mention this ad and receive free audio cassette – Screaming women don?t lie anymore. Lexxus independent distributor”
Reminds me of the job of the main character in Sabrina Online – a naive graphic artist who ended up designing boxes for porn videos. Except I’m slightly less naive. Slightly.
Cel-e-brate Good Times, C’Mon!!
Rain got her promotion, Rain got her promotion, Rain got her promotion! I foresee more “Houses For Sale” magazines in my future (and I’m not complaining!)…
I hope my costume stuff arrives today, tomorrow at the latest… it’s not any stranger than we’ve seen at VTSFFC Halloween before, but that’s not saying much… well, I’ll get my reviews November 3rd 🙂
Rain got her promotion!
