i'm like that scratched record that just keeps going to the same worn way, same worn way, though that is not the way one is supposed to go. what can i say?
i'm eating a big fat piece of bacon, not torched like i make them. the ex is actually cooking and we've had some semblance of peace. i guess because i'm leaving soon. it's easier for us not to hate each other openly.
i had a customer bring me three versions of his christmas cd. a very nice man, turned me on to some blues eariler in the year. jazz, actually. this compilation i'm listening to is blues. but he came in yesterday, twice actually, and was stunned i hadn't gotten to them. i apologized and said i'd get to it right away. so that is what i'm doing today.
my only day off since christmas which i spent asleep. all my days have been sleep, work, sleep work. i'm almost completely well, but i've been so tired. i think partial health takes more of a toll on me than complete illness. if that makes any sense. but we're all battling stuff at work, and there you have it.
think i got sick twice this year, so that's not too bad.
but at midnight, or when i finally got my phone back, my girl called my sissy at midnight (a tradition of sorts). i popped it open and stared at the picture i have stored there. i've stopped looking at it every day. stopped trying to stare it into reality. it's frozen in stone, apparenly.
but i get these customers, and just look them over. mostly stare at their faces and try to make them you, but they are not. they are just them. and i can't hold that against them. it is what it is.
a couple young guys whom i enjoy came in yesterday and in the blathering on, i was in a very good mood, one asked if i had plans to drink tonight, and i said something about being a lush, not social. and laughed. one of them was chuckling, the other was lost in his thoughts, and i'm laughing at what i'm saying. then i tell them it's the perfect night to off someone if they shoot guns like they do in LA. (which they don't, so it blows that idea).
they left with me saying,
don't be on my bad side on the fourth of july or new year's when i'm packing heat!and they laughed.
because i think sometimes, when you have a weird experience, it makes it interesting. i think our customers come back for these strange experiences just as much as the coffee. we are a collection of weirdos at my store. (probably at every store of the same type).
it was a good day. we were slow in the store, but i got most of the new promotion up. since i was selling it out of the cabinets last night, my boss said,
go for it(and partly, i think so he didn't have to do it ;) i understand how it works.
this is a pretty decent collection of music. it's fun. i like that. i need fun.
peace. out.
oh, i forgot to tell you my resolution: dance every dance.
when i discussed this with customers yesterday, they left saying,
now i'm going to have to give it some thought, and i'll let you know!so i look forward to that. i spend a lot of time (apparently) thinking of these things. they just don't come to me the day before. usually about a month or so before.
anyway, peace.
