Oddjob

It's been an up and down few days. Everyone knows how strongly I feel (about anything, I just have very strong emotional responses to almost everything) and has been very supportive. If I did not proudly wear my heart on my sleeve, I would be embarrassed by the last post being public(ish).

My parents are in town tonight to see a production. I'm going to catch up with them briefly. Hopefully I can talk to them about some pressing issues; there are several which require attention immediately. I also want their advice and, for the second time, to actually speak with them about relationships.

In more cheerful news, my first long day at work wasn't bad at all once I got used to getting randomly snowed on, freezing rained on, told my backbreaking labor wasn't good enough by the customer's fat, white trash girlfriend, not getting tipped a lot, and stiff knees. I had fun because the skeleton crew we were working was mostly comprised of managers who had senses of humor.

While on my break, I went over to Petsmart and played with the cats and dogs on display for the adoption Saturday event. I fell in love with a male cat, an American Gray named Joop. He was strikingly calm and good natured, liked to be held and was immediately trusting and loving. It's a shame that I can't adopt him. I do not have the money and I would get kicked out of my house for owning a pet anyway. That made me sad, but I'm still more happy to have been able to meet him. I'll go back on my breaks until someone chooses him (which may not be long. An old couple walked in while I was playing with him and they thought he was the best thing since sliced bread).

My parents are going to be here soon and I need to go do pushups, so I'll wrap up. I haven't eaten since 8:30am. There is Diversions dance practice tonight to gear up for our Dance Marathon performance. I'm excited, it's been a while and it's a great stress reliever. After that, Pierce's UGA friends will still be here and wanting to party. Who knows what tonight has in store.

Party at McCauley St tomorrow! GEAUX SAINTS!
