First, to find out the color of my lj name (if I have one). derien (Got that from
daegaer - it's [font color="lj name"][b]lj name[/b][/font])
Funny - when people talk about movies they often mention what the people around them in the theatre were saying. I hardly ever notice anyone in the theatre talking. I wonder if that's because I'm too engrossed in the movie or because I live in Maine and people tend to just be quiet in movies, here.
I had to wash a lot of dishes before I could make supper (an ill-concieved attempt at cajun catfish nuggets - way too hot), and now I don't want to wash more. bleh. piles of dishes, again. I'm tired as all hell and must sleep.
I'm tired because I went out to Big Mama's going away party last night and had waaaay too much fun. It was 2:17AM when I got done throwing up and went to bed. I decided I had to be up by 7:30 and shower so as to take the car and get it inspected. Of course I woke up at 5:30, then at 6:30, then at 7:15... I felt a little queasy for a while, but around 10:15 I was able to have breakfast and then felt fine - or normal for me, at any rate.
Unfortunately, the car is STILL not inspected. What I got instead was yet another annoying experience with Forest City Chevrolet. They cling to their assertion that there's some sort of problem with my front brake rotors. I asked them to have a little chat with the car about why the "check engine" light keeps coming on, and they sucked up an hour of my time and then said the car didn't want to talk to them. They seemed unable to grasp the fact that when I say, "I need my car now, I need to go to work," I mean NOW. No, I really don't have the option of giving you a little more time, I need to be in my uniform at a specific time or I can be fired. Apparently my voice doesn't convey tension when I need it to. (And then when I try to get my voice to carry a little emphasis people whine that I'm yelling at them. Fine, whatever, just stand on the damn line where I told you to and divest your metals into the little tray - now.)
And, the appropo of nothing paragraph for the evening - I made the announcment that the checkpoint would be closing, this evening, and got much praise from people on how professional I sounded. Then I made the hand signal for heart palpitations, and got much teasing about being an adrenaline junky and making announcements to get my fix.:) I got teased a lot today, and AW was the primary culprit. I'm really going to miss her, she's so quick-witted and sharp tongued.
