so my job? pretty cool. today i watched 18,000 episodes of jeopardy and press your luck. also, there was this couple on the newlywed game (why isn’t that still on the air?) that had matching afros. the first day i had to make a hardware decision. picture me trying to decide between a macbook pro and a mac pro with a cinema display. POOR ME.
the commute isn’t as bad as i expected. driving along at 70 miles per hour past gigantic semis is always fun at 8:00 in the morning. i eat granola bars, drink green tea, listen to david sedaris recount his childhood stories. marques made me an excellent mix cd for my first day, full of songs by david bowie, elton john, earth wind and fire, and other artists that are very upbeat.
today, i drove home on route 60 because the sun was setting and i love route 60. while i was going over the culloden bridge, i saw this man throw his daughter in the air and catch her. it was amazing. i thought he would drop her.
i also bought waylon a harness today. i have plans to take him outside for some rolling around in the grass and chasing birds. he flipped out, though, and tried to bite the harness off of him. maybe he will realize that harness equals outside, and will grow to love his restraints.
i ate really well today. on the way to work i had a granola bar. when i got to work, i had a yogurt. for lunch i ate some baked cheetos and a turkey sandwich on wheat. i had an apple in my bag in case i got hungry, but i didn’t. and then, i got back to huntington, and stupid marques wanted to go to stewart’s hot dogs and i had two hot dogs with a cookie dough milkshake. my boyfriend loves me even when i eat poorly. he ate poorly, too, though.
i miss him during the nights. it is very weird to fall asleep without another body next to me. however, i’m pretty sure that when the weekend rolls around, we will just stay in bed together all day because we missed it so much.
You’ll get into the swing soon. Can you knit at work when it’s quiet there?
Ashley, aren’t you driving to Hamlin? I’ve driven from Hamlin to Huntington and back to Hamlin approximately 5,000 times in my life and I can’t figure out why you’d be going across the Culloden bridge.
let me know if you want some better directions. lol. and by the way, can’t wait to read the Lincoln Standard!
hahaha. shut up erick. i don’t like to drive on the interstate. so when i have some extra time, i drive on rt. 60, hop on corridor g, and go that way. the offices aren’t exactly IN hamlin, they’re in alum creek, near hamlin. on coal river rd.
when you read the lincoln standard, pay special attention to the ads.
dix, i’ll be pretty busy once we get our internet back up, so maybe knitting, but not a lot of it.
Ooooooooooooooo, ok. I was a little worried about you driving really far out of the way. lol.
