I've been at this job for 2 years, and I find it amazing that pretty much everyday there's something new to laugh about. Granted, a lot of that comes from people being weird. That helps add ammunition.
But, occasionally, you can come up with a new joke you somehow didn't think of before.
Like, for someone old. "You know, he's so old that his artificial hip is made of wood." Comes close to the zinger of "He's so old, he went to the doctor, and they decided to run some tests including carbon dating."
I eat so much cereal sometimes that I nearly anchor myself to the couch. I've been loving cereal for years now, too. I eat the same thing every day for a few months in a row. But cereal is a constant. Lately, I've just been eating soup with hotsauce mixed in. I'm satisfied.
I think I've had my habit of switching my work wallpaper every day for atleast 6 months now. I think it's step 4 in my morning routine.
Today was cool because one of the older, higher up dudes at work had stuck his money in the vending machine but then his kit-kat bar had gotten stuck. I was more than happy to help him with my "lift-and-slam" vending machine fixing technique.
I think a vending machine is capitalism gone haywire. It represents the worst of human greed. I have a product, but I won't even bother to stand here and sell it to you. I'll just lock it up, hike up the price, and come back every so often to collect my money.
But you know what, we fall for it. I'm reminded of when I lived at the Extended-Stay Hotel for over a year (all of which is chronicled herein) and someone had robbed the vending machine downstairs. I was simultaneously scared, but also a bit glad that some vigilante out there was taking a stand.
I just realized that I downloaded "No Rain" by Blind Melon over 10 years ago. I can tell because of the file date on the MP3. I actually remember that night very vividly. I think it was a Friday night and this dude Coach Hooper was over at our house. I was glad I finally found this MP3 and it took like 45 minutes to download (atleast) and I was pumped when it finished. Those were the days that if a download stopped, you were done. I thought the song was old then, but it's loads older now.
I look back at my younger days now almost as a story than as a memory. For the most part, I can feel almost no link to myself as a person then. I can't even get into my old mindset most of the time. Don't understand what it was like to be in those shoes. Whenever I think about how I ran lights for theatre and stupid dance shows for a year during highschool, it seems like a dream.
I'd like to see what cereal looks like sitting in a stomach. It must just look like cereal floating in milk for a while. I need to research how digestion works.
