home for the holidays! hurrah. any annoying period in between playing zelda is usually punctuated by work.
finally getting to play zelda (and save) was glorious. like when you havent had a dr pepper in about a week and all your nerve endings are tingling for that sugary buzz...(guess what i'm craving). i love playing any zelda for the first time because i get to figure things out and take link on a new adventure. whats different this time is i havent looked up any spoilers so i have NO idea what's coming. no, don't tell me no no no no alalallalala not listening... zelda is so very very fun. especially all the weird minigames like sumo wrestling with gorons (you have to cheat to win: wear iron boots. ha. move me now, bitch.)
sometimes working is fun, like when you're helping confused dads buy presents for their kids and ANY knowledge is just scary, or when people ask YOU to try stuff on to see how it looks on someone who's 'about your size'. the employee discount aint bad either.
its not fun when someone sends you searching the store, the back room and other stores for something and then leaving while youre on the phone. or when you're working in the fitting room and you realize that the woman you helped a couple of minutes ago walked off with three pairs of pants. things like that are embarrasing and educational. as in all excerscises in futility, the thought that keeps you sane is that all this will have a big payoff. kind of like the afterlife. in no manner of selfless, tibetan monk kind of way am i working. this train of thought, however, is becoming creepily nihlist. so pause for a moment, dear reader, and know this. i better not have worked my face off smiling at confused and clueless holiday shoppers because of some phenomena known as christmas spirit. i'm helping hopeless people so i can help myself. specifically, i can help myself into my dream camera. all eleven hundred dollars of it. by no means will $9.25 an hour pay for that, but its a big chunk.
dang theres so much to write. but i'm lazy and i have to go wrap pressies.
peace out and holiday joy.
