Today I got paid and was a real staff member! Someone called out and I got to take her place and it was excellent. It was a little stressful...my supervisor, about whose sanity I occasionally have doubts, thought "Ah, Allison has been CPI trained for a day! She should be our crisis staff!" Luckily I didn't get called anywhere. I was scared ( Read more... )

ALL THAT I DO NOT WANT TO DO IN LIFE RIGHT NOW IS SUMMED UP IN MY DISDAIN AND HATRED OF THE TASK I MUST NOW PERFORM.
Goddamn, I hate exercising.

PS, my uncle's house is going to be used in a few scenes from a new Brad Pitt movie called "The Diary of Jesse James" or something. Random!

Today I was walking along the road with my dad, and I saw a parking meter (with a car parked at it) taht had expired. Naturally, I took out a quarter and added an extra 30 minutes to the meter. My dad flipped out about how nice I was... he is sometimes very odd. When expending a quarter to prevent someone else from paying a $25 dollar fine is ( Read more... )

I continue with my long-time trend of having summer reading that is not really Summer Reading. As in, I read literature (generally) and not "Single Nanny Adventures 3: The case of the missing Prada" Which is not to say that those books aren't fun. They are. However, I do not prefer them ( Read more... )

Maybe it's because I went to bed late last night, in a bad mood, or maybe it's because I woke up to strange men putting awnings on my windows (WHAT???). (On that subject, WHY??? What could possibly be necessary about awnings?) I'm just in the weirdest emotional mood today. I'm totally closed off to everyone I speak to. That's probably because ( Read more... )

Today I worked. It was good and also bda. We got a fantastic intake and a slightly obnoxious intake. Our most difficult girl was a dream and an ordinarily manageable girl was less so ( Read more... )

MIT's Sloane business school is wooing my brother. I find that amusing. I find the idea of my brother at MIT amusing. I find their sychophantic letters amusing. Mostly I think it's amusing that my brother is planning on applying and telling them that he'll only go if they offer him a free ride, since Clark is. I don't think they want him THAT ( Read more... )

Today was a weird day. It was very... raw. I can't think of a better way to put it. I went on a walk with my mother to buy dinner stuff at Idylwilde and I was just overwhelmed at the beauty of the flowers and the produce. I know that sounds stupid, but i was standing there looking at the perfectly layered tomatos and the beautifully tumbling ( Read more... )

It has occurred to me that I am not a lot of things that I think I am, and I am a lot of things that I think I am not. For example, I'm not as abstract-random and spacy as I think I am. I make lists and am not often late for things. My dad says I'm "calculated" in my randomness, which is probably true ( Read more... )
