Thoughts of the Day
Apr. 30th, 2008 04:44 pmStarbucks: definition – a study in irony where persons are forced to make complicated decisions of chemical composition and moral path… before they drink their morning cuppa.
Final grades and GPA for the semester is in. 3.80 for 2008 Spring, 3.73 overall. Allow my ego a moment of booyah.
I’ve picked up three full days of work over my half days to cover for one of my coworkers who’ll be out sick until next-next Monday. Not cutting short my upcoming vacation by any means at all, but still… departing the retail employment life is still near enough behind me that I can cling to the mentality of more hours equaling more money equaling kickass.
Thing is, though, I feel kinda weird that surrounding my snagged hours, the biggest gossip of the office this afternoon was that my coworker is out for reason of shingles. Not belittling need of a sick day but… biggest gossip. In my office. Is pertaining to shingles. Good lord but I feel like a young whippersnapper.
Parting thought of a little more humour… passing by Chapters gave me a glance at some current political/news/whatever magazine. It could have been TIME, it could have been some periodical that gets printed once every four months, I don’t know. The cover itself was a split image of the current Democratic party leadership candidates, left and right… with the headline proclaiming “THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.”
I don’t know about you, but “Princes of the Universe” started ringing in my head, and I was laughing myself to hiccups all the way to the bus.
And to home. Allons-y.
