Just finished my fourth day at Capella. I'm trying to do the math here, nearly four months at an average of thirty days a month of unemployment means (3.7x30x24) 2664 hours of doing nothing but sitting on my 'rhoid ridden rear, drinking Oly, spending quality time with the old lady & in general pissing about. Now four days residency in jobville has cost me somewhere around 40+ hours out of the 96 alloted. Ouch. That's like going straight from sitting on the sofa, eating Häagen-Dazs & playing video games all day to competing in the Iron Man. Or like doing a twenty minute keg stand after two years on the wagon. & yes, that keg is full of southern whiskey.
Day one: My insatiable appetite for all things Manly was quenched when the majority of my four hours on the job was spent power washing inanimate objects in the blazing sun. & yes, I was thinking of breasts the whole time.
Day two: Spent the a good nine hours working. But these nine hours were spent at home! & this wasn't some envelope licking, heavy breathing kind of at home gig either, no sir, I spent the day in my living room, with the windows & door open, working on my computer, creating signage for the produce department. But most importantly I was at home, getting paid, the american dream. & yes, I was thinking of cocaine the whole time.
Day three: a couple hours at home, working on the comp. Then off to the office where I spent another eight hours in front of a computer, learning some pointers about the POS system we are running & creating excel sheet after excel sheet. & yes, I was thinking about how excel sheets aren't very much fun & about how it was saturday & how two decades ago I would've been watching cartoons & playing with my My Little Pony's.
Day four: (much more important than work: I had a nice long morning with Aliza, which is rare. ((The frequency of it is rare, not the nice part)) We laid in our makeshift bed in the living room, eating pastries & drinking coffee. Which also reminds me that now, nearly 17 hours later, still all I've eaten is some pastries & some coffee.) Started plugging away at it from home around ten. Went to Capella noonish & left at 6.30, only to return at 8.00 where I stayed until midnight, so I'm going to bed.
