Hangovers
I don't really get hangovers that often, but when I do get them, I find the best thing for me to do is not to sleep in all day and drink water. Sleep and rest is always good for you, but it's very gradual, and it's a waste of a day. Just last Sunday I had a hangover, and to be honest, I would have probably stayed in bed had it not been for the fact that I had to get to work by 11am. Getting up in the morning, however, is probably the best thing to do for a hangover. Why? Because of the Sausage and Egg McMuffin at McDonalds. It does wonders for my hangover, and has become so reliable, that I've incorporated it into my little hangover routine:
1) Drink a glass or two of water when you wake up.
2) Sausage and Egg McMuffin meal (get it with juice).
3) Gatorade.
4) Chicken nuggets for lunch.
Done and done! I was feeling much better by lunch time and I didn't have to stay in bed all day either. Win, win!
Cleaning House
I'm deleting some old posts that I don't like, and I'm also updating some things on my blog. I liked the "Open Air" template that I was using for a couple of days, but it didn't suit me or the feel for this blog. As much as I'd like to keep all the posts I've made (good and bad), I should make more of an effort to cover myself in the event that something gets uncovered that people don't like.
Yeah, I know, it's sad that you can never be too careful about these things. I've read some really old blog posts of mine from back in high school and I could never see myself justifying anything I've said or be able to explain myself, yet, if that ever got dug up that's what I'd be asked to do. It's ludicrous how it works and I feel sorry for those in the entertainment industry who have to do stuff like this on a regular basis.
I’m Back
I called my friend at work for a shift change. I haven't talked to her in months, and this is the conversation that we had:
Redford: "Hey, what up? How's it going?"
Kirstyn: "Not bad, boring here."
R: "Really? I thought this lot's busy."
K: "Surprisingly, not today."
R: "Say...would you be interested in switching shifts on May 18th? I'm working the day shift and you're working the night shift."
K: "But it says here that you're working Area 11."
R: "What? On mine it says Area 29 day, did the schedule change?"
K: "I don't know, but, Redford's working Area 29, and you're working 11."
R: "What? I'm Redford."
K: "Oh.....OH! OH MY GOD! REDFORDDDDD!!!!"
R: "You didn't know it was me?"
K: "Nooooooo...I thought you were Melky."
Yes, I'm back at the parking lot. Yes, I'm also going back to school tomorrow too. I believe the best way to sum up how I'm feeling right now is with this:
"We have to go back to The Island, Kate!"
I guess you can say that The Island isn't done with me yet...
Road Rage
I've been told I get a little heated when I drive. I curse a lot, sometimes I slam my hand on the steering wheel, and other times I'll just retaliate with my driving (if they tailgate me I slow down immediately, and speed up only to prevent them from getting overtaking me). What I rarely do though is honk.
It's not something I'm used to. I've honked a woman once and that was because she made a right turn as I was midway through the intersection. Caused me to slam on my brakes and so I honked her.
Today, was my second honk ever. Same scenario too! Go figure. I just picked up Courey and was crossing Finch on Sandhurst when a driver made a right as I was midway through the intersection. It was raining too so I had to slow the fuck down quickly and so I let out a honk. A long honk. I must have pressed that thing down for a good 5 seconds. The first 3 was just pure animosity, but the next two seconds we started laughing pretty hard. It felt damn good.
Seriously, try it sometime. I should honk more often.
Back to Work
I imagine not much has changed since I left two months ago. I'm working a day shift so I'm wondering if I get to run into the big boss today, who apparently, has gotten to know my name. It's never a good thing for these people to know your name.
It's funny how this all happens on a Tuesday. Next week I go back to school, and today I go back to work. It feels like an episode of LOST, and that I'm trapped in a situation because I haven't finished what I was supposed to do. Not sure how much I can actually accomplish at work, but, we'll see.
PS: For those of you who have watched Donnie Darko: doesn't it seem as if LOST is heading down the same path? That someone has to do something to set everything right and get everyone back on the same track as before? That the ending will just be a closing out of a circular narrative with all the characters getting back on the plane and having it crash on the island? Because that was what was supposed to happen?
Or, as I've jokingly suggested, Walt is going to come back and kill Locke and save the day. He's going to rub his temples and Locke's head is going to explode, and it'll be the most bizarre ending in TV history.
