Day Off Mode.

Last night was Darren’s first night closing at our store. He’s a training specialist who’s going to be helping us out. And because I respect him, Erik and I swept and mopped behind everything on line. It took forever, but it was totally worth doing something nobody in their right mind would ever do ever close. Suzanne happened to drop in before close and told us to make line pretty. Or some phrase. So we drew stars and butterflies on everything.

And tonight, they were apparently short three people. One is a given, because Cliff Church is on his deathbed. Well, not really, but he is sick. Erik was called, but his car’s in flux. I was called – but was at Erik’s. Ha ha. You know they’re in trouble when they call me now. Any more hours and it’s to overtime I go. Again. *purrs*

Pity Erik was unavailable for them today. I was thinking about how Brian quit last Saturday – combined with Cliff being out, if Erik wants to snatch hours and make an impression, now’s the time. But we’ll see what happens. That’s up to him, not me.

I’m listening to Civil War and November Rain on repeat. What’s wrong with music, these days? It’s what I’ve been saying for years, where’s the guitar solos? Where’s the heart?

You can’t trust freedom when it’s not in your hands
When everybody’s fighting for the promised land

I’m not even sure what we did today. I remember going there. And. OH. Ashley wanted to play GTA: Vice City. So I watched her play. I played a little myself, but was frustrated at the utter lack of money. I did have some fun running people over on the beach – until my tires were shot out. So I stole an ambulance to run people over with more. Once I noticed I had four stars, I stole a cop car, stole another car, and made my way to the pay`n`spray.

Erik’s parents made tacos. Woo. I thanked his dad for the food. *nodnod* His mom put on White Noise. It was funny how she kept calling out exactly what was going to happen. Predictable movie, but whatever, entertaining for the moment. WE’RE WHITE AND WE’RE NOISY!

Erik said to drop by after I get off work tomorrow. We’ll see what happens. I have no problem staying to pull chicken, make cream cheese, and do dishes.

I should sleep but I’ll probably end up playing some NES games on emulator on Roxanne. Among my collection is a Super Mario Bros hack with all Zelda sprites. And a Legend of Zelda hack with all Mario sprites. …And a SMB2 hack with all Transformer sprites. That just plain disturbed me.
