i arrived at work today at the usual time. however, and this little detail has alot of influence, i was late. late because there was a department meeting an hour before i got here. the hour meetings are mandatory overtime for a person who works the abnormal shift. only three other employees at the huge LLC i work at share this honor.
for the day staff employees they simply make their way over to the appropriate meeting room. no overtime- the meeting starts at 4pm and ends at 5pm.
but the gripe got away from me and mangled my evening here. i was doing so well too. it rained today and that was nice. i like turning off my wipers while stopped, it's funny because there are stopped cars with their wipers set on high wiping like mad. even funnier (at least i can't help chortling or cracking-off some air-pops) is when the rain has stopped and there goes those cars with their furious wipers beating the crap out of that nonexistant moisture.
i like turning off my wipers because of the kaleidorainshield-effect you get. since i work the evening shift, and when it rains on my drive home, i get some neet displays with an un-wiped windshield. the light columns on wet paths have me wishing that i could dive down there to find the end. as it is, i feel like i'm flying above that chasm of reflection.
i feel this same way on highly reflective floors, especially when there is a rug you can stand on and then peer over the edge down at the reflective abyss. when i leap off the rug my other self keeps me up by matching me foot by foot.
the rain has stopped and it's time to go home (i'm writing this from the after-shift of work). i feel like a slushy. they have orange-cream slushes at qt(quick trip) gas stations. those are good. they don't have the spoon-straws however. too bad. but not that bad. i threw my neck off earlier today so i'll go relax with my slushy (i hope the machine is working) and clean a bit, foodle with some personal illustrations, listen to some shoegazing selections, and look at the cool bottle of limoncello i was given by an executive at work. i had to out-dib a fellow associate who i like to think is a lush (with all the drink-related talk she readily shares).
see-thru is an attraction for me. and though the bottle is frosted glass it still has that see-thru charm.
oh, and i have to rip "human behaviour" to mp3. my eyes got big when i realized björk wasn't on my lists.
