I was dumbfounded by truths
I just filled the beams on the underside of my bed (or the ceiling of my office if you're feeling saucy) with cans of Vault soda. If you are unfamiliar with Vault, do you remember Surge? Vault is pretty much repackaged Surge with extra caffeine. Or if you scratch your head at Surge, imagine Mountain Dew in cough syrup form. With extra caffeine. And if you don't know what Mountain Dew tastes like, man, I don't even know. Just pretend that last paragraph never happened or something.
Anyway, the ceiling of my office (or the underside of my bed if you're going to get sassy about it) is now fully stocked with my godawful energy pop of choice, and every time I look up I see can after can of Vault and I'm not sure whether to grin with nerdy glee or cringe. Mostly I grin.
After spending a three day weekend back home, today was an awfully long day at work. At least Halloween ends tomorrow. I AM SO GLAD. The Halloween season is fun for about two days, and then it starts to feel like a circle of Hell that Dante forgot to write about. The last few days before the 31st are the worst, because we get swamped with angry, frantic people who want to know why we sold out of makeup (it's the day before Halloween you doofus) and where that costume they saw last week went to (it went home with somebody else you procrastinating goober because it's the day before Halloween WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US). On the bright side, we did over $95,000 last week, which is insane. We will double bonus this month. And tomorrow is the costume contest, so I intend to wear my mullet wig to its fullest potential. I'm even going to black out a tooth or two. What can I say, when I have a mullet wig on my head, it means I'm playing to win. In this case there's a $50 gift certificate at stake. We'll see how this goes. "By The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah just started playing on my ipod, and it feels very appropriate. I like it when that happens.
Thanksgiving feels awfully far away.
