it's my second to last day at this job. i just wrote a whole paragraph about what went wrong with this job, but fuck that. i'm not dwelling there. my time with those thoughts is over.
besides, i have something nice to report from the frontlines of humanity.
i went in to get coffee today from Axis Cafe, a place i visit nearly everyday for my afternoon wake-up coffee or the amazing spicy ahi tuna salad for lunch. i have made friends with the cafe girls over time and one especially is very friendly to me. she reminds me of my best friend from the college dorms...my cute, scatter-brained blonde surfer/stoner girlfriend, so i liked her right away. this morning i walked in for morning coffee and told her that i wouldn't be coming in anymore, that i have a new job. she said, hold on a minute, i want to give you something, and she wrote out a certificate for a free lunch. she signed it with a heart and the words, "good luck! we'll miss you!"
i mean, really. that's what i'm walking around with today. not the confused, jealous, scowling, black nightmare in the corner who won't talk to me.
thanks miss "ox"!
