Just a little bored

Well this has been fun. What a day I worked alone for 9 hours and next to no customers... fun. So I have a rant and some poems on here... no songs because none of them are good enough yet (the lyrics are somewhat dissatisfying) and as for stories… those can wait, but I can add my random comments now. This is what happens when I'm stuck alone at work. I start to write exactly what’s on my mind like my internal monologue it's pretty interesting... here it goes.

Yay! Here I am once again writing to myself about nothing. Damn I wish I had lined paper! Cause writing on blank is so hard... I've written 2 sentences and already it's all crooked. Now evidentially if I had something better to do, I'd do it. But I don't so I'm writing what I'm thinking, it's like your internal monologue on paper except I don't think this slow... only now... or when I'm tired. Ahhhh! I'm frozen! And my elbow hurts yet I still have another 6 hours here so I may as well get used to it. After 2 hours I've already resorted to writing to myself and drawing pomegranate juice, (which was delicious by the way, just murder to your enamel). Damn it I wish I knew where the thermostat is! It's snowing out and like 10 degrees in here... I'm going to make coffee. YAY that's better I just made a small cup of heaven…. Vanilla latte mix + caramel latte mix + hazelnut hot chocolate = WoOTfUlnEsS!!! Unfortunately it’s too hot to drink because I just burned my mouth on it. I say burned my mouth, because there are other things in your mouth that can get burnt… other than your tongue. Wow 3 fire trucks just drove by. *sings* The lunatic is in my head… That is a good song… Dark side of the Moon… The lunatic is in my head… that sounds like an interesting image. I’m going to try and draw that sometime. *Shivers* Ok that’s it I’m going to hunt down that fucking thermostat if it’s the last thing I do!!! (20 min later… literally) Ok I don’t think this place has central heating which is unlikely cause…ummmm…. Yeah I see vents. I successfully found the alarm, the water heater and the breaker box… most of which were in the restroom…but no thermostat. I feel like a moron *stares blankly at empty pomegranate juice bottle then proceeds to chug coffee* OMFG!!! I found the thermostat!!! *Does celebration dance cause there’s no one here to see* There I set it to 23 degrees… It was at 13. YAY!!! I feel better already *huddles by vent* I want chocolate!!! Ok if one more person references my name to “Josie and the Pussycats” there’s going to be hell to pay! Sorry I just had a customer (5th person I’ve seen in 3 and a half hours). And he asked my name, I said Josi and he says “Oh like Josie and the Pussy Cats?” I say… unfortunately. Ok I still want chocolate, but I’m trying to conserve it so I’ll get gum instead. Yay! I have something to chew on… That (now that I’ve reread it) looks so wrong. That’s a talent, to make something so innocent dirty. .. And here I am alone once again, now to have a fabric and air freshener party, cause it smells like furnace in here. Yay I have sexy Korean numerals they’re fun to draw. Pump up the music and drown out the orchestra, not that I don’t like orchestral music it’s just I’ve heard this same CD for the past day and a half straight. I need to change it eventually I guess, but for now headphones work. WOW that hour flew by fast! I just had the most amazing discussion with this woman who’s an ex-English teacher (retired). We talked about literature, film, art, music…the music and motives behind the sexual revolution, and how people are so uptight about their sexuality and the way their body looks… it was a very interesting conversation. I’d now like to take this opportunity to show I agree with her by stating “I’m on my 5th coffee and eating chips”. That’s one thing though… you never know who you’re going to meet. It is now 2:20pm I’ve been here since 9:00 am and I have had 10 customers… which isn’t bad considering that yesterday the grand total was 9. MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE!!!!!!! But damn it jalapeno chips are so freaking good. Ok it’s still snowing; I wish it had snowed before Christmas… not after cause white Christmases are so much better than brown ones with chunks of ice. YAY COKE!!! I have had waaaayyyy too much caffeine. I WANT CHOCOLATE NOW!!! There I gave into temptation. *swallows chocolate* I sicken myself. I love these chocolates! Not only are they dark (the best kind) but they have written instructions on how to open them! “TO OPEN ~ Lift flap and tear at end ---> LMAO! What is that? You think that I can’t find a way to open a chocolate? I mean if I couldn’t rip it I’d use scissors or a knife or something. 3:00pm now I only have 3 more hours…yay… Ahhh! The boredom is slowly creeping back… I will not be suppressed, or depressed for that matter although the thought of walking for an hour in canvas shoes through the snow isn’t exactly the happiest thought. I’ll just walk fast. Just to smite me it started snowing harder. I’m BORED!!! I want my sax or guitar or something, something other than classical violin in a stereo. If I only had an instrument here, I’d be so amused. I mean I could write a story or something but I’m not really in the mood. LMAO I feel like a scribe narrating my boring life. If I’d only come up with something insightful, or at bare minimum intelligent to say *sight* apparently I did the other night but I was talking about a printer and was fairly intoxicated. Yes I just contradicted myself. I think. More like made myself look like a jackass. SHIT!!! I hate working alone. When am I supposed to go to the washroom huh? What if someone comes in and I’m not there? This is why I normally work with at least one more person. There I went to the washroom and nothing bad happened… I tried to call Amanda and she had like 3 minutes so yeah that staved off my boredom for a total of 10 min. I could read because I brought a book but I have to move once every 3 min because of all the caffeine and sugar I’ve had so writing has more appeal. I’m going to listen to my music because it may calm me down. WOW this sounds so square. What should I think about? I wish I lived in England. They have so much culture over there. Great musical history and landmarks, plus it rains a lot. I love the rain, rain and green fields. I’ve never been there but I’d like to go. I also like the Phantom of the Opera. For some reason the song I’m listening to reminds me of it. “Tainted Love”… Why would that remind me of the Phantom of the Opera? But yeah that’s a good musical, not as good as Yellow Submarine but close. Is Yellow Submarine a musical? Can cartoons be considered musicals? I’ll need to look into that. Oh! I forgot! I need to find paper towel. *Looks under desk and conveniently finds paper towel.* Well there’s one thing that went right today. Unlike the thermostat incident *Glares across room in general direction of thermostat*lol…. Something I find funny is guitar faces. Well actually sax players’ faces are funny too. In my guitar class this one guy plays with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth and his eyebrows furrowed as if in deep thought (which he never has or will be), bobbing his head with every down stroke. I’ve been told I look totally spaced out/ high and my eyes totally unfocuse…. But that only happens if I have the piece memorized. If I’m reading it then I apparently stare at it and don’t blink at all. Guitar faces are weird. Sax faces involve a lot of eyebrow movement and eye blinking/ squinting. I love watching someone who’s really passionate play an instrument, it’s amusing. LMAO!!! I’m one to talk; I look amusing without an instrument. Wellios, it’s 4:25pm and there’s no one here…again… which is truly funnier? Sax faces or guitar faces? I’m going to need someone else’s opinion on this. Which I normally don’t need cause I’m an opinionated person, so if I get other peoples opinions I form more opinions and then we have an excess of opinions and something explodes *Sings along to Killer Queen* I think I need more coffee… this will be my 6th. No wait I have to boil water first. Oh, yay The Logical song. For some reason I feel I can totally relate to this song, I also think it’s masterfully written. It makes so much sense…. I want dinner….sorta. AHHHHH!!!!!!! THE GROUND IS SHAKING!!!!!! That’s the 6th train today… so irritating. Why won’t it stop snowing? It’s like something or someone wants me to be depressed. I want to go home, but I don’t want to walk. Roger Hodgson has the voice of a male angel… its very gorgeous. I wonder how he sings so high. Could be a unic but I doubt it. In conclusion I think he has a lovely voice. I wish I could fly, I honestly do. That would be so awesome….or you could be like wonder woman and have an invisible jet. Yeah that would be cool, costly, but rad. Now for my closing thought I would like to state… AMANDA IS A FRUIT!!!!!!!!

So yeah that’s what I do at work all day… and if you’ve ever wondered what’s really going through my mind (although I don’t see why you would). That may have answered some of your questions… and created so many more lmao.

Well that was long. But fun to read, regardless. You sound like you have a really boring job, but with plenty of access to caffeinated substances, which I'm sure lessens the boredom somewhat.

StephJP said...

Ouch, I feel cut.

You mentioned Amanda (TWICE!!!) in that whole rant and me only nonce. Yes, nonce.

I had many thoughts whilst reading *snicker* your petite rant, but I've forgotten. Which isn't saying much, because by the time I was finished reading the whole thing, I thought my thoughts about 20 minutes ago.

Don't look at me like that. I took a short breakfast break.

It's really weird in Toronto with the time change and all. I'm eating dinner at around 4:00 Calgary time. Just thinking about it weirds me out.

Is this at the mahsahje bed place? I have no clue how to spell that, so I'll make it up. This way I can laugh at myself. *chuckle*

Sorry for the excessive comments. I'm slightly bored...

StephJP said...

OMG FIX IT QUICK!!! In your "about me" thing, you spelt weird wrong. (wierd? *shakes head* I thought you were better than this. You disappoint me)

HURRY, IT'S BURNING MY EYES!!!

Joi Grey said...

lmao thanks Steph. I typed it fast and wasn't paying attention so yeah good job with that...but seeing as you mentioned it, I'm not going to change it just to bug you. Your eyes deserve to be burned. WIERD WIERD WIERD WIERD suffer my wrath and yeah i believe the word you were looking for was "Massage" not "mahsahje" that sounds like someone bit off their tounge and tried to speak french...so judge me not about the "Wierd" thing...and no I WILL NOT CHANGE IT!!!

*~ThisWay...~* said...

StephJP said...

argh. You're just trying to be difficult, aren't you?

No, you're just trying to be HARD! Yeah. That's right, you heard me.

Or, rather, read me.

(ewwwww) I'm leaving.

Joi Grey said...

Why must to change everything into your own weird perversion? Hard and read are everyday words litterally... why must you torment them? Or torment people with them eh? PERVERT!!!!!!!!

StephJP said...

Love you too, geez.

Haha, remember last year Tianna *cringe* and I had this bet where I wouldn't say anything sexual for a week?

I barely made it.

Joi Grey said...

Yeah I remember and then we made all these innuendos and dirty jokes just to bait you. And kept...nvm but yeah that was a good week to be me. Laughing at you.
