A few thoughts on the end

Today was my last day at the Park Record.

Finally.

A few thoughts:

If the place burns to the ground, it would be this kind of ironic twist of fate.
If certain people got hit by cars, it really wouldn't be much of a loss.
If every one good quits, a great deal of misery will end.

I could say many more things, but I won't.

I'm just glad it's over.
And I can move on.
Finally.

Day off

I am trying to use up my vacation days before I leave the newspaper. So I took today off.

I rode my bike (yes, I am back on my trusty steed. My leg is doing better, thanks for asking...) down to Graywhale (my local indie CD shop) and bought the new CD from a band I just discovered.

Check them out. Elbow, Grounds for Divorce

Apple girl

I wanted to post this last week, but it was not official yet.

Nate calls me "Apple girl" because of my killer job working at Apple. And now even more so.

Apple offered me a full-time job last Monday. Hell yes.

I won't be on the floor like I have been. I will be working in the Back of House doing inventory control and becoming a product specialist. You know, keep stuff organized, do paperwork, basically kick ass.

I am stoked and quitting the Park Record.

FYI, WWDC is today. So thankfully, any news about iPhone and such will be announced and people can stop coming into the store begging for tidbits of info.

One-sided conversation

A real conversation overheard in my office (aka the newspaper, not the Apple store)

(A cell phone rings and co-worker picks up. Please be advised that this is just HIS half of the conversation...I have no idea what was said on the other end...)

"Hello?"

"You fainted?"

"You mean, like you passed out or you just fell asleep?"

(And then he left the room.)

Seriously...I'm a liar.

Hey, you know how I promised two posts yesterday?

I'm a liar.
Because I didn't do it.
Obviously.

So, I just got home from my second day on the Apple floor. The pace is insane. The only thing I can compare it to is:

a daily newspaper.

There's always something going on. It's go go go go

GO!

I'm dead tonight. Dead on my feet. Nate says my body will adjust soon. I will be so happy when it does. Thank god for body adaptation.

It may be good for you
