A word on work

I realized that I've been weird and mopey and lovey-dovey and just generally annoying for the past several posts, and I apologize for that. For a quick change of pace, I'm going to write about work instead.

Work is interesting. Actually, no. it's not. It's incredibly boring. In my previous job, you were expected to be busy at all times. The only times you could be sitting around were when you had just gone to get subway and needed to stop to eat it. Otherwise, there were make-lines to wipe, floors to sweep, dishes to clean, tiles to scrub, whatever. We don't really do those things at my new job. I know they mop the floors at some point, though I've never seen them doing it. Same goes with the bathrooms. But basically all we do is make sandwiches and slice sandwich toppings. I guess that's fine, but it means I have a lot of down time. Down time isn't always good. It makes me sleepy. But whatever. We sit around and eat sandwiches, and I study for classes I don't want to waste actual free time on. It's all good. Today, we were sitting around in the back office and someone else who was working asked me "Do you smoke pot?" And he meant it, too. Because that's what people normally have conversations about at my work--places they have purchased, smoked, and in some cases grown marijuana. After I told him I didn't, he said "Okay. Just checking, because I realized I hadn't actually asked you that. You're about the only one here who doesn't." That's right. I work with a bunch of potheads. The thing is, I relate to them better than I related to 90% of my high school graduating class, and better than at least 75% of the girls on my floor. They're all really nice people, and fun to talk to. And, no, it's not like they come into work stoned or anything. It's just something they all have in common.

As for the actual working part of work, it's going fine. Bicycle deliveries are great fun, and I'm learning the layout of the town a little bit more, which is kind of nice. Obviously it's still not downtown Norman or anything, but I'm getting an idea for the major local roads and things. The tips are nice. Basically I'm considering them spending money and I'm going to put everything else away in savings, for now anyway.

Plans for Wednesday:
9:30-German
10:30-Understanding Music TEST (Middle Ages and Renaissance)
Whenever I get out of the test-Study abroad informational session (counts as "cultural event" for German)
1:30-Chem lecture (test Thursday night, 7:00 pm)
5:30-Office hours for Calc Prof. That class is getting nasty, and I'm not sure why, especially since I'm pretty sure I've learned the material before.

I'm going to miss part of my RSA office hours on Thursday, and this makes me sad. Not just because of the president, but because all the people who work Thursday nights are really fun people. We bond over funny music (primarily risque showtunes) and procrastination.
