turn out the light, just say goodnight to yourself
exit 31 - Lansdale
it was just about 630, and my driving skills were deteriorating quickly.
there was no time to nap (as i was hoping), just shower, throw together an outfit that would pass as semi-corporate-casual. dash off to the train. doze. jerk awake. doze. jerk awake.
walk into the office lazily. turn on the radio. greet G with an incoherent babble, and an odd inability to grasp simple concepts and...words.
(i must mention, my typing skills are lacking today. you have no idea how often i am backspacing)
slack my way through the day. email back and forth with a variety of friends, minions, and other random torch-bearers. struggle to pretend to care about the redecoration potential color-scheme of the office. really - will i care once i'm gone?
345: give up the fight
4pm: head for the train
417: board the train.
doze. jerk awake. doze. jerk awake. realize that i probably look like i'm having some sort of seizure attack. to avoid hitting the kind woman next to me in the seats, i stay awake.
5pm: disembark from the train.
head towards home. stop at 7-11 for cigarettes, even though i have about $40 to my name. not counting the $90 in my savings account. really, what's the point of my savings account. i make about a cent and a half in interest every month.
reach home. walk in. realize that even though i am home super-early, i will not sleep until later.
i have lost a reasonable chunk of hours, never to be reclaimed.
but it was worth it. ohio is lovely this time of year. the company ain't half-bad, either. i'd be back there now, if i had my way. but there's money to be made, supposedly.
i've been approved for a loan. a sizable one. all i have to do is go to the office, discuss the terms of the agreement with the service agent, and the money is mine.
and so it begins...
