Huzzah!
I got a job! It's not as many hours or as much per hour as I wanted, but it sure beats $0/hr 24/7 which is what I have now. I'm actually excited, not the getting up at 5am twice a week part, but the part where I am no longer a bum. It's at Old Navy, where I worked for 9 months in college. I would have worked there longer but they closed my store down. At the time it was nice because I got severance from the company for staying on to help close the store. They seemed happy to have me back, especially since I will be doing the somewhat more specialized work for this store that I did before in Boulder.
On the down side I seem to have picked up a cold somewhere. It's not bad at the moment, but it's going to be annoying for a week or so. It isn't hampering my happiness about being employed.
Not having a job means I've been watching a lot of TV during the day. I see a lot of advertisements that are for idiotic products or just plain annoying. But there is this Hot Wheels track that I keep seeing advertised that really bugs me. It shows a bunch of dinosaur skeletons attacking cars (which is weird, but whatever) and then there is a shark skeleton that attacks cars. Does anyone else see the problem there?
If you said "sharks don't HAVE skeletons" then you get a cookie. SHARKS DON'T HAVE SKELETONS. Their bodies are made of cartilage that breaks down when they die. That's why all the proof we have of sharks in the fossil record are teeth. And because I have nothing better to do with my time, this is weighing on my mind. Every time I see this add I want to cry a little.
Promise I will stop being a dork now.
