technological downfalls.

this one is for noah.
today i went to kinko's to complete some paper cutting and photo-copying needs for work. There were a few other customers, and all of us were busy at our stations, completing tasks of sorts and concentrating hard on picking paper tray sizes for the copier. suddenly, this quite dapper older gentleman comes through the door, and stands there a moment. suddenly he raises his fist into a little fist-pump-in-the-air position and declares, "rubbish!"
we all begin to look his way.
"all technology is complete rubbish!"
he continues to declare the demons of advancement, as we all try hard to continue on with our tasks. It was rather humoring, although i did feel like I was Luther and the church had just discovered I translated the Bible to read-able texts. What was simple convenience for me made me destined for hell is his eyes.

grrrrRRAAAW!

i am going through a phase where i hate my job. i hate making coffee, i hate tolerating underperforming baristas, i hate waking up at 330am, i hate opening and closing, i hate being the only full time manager in a store that supports four, i hate people who come to the counters on their cell phones and then apologize to the person they are talking to for the inconvenient interruption, i hate people who order by saying "i NEED", i hate being sick, i hate being tired, i hate not being allowed to take any time off during our "holiday blackout period", i hate having to pretend that i really love all of it. because i hate it.
i hate it all.

check me out.

i am updating this post from my very own laptop. yes, thats right, i have finally arrived into the 21st century and embraced the progressive world of technology! Yay me, i am such a grown up.

we have a fish named fox. sophie, our cat, has discovered fox. she stands on the edge of a chair and pulls herself up onto the mantel with her paws and peers into his bowl. i have a feeling someday we will come home and fox will be "missing."

once, when i was a freshman in high school, we had birds. we came home one day and they were "missing." and our cats looked suspiciously happy.
