Work today. They set the schedule so we all have to come in a half hour earlier for all our shifts, thus creating some sort of overlap so when people are late I don't have to throw a bitchfest because I have training somewhere else in a half hour. (I mean, that's probably not the specific reason why, but you know, an example...ish.) Thus... I have to get up a half hour earlier. sad, sad panda.

Went to the doctor yesterday and found out I don't have cancer, AIDs/HIV, herpes, syphilis, etc. etc. etc. Not that I felt there was a really strong chance I had any of those, but it is nice to have the professional reassurance that, no, you aren't going to die anytime soon from some embarrassing venereal disease. I also lost 6 lbs, which I'm attributing to walking 5-7 miles a day at work, and of course forgetting to eat, which I've been doing a little too much lately.

Last night! Ben's going away party-sortish-get together at the s'looon. pool, beer, hugs, yadda yadda yadda. strange social dynamics. I wish him TEH BEST, and hope to see him soon because, as we all know, you can never *really* escape this town... mwaa ha ha...

Also! Playing 'let's get to know each other' with a new friend. I have this... thing... called Being Extremely Socially Awkward, Particularly in Regards to New People and Social Situations, in which I ask really stupid questions in an attempt to engage people in conversation. Like, really stupid. Because I am incapable of normal person "small talk." OH MY LORD I AM SO AWKWARD. I feel like I should just start walking up to people and going "HEY WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND FOR REALZ? LOLZ!!!!!"

Also! Apparently none of the bartenders can spell my last name, so my new name at the bar is "SHA-KA-LACK-A." Thanks, papa.
