sabbie and me and judas were fightclubbing at work. he punches me then i punch him. its terribly stress relieving. so we were doing it last night and some stupid woman came over to us and said 'now children, you really should stop that. OH&S you know... you might have an accedent and hurt each other"

and judas and me, fists still rasied, looked at eachother in surprise.

"but noleen" i said "theres nothing accedental about it. we _are_ trying to hurt each other. its the only way we can show our affection for each other in this day and age of society.dictated monogamy."

and noleen backed right off and fled up the corridor as judas collapsed in laughter.

sabbie and judas, november and i all had to work on new years eve. november and i dressed up and took nibblets and drinks. quite a way into our third large vodkalimeandlemonade, ernst walked past and said 'ohmy, is that a tiara? and gosh sabbie, your eyes look different.'

'yes ernst.' i said paciently 'today was my first day at work as a crackwhore.'

i reached for more guacmole, november snorted into her glass and ernst beat a hasty retreat

sabbie m&ms make funtime work companions.

november bought in a huge kilo pack on the day that all the customers were fucking nuts and i grumpily sat and ate my way through most of them.

oldephebe i worked in this store once just out of college as an assitant manager - me and the other assistant mgr. after the general mgr. had left..pulled out a few six packs of miller - we were having a side walk sale...we judiciously sipped from the cans out of the customers field of site - never had so much fun at work...I mean the beer facilitated this kind of faux esprit de corps kind of a facade to our in no terms friendly professional competition. Something in the air between us, that had been stretched taut..loosened by degrees...miller beer on a balmy mid may day..and the promenade of blue collar babes, speaking in the jagged, blunt intonations of a northeast philly accent...it was almost tolerable - listening to their unpretty voices, voices already serrated by nicotene and possibly really cheap rum or vodka..but they sure bought a lot of clothes that day...being out of that stuffy store feeling the sun beaming down on our face, feeling its' heat on our arms..sipping miller..flirting..having a little fun..

*sigh*

sigh?

wait that came off a little fugazi - I'm searching for some vaguely nostalgic and ribald term term to encapsulate the ambivalent spirit that has an echo of despondancy, what i'm feeling now...not quite the "sickness unto death" kind..but still..suddenly the air is a little sour, suddenly feels like a curtain of lead has descended upon my shoulders...

*sigh*
