Saturday Night

I could talk to you 'til I'm blue in the face,
But we still would arrive at the very same place
With you runnin' around, and me out of the race... -- That's Just What You Are, Aimee Mann

I got off work around 1620 today. I was very happy about it, too. I made 30 dollars, but whatever. Then I sat down and ordered a big steak with lots of junk on it, and spent that 30$. I laugh about that one. The meal was that much because I ordered the steak with stuff on it, and a Blue Moon (which I discovered is only good with an orange in it :p), and then I had to leave a tip. My server didn't have change, so I just let her keep the whole shabang ... shi... shebang... whatever. She was shocked, but it means she'll come in and eat in my section sometime and order a smothered steak, which is good, because I don't ever get any of those.

When I was walking into work today, though, I held my phone up in front of me and began turning the volume down so it would not ring while I was working. Then it hit me: I remembered that I did dream about work last night, and that I got in trouble about having my phone out at work. Now, either that did happen in my dream, or it happened yesterday at work, and I just don't remember it. It could well have been either, because I have poor memory often. Either way, I do not remember my dream from last night, and only remembered that when I pulled my phone out to look at it, so anything could be possible.

On another note, Kati-with-an-i choked me at work today. She's always hurting me, so I don't ever think about it. Today she reached up and put her hand around my throat... and I thought, eh.... It wasn't until she had her fingers digging into my neck, cutting off blood-flow, and air supply that I panicked. She freaked out when I coughed and slumped back a little. Oh and she let go, of course. She was shocked to see how fragile my neck was, and explained that she didn't mean to do that. Meanwhile, I'm sputtering and trying to recover my breath (it was a full hour or so later that I finally felt normal). Tears are filling my eyes and I'm doubled over trying to keep whatever is in my stomach from coming up (the sound I made when I coughed the first time was not inviting). We laughed about it, but I decided it would be a good idea for me to start strengthening my neck...
