sorry i've been so gone. i've been busy working. working-working, working on keeping my computer alive, working on keeping my newly single friend entertained, working on pulling fate out of a napkin.
you know. same old shit.
so how are you guys?
i'm at work now. before work i was at kroger and i was thinking about how the cashier that i used to think was the greatest cashier i'd ever encountered was really just very good at work mode. i liked her because she always smiles, always talks about something other than groceries, and always tells me to have a good day. but after going through her line as many times as i have i've realized that she never, ever remembers me. i know this because she's asked me if my lip rings hurt four times and told me how she wants a tattoo six times. i bet the second she gets out of that grocery store she becomes a totally different person.
and i'm thinking this as i thank a customer for asking where the nearest strip club is and one for accepting the footies she's asked for. a customer who made a purchase and spent a few extra minutes telling me how he liked my outift came back in five minutes later for batteries and i didn't recognize him. but if someone in the store starts talking to me about something other than the store i snap back. i wonder if this is a bad thing. i wonder what they think i do after work.
