WTF DO YOU MEAN FOR ME TO SLOW DOWN!?
*sigh* So I've been trying to get stuff done, get errands run, remake my Indie Intelligence Playlist to something virtually enjoyable no matter what the song [it's my Halloween StarMix for this year, oddly enough], catch up on e-mail and Facebook and MySpace, get caught up on the 4 or 5 forums I post in, AND I had a very late lunch. Store Manager Joel's birthday is tomorrow but he's going to be having a minor operation at the hospital, so he was here today, and I helped the crew wish him the best. Got paid, walked about 45 minutes to the credit union, FINALLY had lunch at around... er... quarter-to-4? But the real tick-off is when one of the regulars who I really don't like, mostly because he stops by at breakfast rush and almost ALWAYS wants to start a conversation with me but I'm focused on getting my drive-thru line going, spots me walking homeward and waves.
Customer - "Hey Sunshine, how are you?"
Me - "As usual. Busy."
Customer - "Aww, so I can't even stop you for a moment just to have a chat?"
Me - "I'm sorry but no, I have things to do and I need to hurry home."
Customer - "But can't you just slow down for a moment?"
Me - *with a glare* - "...I'm sorry but, slowing down is a term that does not exist in my lexicon. Look, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow."
Customer - *as I'm walking away, homebound* - "But Sunshine--"
Me - *looking back but still walking away* - "I'll see you tomorrow!!"
*sigh* I swear, there is no such thing as slowing down in my lexicon. Most of the time anyway.

~ me
P.S. ~ Before I do get my downtime I would love the world to know that yesterday was the anniversary that Roboter and I became friends on Facebook. And to think it all began with our minor obsession with Kraftwerk!! Who knew it would turn to something more? In any case it's been a madcap year, and so I say [quoting him], here's to more years of laughs and happiness!
Roboter, you are sooo the wonderful, and I love you all the more for it. Here's to the day we finally meet face to face. And God willing it be sooner than later--much sooner!!
