I work at a loony bin.

It is kind of incredible how loud my co-workers are. We are an all female team and most of us are pretty quiet, but then there are the loud ones. They aren't just loud, they're screaming across the cubicles and crying and clapping and throwing things loud. I can't believe it. One claims she wants to quit while the other tells her she can't do all of the work for her. Diagonally across the corners of the 2 rows of cubes. The yelling. The crying. Wow. And in the midst of this all, a small cute unfamiliar woman snakes between our cubes. She is so timid and scared. And she should be. She steps up and hands me a postcard. All it says is to save the date for Thurs. Sept. 21 for an event. There are some recognizable famous artwork in circular puzzle pieces. I hope they don't make us do more mandatory company bonding in god awful heat again.

In other news, I got some shoes for my nano. Hehe. Just kidding. That's what Pickle thought I said on the phone. I actually got some shoes from 'nana (Republic.) I have wanted them all summer long and they finally went on sale. I tried to find cheaper ones at DSW with my sister last week, but no such luck. On this trip, upon every pair I pulled out, she said something like: "But they're so shiny..." or "Don't you have ones like that already?" or my favorite:"But they're gold!"

Those are probably the only three things I shop for: shiny, glittery, gold OR something similar to what I already have! Well, at last the perfect shoes went on sale and they just got delivered. When I ordered them on the phone (online wasn't working) the woman said "what a deal!" after she processed my transaction and gave me my grand total. Yessssssss. They are the most perfect espedrille wedges.
