Maybe different but remember winters warm there you and I.
Kissing whiskey by the fire with the snow outside.
And when the summer comes
in the river swim at midnight (shiver, cold) touch the bottom
(stars are bright) with muddy toes
Stay or leave--I want you not to go,
but you should.
It was good, as good goes.
Stay or leave--I want you not to go.
But you did.
Wake up naked, drinking coffee, making plans to change the world
while the world is changing us.
It was good, good love.
And you used to laugh under the covers,
maybe not so often now
The way I used to laugh with you was loud and hard.
Stay or leave—I want you not to go,
but you should.
It was good, as good goes.
Stay or leave—I want you not to go.
But you did.
So what to do with the rest of the days' afternoon haze?
Well isn't it strange how it changes everything we did?
Did I do all that I should—that I could have done?
Remember we used to dance and everyone wanted to be you and me? I want to be too.
What day is this, besides the day you left me?
What day is this, besides the day you went?

Babble
Working a 13 hour shift today was made a little bit easier thanks to some Marley. I miss that guy. I wish we didnt have to be adults. I want to be child-like more often. I think I'll color tomorrow. and play with Lego's. I want an adult sized Big Wheel. with streamers off the handles. you'll be able to hear me slide stop a block away. whatever happened to micro machines? or those one freaky stuffed animals that rolled into itself. i want to be in kindergarten again where the only stress is whether or not the teacher calls on you to read aloud. a brand new box of crayons, lunch boxes and the smell of white elmers glue drying on construction paper. i'm going to cover my entire palm with white glue, let it dry and peel it off. its like peeling off a sunburn but cooler. i seriously can not wait for summer. my skin is aching to feel the sun. i should go to a tanning bed. perhaps that will tide me over until the warmer weather gets here. theres a guy at work who's leaving to go back to cali to take care of his mother. i'm kinda bummed he's leaving because 1) his mom isnt doing so hot and 2) i was actually starting to get to know the dude. he'll be missed.
i need to remember to get gas in the morning...

Work dynamics
Being friends with your bosses can prove to be quite difficult at times. Case in point: I had Monday DAY off and worked the closing shift so that I can maintain my 40 hours a week (plus I can spend the day with James). I come to work on Monday about 10 minutes before my shift starts and dear god, it was like a thunderstorm was raging inside. Jessica, my immediate boss, and Mike, my other boss are both my friends outside of work. Jessica I have known for many years and have come to find a 'niche' in how to work with her, how to read her moods and at times, tailor how I ask a question or for some clarification. Mike I've only known for about a year yet I have come to anticipate his actions and how he likes to run things (which is eerily how I myself like them to be run) and can work seamlessly with him. Knowing how each of them works is an advantage to me but it also proves to be a problem. When I came back to talk to Jessica, I got her side of the story; what got done, what didnt get done, how her ass got chewed for something, what didnt go right about this that and the other, etc. I listened to all she had to say because I knew she needed to vent. After she left, I went to Mike and asked HIS side of the story. I didnt side with either one, just heard them both out and as a third party, could tell where the breakdown of communication occured and what could have been done to prevent future instances. The only problem is, getting them to talk to EACH OTHER rather than thru me.
At times I feel as though everything I ever needed to know, I learned in grade school.
