As of this moment, my bosses are deciding whether or not to close our building due to the fact that it is about 60 degrees in here. The heat is busted and we are all walking around in jackets, gloves, hats, and the such. It's quite awful. My fingers are killing me. I am convinced that if I type too fast, one of my digits is going to snap right at the keyboard. No blood will come out, cuz obviously that froze hours ago.
The Gap went very well last night. They put me on cash register AGAIN! I told them that I wanted to be on the floor because I fucked up so much on Sunday night. They were like: "But we want you to be on register." I agreed with major hesitation and then suddenly I was register genius! I didn't have any voids and I was breezing through each transaction. At one point, a manager comes up to me and says: "Joe, cancel that transaction right now". I thought I was in trouble for something. As I go to ask him what the problem is, he says: "Miss, you have been banned from the store on numerous occassions. Leave now." She flipped out claiming that she didn't do anything wrong and eventually the security guard grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the building.
It was quite exciting.
I got to Paul's apartment at about 12:30am and was unpleasantly surprised to find out that he was not there. I started to get a bit frustrated with him because it is so typical for him to be more concerned about going out for drinks than it is for him to make sure that I could depend on him.
Luckily I found him in a bar down the street. Don't ask me how I knew he was there, I just did. I walked in and without screaming and yelling, told him that I thought he was completely undependable and that I needed the keys now. He gave them to me and said something about loving me, but I was already out the door by that point.
As I was getting my clothes ready for the next day, he came home and apologized and gave me the biggest, longest hug. I explained, very calmly, that I need him to be responsible when it comes to circumstances that are out of my control, but still affect me. I think he got the point, but with Paul you never know.
We stayed up talking and laughing until about 2am and then I just had to go to bed. As we were falling asleep, he said "I love you" (he said it first again!) and then he combed his fingers through my hair until I went to sleep. When I woke up in the middle of the night he was reasting his hand on the top of my head. It was incredibly romantic and sweet. The 5 hours I spent with Paul yesterday (although all of them spent sleeping) was the best part of my whole day.
I am so happy he's here.
Tomorrow night, he and I are meeting up with Kelly and Rita for drinks and then we are heading over to Rockefellar Center to see the lighting of the big Christmas Tree. It is nice to do NY'ish things once in a while. I am THRILLED to have the night off from the Gap. I am actually staying at my house in Queens for the night. It was like pulling teeth to get Paul to agree to stay there instead of in the village. He doesn't see why we should ever go to Queens.
He will learn his lesson. I just want to give him a couple days before I start laying on the guilt that I have an apartment that I love too. We will see.
So cold......
so cold.
Getting ready to go into my boss's office to tell him that I am calling it quits for the day.
Cuz really...........................BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTO!
yum.
I am doing my absolute best to quit biting my fingernails. I actually have some white on the tips of the nails now. It's pretty great. The only thing is that dirt gets under them and then I have to eat it. I want to have some salt and ketchup with my fingernail dirt.
Some nice garlic, or rosemary...
:-O***
I guess that's it for today. It's so freezing that my nuts have suctioned up into my body. They are gone now. Hibernating, I suppose.
Time for me to go do the same...
