... so then I didn't post for like two weeks. Yeah, I don't know. I had a really shitty week, though -- the boss that hired me went on vacation for a week, so, uh. That boss I hate, the one that made me cry, who apparently is just as horrid to everyone else? Yeah, she was there every fucking day. With no buffer.

But on the bright side, she's the one on vacation this week, and the really young manager at our store was telling a few of us (it was the three of us and him, and we were chilling behind back line, because, seriously, dead) how apparently he went off about her to Junior (one of the owners) and the boss that hired me, with the end result that when she gets back from her vacation she's going to be around a lot less. Like, some days she's just going to open at other stores and never show up at ours.

I cannot overstate how much this is going to reduce my stress level at work. It's only Monday and it's already gone down.

We went to a bike place today to see if we could get water bottle cages, at which point we discovered that we don't have the screws necessary to actually mount them. So instead we, uh. Got a mini-backpack. But it'll fit, like, snacks and shit as well as two water bottles, and this way there can be ID and keys and stuff in there too.

ALSO. I am taking gym courses this year, so I have been thinking (off and on) that I needed to see if I could find a pair of gym shorts, the problem being that I hate my thighs too much to wear those ridiculous short shorts that are common as gym shorts for women, but I also am not fond of my thighs rubbing while I'm getting sweaty, so basketball shorts are out. (Although they were quite handy when I didn't have any this year, thank you

midnight_united.)

BUT. We were wandering around and stumbled on some shorts that looked really promising. And then they sucked. But then I found this awesome pair of plaid shorts that keep my thighs from touching, go down to my knees, and don't even cling weirdly. It's really exciting, like, I know it sounds dumb and frivolous, but it's a big thing for me.

I found The Usual Suspects on TV last night. It started at eleven PM.
