setraI'm going to state my utmost love and devotion to my PS3.
I even got one of these:
(And I even got it to auto-update. ^_^)
Monday: I found out at 8 that I was not scheduled at work at all and proceeded to sleep for another eight hours. I didn't wake up until 4 but I feel fabulous.
I've been listening to tons and tons and tons of podcasts the past few weeks. Mostly Savage Love.
Savage Love 108
The straight guy having a freak out over a rainbow bear... made me sad.
Dear TAL,
I recently listened to your reprise of episode of 377 - Scenes from the Recession. The story about the end of Circuit City hit me hard enough that I feel compelled to write to you for the first time. My first real job is the job I still hold five years later - at a corporate-owned fabric and craft store. While the rest of the economy has been crashing, our company has actually been doing very well. Stocks are up, auditors are on the move, all the good things you want to see as an employee of a corporation. In the last minutes of the Circuit City story, one of the employees mentions his store number and another comments that the idea that one person can make a difference in a corporation is a complete lie in that situation. In that moment, I was brought nearly to tears. In retail, you live your life believing that your actions, your team and your store can serve as a part of a greater whole. You are relying on the leaders of that whole to keep the ship afloat, but if they drop the ball, there is nothing at all that you or your team or your store can do anything to stop that failure.
In other news, Akram's pants are done. The core of Milly's Jacket is done (for Cally - it just needs all the trim and buttons and whatnots).
Watched disc two of Lelouch tonight too. Liking it very much, even if I'm on the mean side.
