i haven't had a whole lot to update with these days. work, work, work, the acquisition of a few new credit cards which will ultimately be my undoing, and of course, the usual sitcom at work - the premise of which being that i constantly get teased with the promise of more money, and, by the end of the episode, am ultimately shafted, trix rabbit-style.
silly cheryl! raises are for hot staff members! tee hee!
i am such a glutton for punishment.
some child modeling/talent agency has contacted my brother about my six-year-old niece. she seems to be into the idea, and if she wants to do it, i'm sure she'll have fun with it. i am reminded, however, of a girl who briefly went to my middle school and was doing some modeling. at 12 years old, she was drinking nothing but spring water and crystal light and eating low-fat pringles. she bragged about being offered a shoot by calvin klein's people, but that her mother wouldn't let her because she was too young. i tried to hate her because she was a prissy snot, but i couldn't do it, i felt too bad for her. she didn't fit in anywhere in our school because that sort of place was obviously completely alien to her and i worry about these sort of things happening to my niece.
i had a dream that kim and i were in her car, and she drove straight into a giant, chasm-ike pothole in the road, where i presume we met our end, after splattering into tiny bits at the bottom. it was fun.
the higher-ups at work have declared that we will no longer be doing anything that requires shrink-wrapping. i'm hoping that they let me have the shrink-wrapping machine. i don't need one for anything, i just kind of like the idea that at any time of day, at any moment i so desired, i could encase virtually anything i wanted to in a sealed, form-fitting plastic wrap.
oh don't you judge me. like you've never wanted to shrinkwrap the neighbor's dog/cat/small, noisy child in the middle of the night.
