"today's going to be a good day"

I really didn't want to get up this morning, but: I had work. After breakfast and getting ready to go, I was so thinkin' I was going to be late, and I so totally freaked out when I saw the clock in my truck saying it was 9:35 and not 8:35; but I realized that I just hadn't gotten around to setting it back. Big relief. But either way, I was expecting to be late none-the-less, but after hitting evry light green and not having to come to a complete stop the entire way, I actually arrived to work early. That was cool, and didn't hurt @ all the care-free, hurt me: it don't matter to me mood I've had all day. I was... happy... I guess you could call it. In any case. Cliff, this new guy that actually picks stuff up quick and does his job, came in two hours early on an accident thinking he was supposed to come in @ 9:00 instead of 11:00. That was handy; it's always nice to have an extra pair of hands. And Eric, the older fellow that I normally work w/, came in incredably late (fourty-five minutes) considering that he's normally @ least 10 minutes early. But @ least he did show up. But today was the slowest I've ever seen McAlister's in a while on a Monday. That was nice to be able to relax a little bit and drink an extra cup of coffee. One thing that did bother me, although I didn't let it dent my good mood, was that Eric took his break even when he came in so late he shouldn't have gotten one. Oh well. Another funny thing concerning work, the clock in the back of the house (aka, the kitchen) is stuck on military time, so we're joking around like "c'mon 14:00" (fourteen hundred), and "go time is 14:00," and other rather more rediculous things.
forget the pain
Something that's taken me to today to realize: I really like the violin. Like, it's happy & sad @ the same time. It can take you from joyous to grim determination to hopeful resignation all in just a few notes. It's like... hard to describe, but I love it. Places of note in which a violin is played suchly: the music used for Rohan in Lord of the Rings, and track nine on Us and Them. I totally listened to track nine (w/e the name is) three or four times just to hear the violin.
live your life
Well, I have to sleep, but I think I'm going to read a little before then, 1:00 seems like a good "bed-time."
