99 problems

today was my third eight hour shift in a row, which was a little odd because we have about twenty employees at work (so our schedules tend to be scattered and short). but i'm not complaining. even though some things about my job are a little irritating (rude customers, parking half a mile uphill, rude customers, rude customers), there are always so many ways work upstages these minor bothers. today perfectly exemplified such ways:

• albert einstein's stark lookalike came into work, and i immediately lost my shit and ran to the back in an attempt to conceal my laughter
• over $50 in tips for a job from which i really shouldn't be receiving many tips at all. i know this one sounds so shallow, but you and i both know that money is vital
• moreover: the fact that apparently everyone in laguna beach decided to get tipsy tonight and subsequently go for gelato...thanks for tipping fives, tens, fifteens for a cup that costs $3.50, you guys!
• one happy couple came in with a cup of guinness and shared it with my and a coworker. yumma

by means of alternating my hours between work and laziness, i've mostly been avoiding a crucial decision regarding this fall. my options are almost all equal in terms of pros/cons, which doesn't help with decision-making. of course, i do realize that i'm so lucky and blessed to even have such options in the first place, but the very fact that there are multiple options renders me pretty anxious (knowing me, i'm going to make a decision, and then i'll try to make the most of it but the second something goes wrong i'm going to think what if i chose something else ahhh) it's so ridiculous and cliche and unnecessary! but i love people here, there, and there, i love programs here, there, and there, etc. 

so concludes my mini rant.

at the very least, i'm glad i've learned to write with (some sort of) focus again. (see, it's ironic and a little bit hilarious because that statement in and of itself was an utter non sequitur).

updates:

• i saw beach house perform live, and they were phenomenal 
• four great days in berkeley = four weeks of super-introverted recovery time spent in bed with netflix, tumblr, and various social networking sites. and tom hiddleston interviews
• breakfast at tiffany's ost on vinyl obtained, finally (thanks michelle!)
• sometime soon, but not until after i get my shit together, i want to organize a cheap little ebay store to sell many, many clothes/accessories of mine
• during a slow shift at work, i recently discovered that orange sorbet (the one that no one likes) + italian cream = orange 50/50. yumma
