Cars Suck

I woke up today early to my loud and annoying alarms. I turned them off, as usual.
The next thing that woke me up was the garbage truck growling it's way through our street, picking stuff up and throwing it around like a hooligan. This was not a good sign, however, as the truck usually gets to our house at about 7:00. This is when I was supposed to be at work. So I had a moment of freak out until Rali suggested I take the car as she needed to bring it to work for boxes anyway. So I relaxed a bit and got myself ready without as much worry and went to work. I was still about 10 minutes late. It worked out well though because my manager decided to simply switch me and someone else on the schedule because they were there. So in the end, I wasn't late at all but early by 20 minutes.

And then work was about the same as any other day. Business wasn't great but we were busy enough that I didn't feel bored or lacking in something to do. It's easy to feel that way when I work cashier sometimes, because as soon as there aren't customers I feel kind of at a loss as to what to do. I can even sometimes feel that way when I work as expo, but usually not. Usually I feel kind of harried by expo, like I am stuck perpetually trying to catch back up. Today I felt as if everything was smooth and I was at the same speed as the orders. So, overall, that made for a good day.
After work, I went to see Rali. Rali has a new employee under her wing again. When I came in, she was teaching her how to scoop gelato. I figured I wouldn't have much time to chat with her if she was training someone so I left.

Stupidly though, I had forgotten about the primary reason I had taken the car to work today. It wasn't actually because I was late, it was because we needed it for the boxes. So I thought to myself, "If I take the car back home, I can bike back up when I visit Rali later this evening and then we will be able to bike back home together," I enjoy that and I know Rali does, so I drove home.

At home, I played a bit of guitar. I am trying to hammer down a new song. It's a fun one because I grabbed a hold of a chord progression I made up a long time ago and reappropriated it for the ending. Because of the lyrics, the ending has to be different. I'm pretty pleased with it so far but I feel like there's a bit more I could do to make it really strong. I'll ask Rali for help later, if she doesn't mind.
And speaking of Rali, she called a little while ago upset that I had taken the car home. So now, I have to take it back up to work. Ah well, a dumb mistake: that's nothing new.

On my mind

This song I was working on. It's part of an album that I am trying to do based on a poem I wrote. It's been fun so far to work on it.
Forgetting things. Just in general. It's frustrating.
