So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Touring the facility and picking up slack

Sooo... first day o' work! Oh how I enjoy reorganizing bins of tires.

Here are some quotes:

"If you're still driving that slow by next week I'm going to stop calling you Laura and start calling you Miss Daisy"

-Mark
and

"I wouldn't go over there if you paid me to go to France."

-da Bossman Walker

Well, I spent most of the day humming to myself and hoping that I had appendicitis, but since that's pretty much what I did all of last summer, it was not particularly novel. I met a UPS guy named Roly ("as in Roly Poly", says he) and Gary gave me a friendly warning about my co-worker,
"Man, oh man, is she going to be a total bitch this week."

I was thinking about tires today... funny coincidence, isn't it, seeing as I was stacking them for 9 hrs in a row...
After you work in a warehouse for a while, you get to know your tires and pigment numbers like they are your old friends. I bet I could even wager a guess as to what part number the tires on your car are, as long as they are a part we carry. So I wonder if suddenly someone said, "Oh no! the 86142s fell on Scott!" if I would then be able to say, "Holy crap! those are some of the heaviest tires we have for their size! They are in bin 010100700!"
I bet my knowledge could save lives.

That would be the kind of thing that would happen to Scott. Poor guy never catches a break. Except for when he's walking through downtown Denver, trips on a parking lot chain, falls into a gutter, and breaks both bones in his lower leg so that his foot is facing the wrong way followed by no one responding to his cries for help, followed by finally getting out his cell phone and dialing 911 himself. Today we get to see if he gets surgery!

Wow, Ranor was right, this Nutang is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even better than George Bush, ya might say. Maybe George Bush and sliced bread have a lot in common... who knows.

Here's something sweet though- I went to Zion National Park and we hiked to the Emerald Pools where there were these tiny frogs that sounded like really loud bleating sheep. mBaAa! mmmbaAAaaA! They were in a pool at the foot of a gigantic U-shaped sheer vertical cliff that surrounded us on three sides. The waterfall above turned into vapor about five feet off the rock and so didn't really make it to the bottom. There were these random deer hanging out there eating grass, and it seemed like one of those enchanted forest gigs that are in B-movies and you're like, "yeah, like that would ever happen in real life." Well, apparently the cure for some skepticism is just to get out a little more. We were thinking it would be good to put that pond in a fantasy novel, and the character would finally reach the top of the hike and there would be this little random magical pond and then just as something magic/suspenseful was about to happen, those noisy-ass frogs would go eerily silent.
Think about it.

Oh yeah, and Callisto arrived alive. :D


Gotta love Juanes. Oh faint.

watching: the gilmore girls are whores!

mood: sleepy
