Loretta Lynn versus the TV and why I hate the elderly
This was a week of firsts. I have worn glasses since grade 5 when Conor first called me four eyes but only this morning have I ever stepped into the shower, submerged my head and realized that my glasses still adorned my head. Another less memorable first is that I did not drink during a 'school night" all week. Its a first since the summer but as I write this I am beyond my first drink of the night. Last night was also the first time I saw a man faint and a doctor go to his aid. Kate's parents took us out to dinner (I had an excellent bison steak with broscutti and cream cheese wraps). An elderly gentleman behind us got flushed and his wife was wiping his forehead than boof, he started to go down so Kate's father, the doctor in this case, went over and they moved the table aside and layed him down blah, blah, blah the medics came with the firemen and took him off to the hospital. It was kind of cool though. I asked him if he ever had to do that before and he told us a story once of how he was on a city bus and a youngish man just keeled over and stopped breathing so he emptied the bus and with the driver's consent they comandeered the bus and took it to the emergency room.
The retail job has started tearing away at my soul and I find I have less energy to be angry at things but its just coagulating and building up. I almost kicked an old lady in the teeth today when she tried to treat me like a mindless mongrel. I love how old, haggard has been women who are barely human anymore and who are only wealthy for having done filthy things to husband candidates 35 years ago try to treat me like and ignoramus. I am not afraid to hit a sassy mouth bitch senior no matter what gender and if they keep pushing me they, and their polydent dentures will surely regret it.
Two albums to pirate this week are:
T.V. on the radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (motown meets indie rock)
Loretta Lynn- Van Lear Rose (produced by Jack White)

I've only witnessed my sister fainting. It was in an Arby's about 6 years ago. We were standing in an extremely long line talking about nothing, I looked away and when I looked back I watched her fall straight on her face. I laughed out loud and found the whole circumstance funny. I'm not sure why...I seem to laugh at all the inappropriate times. I'm glad she didn't die, I would have felt guilty and a bit sick and twisted.
About the retail life, I can totally sympathize. I too worked a short life of retail. My stint was for Lancome at Eaton's as a Cosmetics Salesperson. If you knew me at all... you'd be laughing right about now. Why they hired ME I will never understand. I once had to apply a cellulite cream to an older wrinkled lady's upper thighs. I felt used and abused. She came back a month later and had plucked her eyebrows off... she wanted me to draw them back on. I quit shortly after that.

Im so sorry that you had to touch an eldery ladies bulbous, cellulitely plump upper thighs. I am quite sure I would have cut off my own hands if I had to do that and somebody watching me cut them off would probably laugh because it seems the most inoportune times are the funniest times.
