I have done the whole hair-styling thing again, so that I will not resemble Art Garfunkle at the interview tomorrow. Unless, of course, the humidity cuts through all the conditioner and refrizzes my hair tomorrow. Hair is complicated.

place where they are intentionally rude

There was a place like that in Salt Lake. It didn't last two months.

Oh, now I want some cheese enchiladas, P-C. I haven't had Mexican in a while.

I really want that cheese crisp now!

The best was at Ed Debevic's, a place where they are intentionally rude (all waiters should get to work there at least for a little while)

They're like that at Dick's Last Resort too.

Preparing for interview tomorrow. I picked out my clothes and put them on the chair, I set my alarm clock, and I put my notes, wallet, rain coat, snack bars, cough drops, and makeup in my bag. (I know I won't be awake enough to put makeup on when I first wake up, so I'm going to do it at the train station.) Cell phone is charging. I feel like I must be forgetting something.

Ralph's in Hermosa Beach but not the one in Manhattan Beach

Laga that's so funny because the same thing has happened to me, but at the Von's in Torrance I get asked every time (but I bring my own help in the form of a 14-year-old because it's part of his allowance). It's gotta be some snooty MB thing, right?

Clearly the Long Beach Ralph's has some 'splaining to do.

ION- It has come to my attention that my call sign name here, if typed on a phone pad, would start out with 666. How devilish of me! Dunno why that has tickled me pink. Clearly it's been a slow day at work.

It just feels like, "Hey, thanks for doing this service. By the way re-entry stress is 10 times worse than culture shock and could really screw you up for a long time, so, uh, good luck with that. Buhbye."

Pretty much! Re-entry stress was not my issue - I was braced for it but mainly felt relief - but I agree with you.

So, typically, I crashed today after my great day yesterday. Maybe I am a little bipolar and that is my hypomania? It's been made worse by discovering that recent ex D has been an ass to other women (of course) and me posting about it on OKC and feeling a little nervous about having done so.

Meh. I need to eat something.

Oh noes, my mood swings killed the thread!

Come back! Uh, The Oatmeal made a new comic about irony! [link]

I am being ridiculous. I've been rereading Anne of Green Gables for the zillionth time, and I'm almost at the end, and now I remembered what happens at the end and I don't want to read any more because I know I'll cry. But if I finish, then I can read Anne of Avonlea, and lots of fun stuff happens in that one.

smonster, my day wasn't all that productive either. Just realized it. looking at the clock, 17:30, and I accomplished, almost nothing. And now I'm hungry. So, I guess I'll head home. Golly, the students leave, and it's like the adrenaline rush is gone or something.
