Early hippo birdies, zuisa! (I'm betting you've done a lot more by 25 than I did.)
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think a herd of large mammals is migrating through the apartment upstairs.
Well, humans have been encroaching on their habitats for decades. They've gotta go somewhere, might as well go somewhere with plumbing.
I think my former upstairs neighbors ran a clogging school for sumo wrestlers.
Have I ever mentioned Mr. Squeakybed McLongTime?

Happy early birthday, zuisa! This is a good week to have a birthday.

Happy Birthday, zuisa!

Happy Early Birthday Zuisa!
I cannot convince my coworkers that I am actually feeling much better than I was, due to the fact that my voice is almost completely gone.

And I seem to be developing a sniffle and sore throat. Hopefully I can head it off with the prompt application of zinc throat lozenges. They make Everything Taste Funny, but they really do seem to short-circuit some of the worst cold symptoms.
I really don't want to call in sick in my third week on the job!

It's no worse than I thought it would be, I'm getting up to speed fast enough, though it's going to be a while until I have enough of the produce codes memorized to zip through those. The managers and coworkers seem pleased with me, and I even got offered an extra six hour shift this week, which takes me up to nearly 30 hours. Still not enough to live on, but it keeps my remaining savings from draining off too fast.
So far, the hardest part of the job is STANDING, for hours at a time. Which I should be able to build up endurance for. They typically give you a break after two hours, even to reminding you to take it, so I'm pleased with the way this particular supermarket is managed.
It also helps that this market is on the border of Somerville and Cambridge, so we get everything from retirees to professors to WIC recipients (and quite often you wouldn't be able to guess who is which) so it's an interesting mix of customers.
