Oh wow...December the First has really set a silly tone for this month. So I showed up early and sleep-deprived for works – to discover that I was the only one who bothered to appear. (They’re having the kitchen floor tiled over, and we were all s’posed to be deep cleaning greasy kitchenthings today. Or maybe not all, but more than one.) The boss then has the floorguys cut the hot water and remove the sinks...before leaving me alone to figure out how to scrub an industrial kitchen by myself with only the scavenged supplies of a miniscule broom closet. It’s like he was daring me to ragequit. Well you know what? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Otherboss comes by in a bit, asks me why there’s no music. I tell him I’m fine, but he insists that I pick something. Internal monologue is amused as I consider the contents of my ipod...looping cello, scottish drum band, britpop Doctor Who, Star Trek punk...scroll, scroll...nerdfolk, nerdfolk...scroll, scroll...Trans-Siberian? Why ever not! It is, after all, holidaytimes now – so feck it all, I’m in a festive mood! And after they relegate the kitchen sink (as well as everything else) to the greasy-furry post-apocalyptic junkyard that our dining room has become, and after they ask me to navigate this wasteland alone, to make everything shiny ‘like new’...and after they kindly request that I somehow avoid getting water on anything or anywhere whilst doing so (um)...after all that, I AM KEEPING MY JACK-FROST FROZEN COOL, AND YOU CAN SUCK IT. I was down to my last five dollars. Though, some of you may remember my specialty in Things To Do With Your Last Five Dollars. Well three packets of hot cocoa and two gingerbread clifbars cost four dollars and ninety-eight cents, and hijacking my roommate’s media server is free. I went home, dug up my coziest sweater and my fuzziest blanket, and bundled down to Rise of the Guardians with my delicious hot cocoa. I have but one small regret, and that is my lack of tiny marshmallows. ...Who doesn’t like the tiny marshmallows?
