I Refuse to be Employee of the Month

This morning, when my alarm went off at 8:45, I said, "Fuck it," as usual. However, today I actually made the decision to stay in bed until noon instead of putting on my non-slip shoes and scooping sundaes for 6 hours.

Pros of playing work-hooky:
Got to sleep in
Ate all day [I got top pick of the Memorial Day leftovers]
Did bedsheets laundry for the first time since being at home
Finished my fabulous haircut* and flatironed
Watched an entire season of Project Runway

Cons:
Will have to explain my absence to various coworkers and managers tomorrow. "I didn't feel like it" won't cut it so I'm going to have to come up with something before then.

* Face-framing layers ftw!

So i hope you lose your job, you don't really like it anyway do you? Cause you are gonna need a real good excuse for no call no show!

I love those blues brothers shades btw. I've never actually seen a blues brothers movie but I'm pretty sure that's what they look like. :P

It sounds like we had very similar times on MD. Except fortunately I didn't get sick, sorry to hear that, that's the worst! No pics huh? Well I have some pics of my debaucherous time, check it out... if you wanna. take care.

Everyone needs a little time off from time to time. I wouldn't worry about it at all. The sun still came up this morning!

I like the hair. I believe this also qualifies as a good HNT!

Whoa - Angelina Jolie has got nothing on those lips! Mmmmm. I think John Mayer sang about those...

Like the hair length, short enough to be stylish, yet still long enough for a ponytail in a pinch(see I pay attention when women talk about these things)

I see, so your not the superficial jersey girl I've come to know. Good. Long Island is very unforgiving about status quo. However, like you I am very ready to move to the the economic chic. In fact the Geo was mentioned as the new chic in an article I read recently. Maybe I should go for that. I would really prefer a black on black Honda. We'll see, I have some time to make a decision.

Nice haircut and tell the manager that you were running a fever and couldn't get out of bed. I hope that works?

And speaking of all things Jersey - I went to the Garden State Plaza today and proceeded to get lost both in the mall AND leaving them mall. Not to mention that while I was there, the fire alarm went off. Shoppers continued to shop but the restaurant and the movie theater were evacuated so I went outside literally into a zoo. Gotta love Jersey.

Work can wait. You got new shades to buy. Don't masquerade on a gal in shades, oh no. Oh no . . .

sean c: you should probably watch movies before referencing them. also, if you've only met superficial jersey girls you've probably only met long islanders who you thought were from jersey.

i smile 2 much: thanks! i ended up just kind of babbling at the manager and got off with a warning :P

ta: my restaurant's employee demographic isn't nearly as dramatic as yours!

os: i would have submitted it had i realized it was thursday!!

blackdog: haha, i love angelina jolie, thanks.

mnwhr: props for your attention to detail :)

sage: thanks

tf: you can always count on jersey for mall-related insanity. then again, if it got too crazy, you could have hopped in your car and driven 15 minutes to the next mall ;)

dr ken: um, ok. is that some old-person reference that i'm not getting?
