back from the store meeting and breakfast with liz and lori.
if i had worked anywhere else, or if i hadn't gotten to the point where i feel totally comfortable with my coworker peers (i am really very awkward and shy in person, contrary to what people may think), i would have died from humiliation this morning. apparently i missed the memo saying we were supposed to show up in full uniform, as they were taking pictures.
so every single one of my coworkers show up in navy shirts and khaki pants, and here i am with a green and white striped long-sleeved turtleneck with a bright green t-shirt over it, black stretchy pants and frog toe socks shoved into ghey flip flops.
awwww, yes.
i also found it quite funny that the only people that were on time were the closing crew: yancey, jeff, james, igor, and myself. you would think that out of all the shifts, the ones that work 3 - 11pm would be the hardest to get up, dressed, and at the store at 630 am on a sunday morning.
plans for the day? play xenogears and wait for the roomies to wake up so we can go meet andrea's baby. BAAAYBEEEE.

Funny to know that I'm so very behind on cleaning out my inbox, that Laurel was only a day old when I originally posted this.
Hey, you were made to stick out. You do everything right and so effortlessly! You're one of those people that get straight A's without even trying, making the rest of us who try and fail look like complete idiots. What makes them think you could be stuck in a uniform? You will not be outdone! You will STICK OUT!
On a similiar note... when I was in college, me and the other Student Ambassadors had to pose for a pic in our special Ambassador white polo shirts. Just before the pic was taken, I took a big drink of Dr. Pepper and poured it all over my shirt. All in unison, the other ambassadors yelled "aawwwww, Sarah!!!!" Because I totally ruined the group shot :-)
