Day 4.1 Boys will be boys
May. 25th, 2009 09:30 pm
I was so tired last night that I went to bed around 20:30. More like tired and sweaty, actually. The weekend has been really warm and so my room has been quite stuffy, as the window doesn't catch a draft and my electric fan has been pressed into service to cool my computer, as much as it is able to.
* A variety of stuff to do kept us busy and helped time pass quickly.
* Communication between IKEA staff and us is still pretty flaky at times but there was no one to be overpoweringly bitchy about stuff to us.
* Guys still talk about stuff that interests guys, but I didn't find it as annoying as when SHE is around.
* Maybe SHE's annoying because SHE's trying so hard to assert her masculinity (and overdoing it?)
* This doesn't excuse the fact that SHE really IS a really heavy drinker and SHE revels in it.
After work I went to be a test subject for a psych experiment. $10 for poking a few buttons for half an hour was totally worth it, instead of being underpaid and "socializationally" stressed.
P.S. Re. alcohol-obsessed youth: It's one thing to encounter them and have to deal with them from time to time; it's another altogether to have to spend 42.5 hours a week with them.
