arishaSo my beautiful wonderful weekend off has slowly been devoured by work. And it's frustrating because I feel like I shouldn't really complain about it, I don't have any justified real reason to complain about it, but at the same time I want to complain about it!!
Perhaps this is a real reason: today I gave up part of my day off to go in and cover for a co-worker with a hangover. She is dumb enough to get drunk the night before her shift and then she is the one who gets the day off! I am well aware I have about zero sympathy for anyone with a hangover but even if I did I think this would still be frustrating. But my co-workers all know I have zero sympathy for anyone with a hangover so they always lie to me when they call me in. "Uh, you'll have to come in to cover for J ... she has the ... uh ... stomach ... avian ... SARS. That's it. She has SARS." KTHXBYE
Anyway. When I came home it was to find my brother upstairs working on a "Macbeth"-themed board game, and I convinced him to title it "Macbeth: The Game of Vaulting Ambition," which is pretty awesome.
Another thing that is awesome is that yesterday one of the local radio stations was doing this "Pay for Play" thing for charity. Basically, if you wanted to request a song you could pay them any amount over $5 and they would play it for you. But if someone thought the song was terrible and wanted to get it off the air, they could call in and pay any amount over what you paid and the station would take the song off. Isn't this hilarious?? Like a battle of the listeners, I love it, it's fantastic. And so while we were listening, someone paid $20 to get Strong Bad's Trogdor song played on the radio. WHICH IS HILARIOUS ENOUGH IN ITSELF! Especially because I think the announcer had no idea what it was he was playing, hahaha. But then somebody else found this song so objectionable that they paid $30 to make it stop.
AND THEN SOMEBODY ELSE PAID $70 TO GET IT BACK ON
OH MAN
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE THE END
