Non-working related items first: I managed to wake myself up early enough today to attend a going away party for my friend's sister (actually, she's my friend too... so just friend XD). My grandmother, who'd gone on and on about me doing so didn't even pick me up, sending my grandpa instead. Which is fine with me- grandpa is a cool guy.

When we got on a less busy road, he actually had me drive for a bit. I did well on the straight road, and not too bad in a subdivision we drove through. I even got to drive on the curvy dirt road that leads to the house the party was at. Much fun :). After that, I went inside and my grandpa headed back home, saying that grandma would come pick me up in time for work.

I only had about an hour before I had to leave. But I got to visit, and it was nice seeing everyone. The friend I usually hang around with was off doing other things for a while before I actually got to see her though XD. 'Twas nice when she showed up though, because a lot of people came with her.

Ahem. Now this is where I must show a little bit of the teenaged girl self that in all technicallity I still am. >.>

I think I've only mentioned him a few times before, but one of the biggest non-childhood crushes I've ever had has been for a boy in this town I moved to. Shortly before I came, he'd moved to Wyoming, but he returned around the time I did and is going to be here for awhile.

I crush from quite a distance, and act normal around him, for how short those times are. And I don't spend like every second oogling over him or anything. Ick... that'd be weird. XD

Anyways- to get to the point. He was taking a picture with two other people there, and the one with the camera had them posing by the couch I was sitting on. Now, he happens to be a fairly tall person, and the two he was with are at least half a foot shorter. So he had one arm over each of their shoulders, and was bent forward to center the picture, as tall people are required to do in group shots.

Did I mention that they had their backs to the couch? Yes, I know it'd be odd for someone to pose in front of the couch and whatnot- just making sure here. So back to the couch... that I'm sitting on. Mind, I am right next to them, as I'm on the end closest here. So when he leaned forward... well... I had a really lovely view. :3

All right. I'm done teenaging now. >.> 

Ahem. Work! 

So it turned out to be four of us instead of five today. Yeesh... so glad it was a really tiny truck. Even if it was a truck of doom. We opened the door and a pallet tried to assasinate us O_o. I'm not even joking. Often enough, the people who load the truck do so in the worst way possible, causing all kids of boxes to fall on us when it's time to unload. Last week, a television nearly squashed me. But even that is much preferred to a pallet.

As troublesome as it was to remove everything in our way before we could unload, it still killed time faster than starting right away. As so much was palletized in the front, we got farther in the truck a lot faster.

I also got to do something new today. As Kathy was off, Michael on guard duty, and Sue got her days changed, it left us with no official scanner person. So Cherri decided to train me to use the gun, explained how to account for all of the items, and set me to work!

Oh man. I loved it so much in comparison to what I usually do. The scanner also happens to looks a lot like a phaser off of Star Trek. So when I wasn't scanning or separating break-packs, I was kinda messing around with it like it was one. XD

Of course, if the truck was bigger, I probably would've hated being the scanner. Besides electronics, we also have to sort the break-pack crap. Depending on how many there are, it can take a while. I have no idea if I worked at a good speed or not, as far as those go. Hopefully, I did.

On a side note, as I was getting ready to pull something out, Paul and I had a nice discussion.

Paul: Do you mind if I say something?
Pi: (bwazzuh?) No, I don't mind.
Paul: Since you've started working here, I think you've lost some weight.
Pi: ...Really? :D Sweeeet.
Paul: Looks like it. Could be you've gotten more muscle, but you look thinner.

Either way, this is most pleasing to me. Now, if I could stop eating junk food, this excercise would really pay off!

(sighs) Guess I better sleep now. Must be awake early for the meeting, and whatnot. Have a quiz thingy before I go. Picked this up from sparrowskit.
