waiting for life to start

I love my job... Second installment.

14-Davin, the gay waiter. He calls me Yucky Lacey because I don't like video games. That or Mothabitch...I'm told it's slang from Calgary from about 8 years ago. I feel loved. So loved.
15-My boss can call me at whatever time of the day, and I'll jump to answer the phone every time.
16-Since I got my lip pierced, the guys have warmed up to me a lot more. It's weird, but I like the extra attention.
17-I can work an 11.5 hour day, and the next time I talk to my boss, he'll apologize for the fact that I was working with dumbasses, and that they kept me so long.
18-I can always laugh at someone. It's usually Lee. Or Devo.
19-The guys know they can ask me for advice on really random stuff. Like when Lee needed step-by-step, written-out instructions on how to take the bus home from work. And then asked if he could borrow enough for bus fare when he found out they don't take Debit on the bus.
20-I can go in on my day off and just hang out for a while, and no one gets mad at me. Well, they haven't yet...
21-I can be as much of a perfectionist as I want, and no one calls me on it.
22-I can tell my boss he has a womanly flare, and he just laughs and says "no! I just have a good eye for details!" And I correct him and say womanly flare, and he gives up. 'Cause he's already realized that he won't win. Unless he pulls rank, in which case, I don't fight it.
23-I can miss a concert I'd been anticipating for 4 months to go to work (when I was called in that afternoon), and have no regrets whatsoever.
24-I can pull the "but I'm a girl!" or "I'm too short! Can you get that for me?" (when it really doesn't bother me, or I'm really not too short) on anyone in the kitchen, and for the most part, they'll roll their eyes and just do it for me. And I laugh at them, and then correct what they've done.
25-Devo wants to train me on line by himself, so that no one screws up and trains me wrong. He "wants it done right the first time."

I think that's enough for now. But there will be more; trust me. Ahh, I love that life is going so well right now! I hope it never changes.

Blackbird out.
