Incoherent Narrative #9,348

Went out last night for my friend L's going away party. We've worked together for 5 years, and it will be weird not having her around. It was a good time though, but a little bittersweet. I had to close the store, so I didn't get there until late, like, almost 1 am late. There was some karaoke (not by me), good times and laughs had, and I drank 3 Budlight tall boys in an hour and a half. I achieved the perfect zen state of drunkenness and was trying to wax philosophical about it, but nobody was listening so that's alright. If you've ever hit that state you know what I'm talking about. Everything was mellow and awesome at the same time. We ended the night at Taco Bell, which of course, was the most delicious thing ever. Then the meal devolved into everyone trying to throw sauce packets down the front of everyone else's shirts. Except me, I watched with bemused detatchment. Thankfully, we didn't get thrown out.

The reason I got out of work so late was that we had a corporate inspection yesterday, and everyone was there until after 10pm which meant that pretty much no actual work could happen until they left. The inspection went okay. So I ended up staying over yesterday, and the day before that we did a bunch of extra cleaning so we stayed late (and I had come in early to do an orientation for some new hires). I also did 8 more interviews yesterday in the time before all inspection hell broke loose. Then I had to go in today (well I did have to) to finish the crew schedule. It has been a looooong week.

Other than that I've just been relaxing and decompressing today.
