Before the cream sits out too long you must whip it

Shawshank, September 26, 2025

I drugged myself last night with allergy pills. I think it worked. I think I only got up once, which is freaking great. I didn’t have to get up and blow my nose, and all that happy horse shit. So yeah, I had a solid sleep.

There was so much shit going on yesterday at work. BossLady was gone early again. But me and my coworker can handle any shit slung our way. And the shit was slung pretty early in the day. The gas pumps stopped working, and in flurries of texts between BossLady, and her boss, her boss – let’s call him daddy. It’s a joke but that’s what he’s in my contacts as (it’s a long long story, that I don’t have the skills to put into words), well long story short, he told us to stop selling gas.

I put up signs on the pumps, and some pylons down. Then we spent the next couple of hours basically reading off the sign to the customers coming in. I watched one drive around the pumps (which have the same signs and pylon), park in the middle of the lot and walk into the store.

“Can’t get gas? Why not?”

“Pumps are broken.”

“So… no gas then, huh?”

Stares at them. “Nope, that’s why the pylons are up.” I say with a smile, so they don’t think I’m just being an asshole.

Repeat as necessary. I think we had to tell people like 4 or 5 times.

Back at it again this afternoon. Hopefully the pumps are working when we get there. In the past, the pumps have always just crapped out in the afternoon, only to die again the next afternoon.

Coffee first!

I made it to work on time, and proceeded to do all the opening stuff related to opening a retail establishment. I got that done, and one or two bonus tasks, and then we were open. It was slow at the beginning, but slowly, it picked up. Thankfully, the opening shift is only 7 hours.…

Good morning! Hap hap happy Thursday! It’s dark, breezy and cold. No snow though, I think we sent all of our snow down to Buffalo. They’re expected to get three or four feet by the end of Saturday. Since I put the bricks in front of the laundry doors, Pippin has been pissed that she…

Awake! I must have been cold last night/this morning, because I tried to burrito in the bed, so I had to fix the bed, because it looked like a bomb went off on it. We were joking around last night and told BossLady that when she was done her phone call she should go and…
