leaving almost as fast as they entered, and as randomly. leaving behind chewed through cereal packaging in the form of wet soggy pieces of cardboard.

i flick a nearby soggy piece of cardboard with my big toe.

it doesnt go far. but i didnt really expect it to.

damn them, i mutter under my breath, damn those garden gnomes.

i talked to the girl today. talked talked, too. she is worried about me, but feels almost like she cant do anything because the one thing i ask of her is near impossible to do.

and the one thing i ask of her is all i really want from her.

and the one thing is to talk to me. i dont care if its about her desk or about her job or some deep inner revelation to me.

she doesnt realize that, i think. i think, instead, she believes when i say talk to me, i mean open up. expose yourself.

tomorrow i work. i forgot i did. good thing i worked this morning for TWO HOURS.

i am ten dollars richer.

this girl who i work with was trying to tell something to lewis. lewis said to say it out loud, i wouldnt care or tell.

she said nah, i havent figured crayon out yet.

made me laugh.
