quitters never win. except now.

so i work monday through thursday, 8am to 6:30pm.
it is monday afternoon, 12:21pm, and i am in my pajamas under my blankets, watching "dogma" in my room with the shades pulled down, so i can slip my hungover brain into sleep mode whenever i feel like it.

how do i explain this?
i'm quitting my job. i need to go in today to get my paycheck (which i shouldn't have to do, but friday was bullshit). when i do, i'm going to hand them my swipe card and say hasta la vista and hope it was a good decision.

although i'm really not known for making a lot of those lately.

anyhow, this means that i'm back to job hunting, which sucks. especially in the middle of july. especially in duluth, where having no waitressing experience will really kill your chances of getting anything.

i just can't work there anymore, though. i've been contemplating quitting for a really long time, and i woke up this morning with newfound initiative -- i'm done, and that's that.

i just apparently need to do it in the next hour & a half, otherwise i'll have to wait until tomorrow. bitches won't even let me quit on my own time.

so if anyone hears of any job openings that are remotely close to where i live (seeing as i don't have a car and will be walking &/or taking the bus), passing them along to me would be the neighborly thing to do. wwjd, kids.

it's been brought to my attention that i forgot to do the sunday 5 yesterday. thanks for keeping me on my toes.

the sunday monday 5.
1. the doobie brothers: jesus is just alright.
this song is so damn catchy. there's not really a lot to it until it slows down in the interlude-ish part, but even then, it's a pretty skimpy song. you love it, you know it.

2. steely dan: my old school.
another catchy-ass tune. my problem with this song is that i know a lot of the words, but in patches, so i really have no clue what this song is about. i could never figure out what guadelajara had to do with him never going back to his old school. the really cool part of this song is that the guitar solos get increasingly more amazing as the song goes on. and the harmonies are awesome. i don't know how boys can sing that high. especially post-pubescent boys... who were really in their mid-forties when they recorded this song.

3. dj danger mouse: 99 problems.
i love a good mashup. i think this was probably the first one i'd ever heard, so i've got a soft spot in my heart for it. this is brilliant. hearing jay-z declare that he isn't having any issues with women and then hearing that kickass riff from "helter skelter" is one of the better moments in music from the last five years.

4. red hot chili peppers: on mercury.
the peppers take on the ska genre. i generally don't like ska music (except the live version of "trapped in a box" by no doubt from their vh1 storytellers and that song by five iron frenzy about the evil plan to save the world.. or whatever that is), but this definitely has an rhcp twist to it. the bassline is so fucken quality, as usual, and i think there's some cool steel drum action towards the end. nice.

5. tina turner: better be good to me.
tina turner kicks ass. she just kicks ass.
"AND I REALLY DON'T SEE! WHY IT'S SO HARD TO BE! GOOD TO ME! AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND! WHAT'S YOUR PLAN! THAT YOU CAN'T BE! GOOD TO ME!"

i feel as if i should add another track for lateness' sake, but i have to be at work in the next 55 minutes, and i smell like booze and cigarettes and should probably not leave my last impression at that.
