Physical therapy was weird - apparently I look like I've gained 3-4 pounds? WHAT? HOW ON EARTH!? Oh yes - not eating and puking up what you do eat is definitely a recipe for weight gain. Gah!
Work sucked. I am floor buffer - I actually enjoy buffing floors - but this guy at work broke one of the machines - this boy also owes me many shifts - and somehow magically can NEVER cover for me! EVER! He was working today - and because he supposedly stinks at actually cleaning - he got assigned to floor buffing and I had to clean - I HATE CLEANING WITH A VEHEMENT BURNING PASSION! And I dont understand why because other guy is incompetent - I have to get punished. What is really frustrating is - whenever there is only one machine - I ALWAYS get assigned cleaning - because they think I won't bitch - but - this is the FOURTH DAY IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED - and OH BELIEVE ME - the was BITCHING, Moaning, crying, the whole works. It makes me really sad that the ONLY way to get your way here is to be a bitch - but apparently it works - other floor buffers make a scene - they get to buff - and nice me has to clean - but oh - I can out-hissy anyone - so hissy there was - I'm not proud of it - but I dont think I'll be cleaning on Saturday - no toilets for me.
Red Wings lost - AGAIN - BLAH!
On the train home - I got out my trusty iphone and started listening to my recording of Satyagraha. I was thinking to myself "you are such an odd girl. You have this bizarre bootlegged recording of this bizarre opera - and you listen to it all the time. How are you ever gonna find people with the same bizarre taste as you. It is pretty cool you have the only known recording though..." Then for some reason, I got curious to see what the dude next to me was listening to. He was scrolling through his ipod, and I thought what bizarre playlists: animals, puppets, Philip Glass...huh - Philip glass, bet that gets a lot of play - not - wait - wait ---- he's clicking on it - he's ---- he's scrolling down through - AKHNATEN? wait - he actually owns akhnaten - I dont even know anyone other than me who has ever heard of Akhnaten - shame - good stuff - great dance music --- still scrolling - Satyagraha --- WHAT! WHAT!!!! WHAT! SATYAGRAHA! HOW DOES HE HAVE SATYAGRAHA!? WHAT! HE IS CLICKING ON SATYAGRAHA! HE IS LISTENING TO SATYAGRAHA! WTF WTF WTF! How is this even POSSIBLE! I must talk to him - this is CRAZY! So I said - am I correct that you are listening ot Satyagraha? So am I? And we talked - and apparently he saw Doctor Atomic and LOVED it -he grew up in New Mexico though and thought they really captured Los Alamos, and adores the Kitty Oppenheimer aria, and is gutted he didnt get to see Satyagraha - but listened to it on the Met radio - and his sister's father in law directed one of the only 8 productions of Akhnaten to ever be produced - at the Atlanta Opera - and then we got to 116th and he got off! I didnt get his name - or anything! GAH GAH GAH GAH GAH GAH!!!!!
But never fear - I am a stalker of the first class! And ---- I found the director of the production of Akhnaten, and I found his son, and I found his son's wife, and her maiden name, then her brother - who grew up in New Mexico and is now living in new york - and I friended him on facebook - probably supremely weirding him out - but oh well. If it's meant to be - he'll just think I'm super cool for finding him. How fabulous would it be to have someone to discuss my weird weird weird taste in operas with! Most excellent!
So today was a mixed bag...
