New Pipe

My first real post. Finally. Worked today at 7:30. I was five minutes late. Cathy gave me hell for it. Or at least I think it was because I was five minutes late. It could just be because she's a total bitch. Or because she doesn't like me. Or becuase she resents the fact that I know more than she does. It's probably a combination of all three and a battle I don't think I can win, so is it really worth fighting? Sure, I can get there five minutes earlier but that won't solve everything else.

Got my new pipe today. It's a cheap meerschaum I ordered off the internet mostly because I don't know of any excellent toboccanists here. Also got some tasty tobacco with my order but of course I paid for that too. A couple of pictures below.

The second picture is my favorite - it's so damn close-up and clear. It's cropped and resized but I think it still looks nice. The original kicks ass, trust me. The top picture isn't nearly as nice but it shows off my huge (to me) bag of tobacco. That'll keep me going for a while. As you may notice I've already utilized it twice today so it's no longer pretty and white on the inside but I knew it wouldn't stay that way...that's the point.

My sister left here around 9:30 dressed like a hooch. I'm being serious, she had so much eye makeup on I had to do a double take when I first saw her. Her friend had about ten times as much makeup but this girl should know by now that no amount of makeup is going to fix her. Trust me on this one.

My task now is to move out of this place. It may take a month or two but I've got an "in." A friend of mine lives in an apartment in Lansing. She claims her landlord is awesome and the apartment below her has been vacant for a while. It's only $40 more a month and for an extra bedroom and a lot more space elsewhere, I say go for it. Of course, there's other issues to contend with such as breaking our current lease, coming up with the first month's rent and a security deposit, etc. At least I have a goal.

Working late tomorrow - 11:30 am. That's a nice switch from 7:30 days. But I actually prefer getting home at 4:15 rather than 7:15, so I can deal with the mornings.
