A big democracy cakewalk

Hey kids. I know you've been checking here on the occasion "What's become of our girl?" Well, nothing terribly interesting. I find that working 40 hours a week is pretty time consuming. In a totally different way than going to school full time and working 20 hours a week was. When I get home, I just want to torture Mr. Baby and toss back a couple of pints whilst watching telly.
I had to find a pattern. Now, I've fallen into it and it's quite comfortable. I need a pattern or else I'll go a bit odd(er). Tomorrow is spaghetti night....can't sleep clowns'll eat me...can't sleep clowns'll eat me....
But SRSLY folks. I dig my job. The women I work with are great and we enjoy ourselves. That's something I'm not used to at work. The moments of laughter are genuine.
A favorite:
This fella, he looked downright downtrodden, (but then, I work where "People will just as soon shoot ya as look at you") came up to the desk.
"Ladies, I'm an entrepeneur and I'm selling African American Study Bibles," Katie gave me a look. "I was thinking you two would want to take advantage of my special offer."
I should mention that I am the token white girl, keep that image in mind.
" I don't need one. How 'bout you?" Katie asked.
"Nah, I get all my Bibles from hotel rooms." This is a 100% true statement.
The entrepeneur bows out gracefully.
"Oh no you didn't! I know another mackenzi, and she's the one that said that. Cuz you wouldn't have gone there."
I just laughed. It wouldn't have been nearly as funny if it weren't true.

Today, I was talking to the Mumsy. She was pressing the topic of my brilliance as a writer. ;P
"I don't really want fame, Ma. I wanna be, like, Amy Sedaris famous. Not David, that's a lot to ask. But Amy seems reasonable."
"Amy is pretty damn famous," Mum responded.
"But she's still a major niche market. You could go through a crowd and most people would have no idea who she is."
"That niche market is much larger than any market you're drawing.And besides,if there's anyting you are, it's an acquired taste. You always have been kind of limited in your appeal."
Mummy said that, of all people. Mothers are weird creatures. Meanwhile, Dad is working to resign himself to my desire to move to New York City. He doesn't think it's a good idea, but far be it from him to tell me I can't do something.

As it is-the highlight of my week is Hughsday and watching House. (Speaking of which-how much did you love Wilson saying House has Asperger's as an excuse for his behavior? They are so in heterosexual life partner love. I love RSL and HL--they win the award for awesome for this fiscal year.)

Lest you think I've gone soft:
