"ya gotta keep on looking up!"

that's a song quote from the O.C. Supertones. anyways, i went to work last night. it was okay. there was a local football team that came. and practically trashed the place.(and all i have to show from that is a penny!) i have this system down whenever i clear tables after people leave. usually i pile all the trash on the plates, and then take it back. but this time i just worked my way down the line in clearing dishes. it made me feel like i was actually getting something done. but i made many trips into that room and out. and there were some other people in other places, so i had to keep checking on them. but it wasn't that bad.

by the time i left, i was really fed up with everyone swearing. fortunately i planned ahead and grabbed my Audio Adrenaline "Audios" CD when i went out the door. so when i left work, i got to drive on the Pike to "Big House". and then by the time i was on one of the roads leading back to town, i was listening and singing along with "Never Gonna be as big as Jesus". it made me feel really good.

also, at work, we saw some deer in the empty lot next to the building. there's a forest area near the building. at one point, there were two families standing looking out the window with fasinated lookds on their faces. so i went over to see what they were looking at. there were five deer hanging out in that lot. i guess they were eating dinner, but i'm not sure. it was cool because there were some little kids there at the time, so they really had fun watching this. i told them they came on the right night. so we watched them for a little longer and then watched them go back into the forest. the one dad asked me if we saw stuff like this often. i told him that was my first time seeing anything like that. but it was weird seeing such a peaceful animal near such a busy road. it just isn't an area where anyone would expect to see any deer.

and i would like to thank all of you for all your encouragement. i was able to read all your comments this morning. hopefully today will be a bit better.
