A total of 2cm is what they said. The “they” snow people.
Because I doubted the accuracy of that number, I stayed home from work today. I
don’t think I am even expected to come in. I'm sure the main streets are
better, but from my bedroom window, it’s a picture of white engulfing white.
How beautiful.
I can’t imagine it being busy anywhere, at least anywhere
that does not sell sex or drugs. They say those things are a necessity.
Yesterday it wasn't this bad, and yet we still had a total of maybe 9 customers come
into the bank. One of those customers was a man who I regularly see. We always
meet eyes, and I’m sure I smile like an idiot, but I get nothing in return.
Surprisingly I have never had him at my wicket. He’s always a little too far
away. My mind wanders at moments like these, and I picture myself being pushed
up against the bathroom stall during my shift by a married man who is sick of
it all. Middle of the day fantasies are very telling about the kind of person
you are, I think. I guess I am a bitch. Or maybe all these episodes of Shameless
combined with the plethora of suited and
ring-bearing men walking into the bank are inspiring my inner harlot.
Washington Phillips helped me wake up, and I spent some time
on lumosity. I feel my neuronal growth accelerating already. Mr. Phillips
though. Fuck. I could be drenched in adrenaline and ready to stab someone in
the face, but if I hear that voice I will stop mid-sprint and fall into a pool
of relaxation.
I feel like I should write more. I have been reading a book per week for a while now and with two jobs, that leaves little time for anything else. I have been knitting too thanks to Trinny at the retirement home where I volunteer. My first day at the place Trinny, this 92 year old lovely lady with a Russian accent, walked right up to me, put her hand on my face, and told me I looked like Audrey Hepburn. So later when she offered to teach me how to knit, I could not fathom declining the offer. Also, I have always wanted to knit. I'm getting pretty good too. Lately, I have been working on what was meant to be a sea blue scarf, but I ran out of sea blue yarn. Maybe I will make it into a single leg warmer or something.
