Still busy with work, but slowly carving back my sense of self. There was a barbecue over at sales today! Hot dogs make all the annoying emails go down easier.

Saw Together on Monday and our theatre is getting Eddington this weekend (I wasn't sure if we would), so I'm set on the culture front until Fantastic Four (also still riding high from Superman and The Godfather, it's been a good cinemonth!). Still thinking obsessively about various parts of All In Texas (currently: the camera waiting by the heel entrance for Hangman only to have to rapidly pan over when he finally comes out of the good boy hole instead).

Have juuuuust enough free time between work orders to do some windows shopping. I missed the PPV merch sale, so I really shouldn't buy more wrestling t-shirts, particularly one I already own a version of, but A) I can actually wear them at work now!, B) SNAKESKIN PRINT. I've also got a very expensive trench coat open in another tab that I will probably not pull the trigger on, but hnnnng look at all those pockets. I got my first cheque of being salaried the other night, and I'm guessing it was just way higher than usual with my training week on there, too, because it was fully more than twice what I would have made in my old position and I think it's going to my head a little bit. Gotta wait until the end of the month to know how much more I'll actually have to play with on the regular.

Just a couple more hours until I can go home, make noodles, and watch this video of all the best entrances from Y'all In! Ecstasy of Gold almost made me cry when they played it at the pops orchestra concert my mom and I went to a few months back, so this is long-term storytelling, here.

Also, the Internet Archive uploaded a whole bunch of old Canadian fanzines, which rules a whole lot, actually.

29. Should People Give Money to Panhandlers?

Sure, if they want to.

I guess I will write a notepad entry while I wait to be able to do my job again?? Last night we had one of the craziest storms I've ever been in; the trailer was straight up shaking from the force of the thunder alone for about half an hour at its worst. The power only went out once, and just for an instant (long enough to be annoying because while my computer did not turn back on on its own, my bedroom lights decided to for some reason?? I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP), but whatever happened clearly hit the dealership, too, because we have been without internet all day.

I literally can do no part of my new job without the internet!! At least the techs have work to keep them busy (although from what I'm hearing through the door, they're mostly just playing around with their personal vehicles right now), but sales is going to be completely up my ass about all of their pressing concerns that I can't do shit about just yet.

So I've mostly just been reading Emily Climbs outside in the sun for the last few hours and trying not to think about how much shit is piling up in my inbox on the other side of this! The bodyshop gave us chocolate bars, which was nice. I'm thinking about ordering a burrito the instant Mucho opens for delivery, as long as they still have the special red ghost pepper burritos (since they still don't have shrimp on the menu anymore and I REFUSE to frequent them without extra good cause as a result). The only issue with that is that I haven't tried ordering food here before, and I feel like the building is going to be really difficult for drivers to locate. Maybe I'll just stand outside and wave my arms when they get close. Or just tell them to deliver it to the bodyshop, because GOD KNOWS I get a ton of people just strolling into my office thinking the big unmarked building they've wandered into must be that. I don't even know what my address is!!

Finally going to the movies tonight, after more than a weeklong break (but we saw like four the week before last, so it balances out). The Godfather! My mom's never seen it before! Exciting!

The burrito has been ordered. My fate is in god's hands now.

God's name is Harshdeep today.

Anyway, I wrote all of that yesterday morning, and then when I finally got some scraps of internet in the afternoon, I forgot to post it because holy shit so much to do, so enjoy this MISSIVE FROM THE DISTANT PAST. Doing better today. My goals today are to stay on top of my inbox, figure out exactly what is happening with all thirty-something vehicles under my purview, and draw up a chart for the upcoming G1 Climax tournament. The Godfather was fucking sick on the big screen. Let's go!!!

28. Are You a Perfectionist?

I try to be. Real life gets in the way most of the time, though.
