So, my first day of work went really well. ^___________^ I only messed up a few little things on the register, adn they were easily fixed, I was working beside people all day. But I learned to use the register, checked in and priced and put away new stock, blew up balloons, took an order for balloons, cut wrapping paper, and about 80,000 other little things. Everyone's really really nice though, and all said it's like months before anyone knows most of the procedure around there, there's just sooo muuuuch of eeeeverything, heh.
It's air-conditioned, thank goodness, and my feet only got a little sore toward the end of the six hours I was there. Everyone's very friendly, it's very causal and comfortable and things, and everyone makes fun of each other, hee.

The minute I got home, Tom was in the kitchen and met me at the door with a glass of ice water. <3 Stepped inside, and he handed me today's mail:

- Sigur Ros' "Saeglópur" single (with three new songs, and a dvd with the videos for "Saeglópur", which I haven't seen, "Hoppípolla", which's cute, and "Glósóli", which is...breathtaking <3), which I ordered from amazon.uk and wasn't expecting for another few days at least.

- My diploma. ...I think it's finally sunk in, I'm a college graduate. Seeing it printed there...I have a degree.
Holy crap.
