I was scheduled to help with the stock crew today. They start at six....in the morning! Which means, I had to rise out of bed at five....in the morning!
Anyone that knows me already knows Vicki and morning are not friends. I never say silly things like "Good morning", for example. Now, I knew there was a five o'clock in the afternoon, I've seen it, I like it. That's when class is over and I go get tacos. Me and five p.m. are tight. But, there is another five o'clock...it's in the morning, waaaaay before 7 a.m, which is when I used to get up when I worked in Amarillo. And I thought that was early, but it's not as early at 5 a.m.
Whoever gets up at that ungodly hour - on purpose - has got to be loose in the head. There is absolutely nothing worth doing or seeing at this hour. Trust me, I witnessed it today.
As I drove to work, I saw a guy jogging. Yes! Jogging at five-thirty in the morning! First of all, I don't understand that time of the morning, second, I don't understand this person jogging, third, I really don't understand this person jogging at this hour! Unless he's training for another Rocky movie or some sort of marathon, I feel sorry for this guy who is obviously insane in the membrane.
Back to me now. There is an R. Kelly song that starts out "my mind's telling me no, but my body is telling me yes...." I was singing this part of the song in my head because I normally think and feel like I'm still 25, but today I was saying "Vicki, you're forty years old, what the hell are you doing up at this hour going to work at a part-time job?" So, today, my mind was telling me "no, you can't be 40, you're 25" and my body was telling me "yes, yes, you are 40."
Then I had to go to class. My group project this week is designing a decade. My group got the 70's. Thanks, not only am I old enough to be everyone in my group's mother, I was also born in the 70's.
