I stayed awake, and took care of the dog. I made it to work early, and the day was mostly cool. I used my humor to make everything less horrible. My acid levels didn't reach the monstrous proportions that I expected them to, which was a nice surprise. I worked with DJ, Bryan, Bill, Joe & Kyle. Last week, or the week before I helped this woman in the store who thought she was going to faint; she got really dizzy and sat down in the store. Bryan got her a chair, and when she came to the counter where I was working, I could tell she was still not herself. I talked her through a lot of it, and I talked to her 5yr old grandson Zach who was really freaked out. I bought her 2 bottles of cold water, and I walked them to their car, letting her lean on me. I offered to drive them home, but she said she was feeling better. I stayed and talked to them for quite awhile, because I wanted to make sure that she was ok before she drove off with Zach in tow. She seemed to be a lot better, and she said she lived very close by, so I said goodbye. Anyways - the point of all that, is she left a card for me at work last week which I only just got today, thanking me for all the help. It was a very long, descriptive card, and she said that Zach now referres to Hollywood Video as "Jason's Place". She found out the trouble she was having was medicine related, so we don't have to worry about her now. And when DJ (who was with me when I opened the card/letter) saw/heard what she'd said about me, he asked if he could keep the card for awhile so he could show all the district managers at some meeting within the next 2 weeks! The helping her just seemed like common sense at the time, but now it might help higherups look at our store differently, so that rocks.

I went to McDonald's after work. When I was little I used to go there constantly, but I seldom if ever go these days. It wasn't that big a deal, but it did the trick, and I didn't have any bad reactions to it, which was a nice surprise. I picked up Mark, and we rushed home to see what the dog had done now, but she seemed to have behaved herself while we were out. Mark wanted to go get the reflector for the photographs we're taking tomorrow, but decided to get it tomorrow before the pictures are taken. I went to bed (at last), while Mark & Heidi watched the new Stitch movie that comes out Tuesday. I rented a movie for myself, but I don't know that I'll actually watch it.

Now I'm awake, and considering going out. I don't know that I'm up for Necto. I could at least go to Aut Bar. If gas wasn't so expensive I'd maybe go to City Club. My myspace profile has been playing Dead Can Dance for a week, so that's put me in the mood... but I just changed it to 24 by Jem, in honor of the sure to be pretty (but probably very lame) Ultraviolet movie coming out on Tuesday; the song plays in the movie trailer.

Well, I'm off.
