see! even my drivers license says i'm only 21
well folks as sad as it may sound, tonight was the first saturday night i've had out in a lllooooonnngggg time. i'd say night out full stop but there was that incident a few weeks ago when we had a few drinks for staff members farewell. anyway...
tonight S and i went and saw eskimo joe play in concert for (and i kid you not) the 5th or 6th time this year. i love those guys. once again they played an excellent show and even threw in a few new songs we hadn't heard before. bonus! however it was an all ages gig which we weren't aware of when we purchased our golden tickets and therefore had to stand in the middle of 100 15-18 yr old girls, hyped up on god knows what all excited to be at a concert. not entirely pleasant but we were some of the tallest people there so that has to be a plus. after leaving the establishment we waddled (we have very bad backs and dancing/jumping is not good for them... also my feet hurt *insert sympathy here*) to the car and when i finally made it home it was 12:30... dad was still awake and VERY surprised to see me walk in, get changed and proceed to walk out again.
[dad] "WHERE ARE YOU GOING NOW?"
[me] to a 21st.
[dad] at this time?!?
[me] yes
[dad] but it'll be over
[me] its not, i rang
[dad] but you should be sleeping, you don't rest enough, you can barely walk... stay here and make me a coffee
[me] dad i'll be fine, i don't have to work tomorrow (woohoo!) and besides, i'm meant to be going out i'm young! i'm only 21 dammit it says so on my drivers license!!!
[dad] *grumble grumble*
arrived at said party and thought *i should be at home, in bed, resting - damn you dad (shakes fist)* lasted over and hour and a half then volunteered to drive another friend home as she wasn't feeling well. a nice gesture some may say but it was purely so i could go home too without guilt.
i think i'm old.

oh you are not old!!!*insert squishy hug here* Wait till you get to my age when the very thought of going on a carnival ride fills your spine with terror!
PS why aren't you at work today???? There's absolutely no point in me going over to hire if you won't be there!!
i'm not at work today because my legs and back are so sore i can barely stand up - and forget about walking. i've also decided that the $100 i'd be passing up by rostering someone else on is not worth my sanity *just freaking out that i gave up $100*. besides... think of it like training, you're going to have to get used to being served by the new staff cos i've only got 2 weeks left. just don't forget your i.d!
