more work stuff.

i was complaining all day about how slow the day was going and at some point i said to dan, "i swear to god this day has been slower than any day in history." which is something i have said a couple times before and he always goes, "elizabeth, time always moves at the same speed. you should know this." so this time he goes, "elizabeth, we've discussed this before. time does not slow down. wait, wait, i'll just check something here." i was like, what the hell is he looking up? half the time he "remembers" something to look up on google. well he goes to bbc.com and goes, "nope! see, i'm pretty sure if time slowed down it would be on bbc, if anywhere." ha, ha.

later on we were discussing how he has a new shift next week and he doesn't have to stay late. i said, "well, you do have to be here earlier, you know." and he goes, "i don't care, i'll just come in and sleep at my desk." i said, "oh, really nice. you know, i'm just going to call you every two minutes and say 'are you awake? are you awake? are you awake?'" he freaked out at that. ha! then we compared drivers license pictures. they are equally bad. in mine i look super young and drugged, and in his he looks like "a sex offender" (his words). but he did not see my uw-madison ID, as i didn't have it with me. that's the worst picture in history.

oh yeah. dan has been bothering me to get less sleep because "you lose so much of your life" while sleeping. i maintain that i need 10 hours. he gets 2-4 hours. seriously. so this week i stayed up a little later and almost died, i felt so shitty. i said to him yesterday, "yeah, your not getting as much sleep plan is working out really well for me." he thinks that staying in a bar until closing time will help. he also thinks that if i drink more i will be less clumsy. i don't really act clumsy at work, but the situation was this. i was saying i don't drink very often, and i don't really know how i'd act if i got super drunk every night. he said, "every person has a threshold that their body has to be pushed to every so often, otherwise it builds up in you. are you a little clumsy?" "yes." "see?" "oh yeah. now i see that for all my life lessons i should go to you, the wise dan."

i've been making people laugh more too. at a meeting the other day someone opened the blinds and people were all complaining, and i put my arms in front of my face and said, "no!!! burst into flames! burst into flames!" then explained that i had to say it because i couldn't actually do it. that got a great reaction. :)
