fired

this evening, right after dinner, the weirdest thing in which i've been involved in a very long time transpired. i was out at avanti, this little restaurant off the loop down melville, getting dinner after trial class and before karaoke. i was up at the register, settling my tab with the manager. as he's taking my payment for my meal, a guy in jeans, a t-shirt, and a sideways hat walks into the restaurant.

manager: what are you doing here? you're supposed to be here at 12! it's 9!
guy: ::shrugs::
manager: what are you doing here? it's 9 o'clock!

manager turns to me

manager: you judge him!
me: what?
manager: you judge him! what do you think about someone who's supposed to show up at 12, and he's here at nine?
me: twelve at night? he's three hours early?
manager: no! twelve in the morning!
me: tomorrow?
manager: today! he was supposed to be here at 12 today! he's here at 9! he's nine hours late!

manager turns back to guy

manager: you were nine hours late! i'll have her judge you.
me: what do you mean, judge?
manager: should i fire him? if you were the manager, would you fire him for being nine hours late?
me: is it the first time he's been late like that without telling you?
manager: no! he's done it a hundred times!
guy: well, not a hundred.
me: if i were the manager, and i had someone who repeatedly came in late without telling me, i guess i would fire him.
manager: that's it, then. you're fired. get out of here.

holy awkwardness, batman. i think i got some dude fired today. i'm still taken aback that he put me on the spot like that.

whoohoo!

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! the Evil Awful Environmental Moot Court Brief Of Doom is DONE!!!!!!! i was running around the hallways with my partner SQUEAKING WITH GLEE when we printed and stapled those final drafts of the paper!!!!!!!

such a huge weight off my shoulders.

and, i even slept last night! it was only two hours of fitful sleep on the law school couches, from 3:30 until 5:30, but i slept!

life is good.

barrister's

i'm so sleepy.

i want to go to bed, and not wake up until it's time to go to barrister's tomorrow night.

barrister's is going to be so much fun. i'm going to be in a shiny dress, with my shiny new shoes and purse that i got on monday, and the really shiny necklace that hilabeans made me. i'm going to look shiny. barrister's is going to be full of shiny.
