oh fuck. i think i'm in for it big-time. i might've lost my birth certificate. my mom gave it to me monday morning to use as payroll ID with the new job under explicit instructions to not lose it. and guess what i did. i lost it. well, i guess i didn't really "lose" it. i actually just have no idea what happened to it. i forgot to go to payroll monday, so i swear i never took it out of my bag. i found my social security card in my nightstand tonight, so that eliminates the need for the birth certificate, but it still doesn't explain where the hell it is. hmm.

this double-job thing is pretty tiring. i work at one place morning through afternoon, then i leave and go to the other until the evening, then i come home, work out, veg for about an hour, and then go to bed. i hope the extreme exhaustion i've felt so far this week is merely an adjustment period. if not, i'm in for a looong summer.

today at the capital, the dayside production crew threw honey a "surprise" birthday party (i.e., she knew it was coming, but she wasn't allowed to look as we set it up). i know it sounds hokey, but damn, these people are just so nice and fun to be around. it really makes all the difference. we had oodles of atkins-approved food (honey's on the diet): turkey, seven-layer dip, liverwurst, vegetable and fruit platters, stuffed mushrooms. and i made grilled salmon, which everybody seemed to inhale. next week, we're having another "surprise" party for barbara's birthday. i think i'm going to make her a survivor torch for shits and giggles.

listening to the new radiohead. interesting, but it's not leaping out of the stereo the way most of the other albums did. then again, i've heard it compared to OK computer the most by reviewers, and it took me a few years to warm up to OK computer. (sorry, i'm a bends man.) maybe it's a headphones album. i should devote a future entry to discussing it and blur's think tank. i'm backlogged on music.
