What? I have to work?

So I have a really, REALLY easy job. I work at a hair salon, where the actual salon part isn't open, and no one really knows that it exists, so I just sit for 10 hours a day waiting for someone to come in and maybe buy some shampoo. I do a lot of internet...work. I frequently update on the status of the world. Who's relationship has changed, who's got the most capturing photos that day. It's quite intense. You also would be surprised at how much time shopping can make fly by on the net.

But today, I had to WORK!? Inventory? Stocking? The nerve! The disgrace! What a scandal!? But, but but, this is not like every other day where I get to do nothing! Don't they know who I am? Don't I get a fair warning that I might have to do something for my next shift? But I LOVE having the hours drag by minute by minute for ten straight hours. ITS GREAT.....What about all my important networking and chatting and status updating I have to do!? Don't they know about that? I feel like I'm completely detached from the world....

So I'm not really like that. I love technology, but I swear I'm addicted, obssessed. If it weren't for the internet, I literally would go STARK RAVING MAD. Many say, "Take a book! Use your time!" Yeah easy for you to say. When you just sit for several hours, reading makes you want to fall asleep and then your brain feels like mush and you can't think. I mean this blog is a perfect example. (you better not agree with me) :) The more complicated and over the top technology gets, the more I feel like it's a necessity to living. And what's interesting is that modern technology has re-introduced me to old technology. I found a vintage record player online (craigslist of course) for 40 bucks and I've now spent over a 100 dollars on the player and records because I'm hooked....It's old. It's chic. It's so vintage. I'm so cool. Step aside Ipod, my new friend vinyl 33 is back in town.

So what's next, when I get tired of changing the record side after 4 songs, will I go out and get a music chip inserted into my ear? Will I get an i skip- shuffle -hop- jump that's the size of a penny? Or will I get mid technology and revisit cassette tapes.....? Mmmmm... no cassettes were never cool in my book. I hate rewinding and fast forwarding. God, who thought of that nonsense? Waste of the 80's era of inventions if you as me.

I should try going one day without using anything invented after the year... oh...let's say 1950. I could still drive, I could turn on the lights, and I could watch TV. It could be dangerous, very dangerous, but interesting. Did they have microwaves then? Mmmm that could cause problems at home.


So anyways, where I was going with this was: I actually had a work day where half of it was spent working. For the first time. I think we often forget how easy some of us really have it. I mean what beats getting paid to sit and wear black? Do we really need all this technology? Should we take a step back and detox from technology (yes I know I'm writing an online blog. Get over it) as our playground, our library, our newspaper? Maybe, yes maybe we should. I almost did it today!

But I did have to take a break from working because my I left my cell phone in my car. Had to check for texts.....You know how it is.
