please remember your wasted life

today is weekly inspection day, please refer to manual. the words loom on the screen of my printer every friday. they bluntly remind me that ive spent yet another week working here at the one hour photo.

i need to write my paper on lincoln steffens. i had to read his autobiography for my intro to mass media directed studies class. dr. simons told me "so-and-so said that if you haven't read to autobiography of lincoln steffens then you haven't been educated." it's a great book, i would highly recommend it.

today it has been so slow. its 2:15 and we've done about 7 rolls of film so far. i don't mind though, it gives me more time to write. we hired a new girl. well, jack hired a new girl. "we" didn't have anything to do with it. before he hired her i told him that i was quitting so he needed to hire someone who could take my place. ive never met her, but apparently she's our classic applicant: 18 years old, bubbly handwriting, went to sagus high, shot pictures at magic mtn, took some classes at coc. maybe she'll be really nice, but i doubt she'll want to take out the trash.
