Its really christmas again

Nancey Botwin on the Showtime show Weeds, during season 5, is required by the Mexican drug cartel to manage a maternity store. There is a line in one of the episodes where she compares her life to when she was doing the drug smuggle, police evading, and the dirty money shuffling to her new life where she is in charge of a front for the Mexican drug cartel. There is a line where she describes going to work, taking her brain out of her head and placing it in the drawer below the cash register. She then goes on to describe how at the end of her work day she pick her brain back out of the drawer and places it securely back into her head at the end of the day, she then gets to think about her family again and the stresses of life.
This described my day today, I went to work, took my brain out, set it in the locker next to my cellphone, and placed my neatly folded cardigan on top of both of these precious commodities. At work I was working the dinning room which basically means busing tables and doing dishes, taking out the trash, and sweeping up the Cheerios that are ground into the carpet after the trendy mothers and their year old children who do not get to eat the delicious corporate factory food we serve get done with their meals. In my old life, last year at this time having to think solely on the dinning room would have been a waste of my middle management huge pay check (sarcastic evil laugh). It was nice to have a good handle on the job, knowing almost all the expectations that were expected and missing a few minor details which in my defense, it was only my second day in charge of keeping the dinning room clean during the lunch rush of black Friday 2009. In the end, i have a good handle on all my job duties already. These statements iare truly minuscule in the grand scheme of things. The best part is i am more a live and free comparatively to where i was a year ago. These are weird statements but make complete sense to me. I should describe them better but i will not.
While i left my brain in my locker it had adequate time to rest so that i can do the end of the semester fever rush to finish all the things i have avoided for the last few months. I also had the opportunity to think about why i have not been listening to country music, i forgot how it important it is for my soul.
Here is the christmas connection, they are playing christmas country music now that it is the day after Thanksgiving, even though most large corpoartions in neatly planned scheme to get their profits up before the end of the year have started celebrating our saviors birth the start of novemember. The Christmas Season seems convoluted to me and i might describe this latter, but i do enjoy songs like this which you can descide how you feel.
