Friday: My regular shift got cancelled because the office had been dead all day and they weren't expecting any work. This means I'll be out 100-ish dollars from my check (because I'm a temp and only get paid when I'm there), but worse, am concerned this is the beginning of the end at a job that's been a fairly steady source of income for over ( Read more... )

Workin' for a Livin'Have been working like a dog this past week. I don't know if I mentioned that one of the law firms I work at regularly has brought me on as a perma-temp. I haven't mentioned much personal stuff lately, but I can't tell you what a welcome difference it is to know how the bills will be getting paid for the foreseeable future. I ( Read more... )

Work
Well, I've effectively (if not efficiently) shipped off my boss, 8 adult counselors, and 40 campers (grades 4-8) to sports camp for the week. Every year it's always hairy and I always forget something that makes things more complicated, but I think it went well. So I'm kind of on my own this week, which is both good and not-so-good.

The insane portion of my brain was in charge when I agreed to "host" a Dramatic Arts Festival that is being held at my church. Now, by "host" I mean pretty much sitting at the front desk and making sure people can get into the door and our gated parking. It's going to be about 10 hours today and roughly 9 tomorrow. And the people who are running ( Read more... )

* I love this icon to bits. It never fails to make me laugh.

* Watched The Life Aquatic last night. I love Wes Anderson's deadpan sense of humor. It's a perfect fit for Bill Murray. I had heard lukewarm things about it when it was in theaters, but I highly enjoyed it. Willem Dafoe's Klaus, the cute little Zissou musical theme, the "bond ( Read more... )

* It's been awfully busy at work today, and I'm glad it's over. If I never see another balloon again, it will be too soon.

* Going to see RotS in IMAX tonight. *bounces* The line party should give me plenty of time to finish The Quiet Gentleman, and perhaps start on something else. I've been trying to stay away from reviews. I don't want to ( Read more... )

Talking! Incessant talking in the office! Can't concentrate! Please shut up everyone!!!11

Have been away from computer all day, because a virus is infecting some of the computers in our network. My cubemate, the Techno Kween, has spent most of her day trying to get me back up and running. *loves* You don't realize how much you've been hypnotized by the computer until you have to spend a day without it. I've actually been able to get ( Read more... )
