Miscellanea
I was almost late for work yesterday because when the person on the radio said "the president" and my sleepy brain knew that meant Trump, I turned the alarm off rather than snoozing it, like I was unconsciously hoping if I went back to sleep, I'd find it had been a dream.
My health insurance cards are finally in the mail (or so I'm told). Should have had it before New Years. Two of us are waiting to make appointments until they show up.
I don't know where I heard it, but whoever it was was wrong: chalk markers are not a good substitute for tailor's chalk. Well some of it did wash out or at least fade, so I can use the fine tip white, red and black in the seam allowance.
Somewhere between 7 and 10 percent of the metro area I live in rallied downtown yesterday. As the metro area has half the state's population, that is a pretty good sized chunk of the whole population. I heard they didn't have room to march as the whole parade route was full of people. Next time (which I'm sure they'll be), they should march in a circuit so at least they could do more than stand still.
We are gearing up to Valentine's. I just wrote the schedule, although I'm sure it will be changed half a hundred times in the next few weeks. I scheduled all the people I could, for all the hours I could and still only used half the hours I had at hand, but as my new manager reminds me, we can use that as over time.
I'm hoping we get them partly because I enjoy keeping people busy and I'm good at it as long as I can flit from place to place encouraging, finding new tasks, doing those little things that slip through. And big holidays are the only time I can do this.
I also like doing the accounting part. Balancing the books and counting dollar/hours. Who'd have thought it.
