I worked meals today, which means I go and sit at the front of the cafe and count with a clicker the number of people who are attending conferences who choose to dince at Eastern. I sat from 7-9 and no one came in. I sat from 12-1 and 5 people came in. I sat from 4:30-6 and 450 came in, but we had to stay open until 6:30 until the other 100 showed up.
I worked for an hour and a half after lunch because the regular staff needed help. I enjoy monotonous and tedious work because I can think during it.
This day has generally been less than fun. Of course, that is largely because I did nothing special or out of the ordinary to make it exciting.
A bolt of lightning nearly killed my roommate last night. That is extremely scary.
I have decided that it is much more difficult to be a genuinely nice person than it is to be a jerk. However, it is not fun at all to be a jerk. I remember when I was one. It sucked. I am not a jerk anymore. Or at least I don't think I am. Tell me if I am. It is much more fun and rewarding to be nice to people.
I edited my poem for Ann during breakfast shift and made feeble attempts at composing haikus. I like haikus.
I finished reading The Poet and the Donkey by May Sarton. Go
here to read about it.
I'm going to walk in to town now to return a movie for lack of anything better to do. Then I think I will watch my Led Zeppelin dvd for lack of anything better to do.
I'm a dreamer.
Love you all.
