A lot of this has gone on facebook, so anyone who cares probably already knows: I have a new job, working as a cashier at Best Buy. I've been working about a week, still don't have my own register numbers so I'm technically still in training ( Read more... )

Shreveport: dinner with Mom at the restaurant where Rachel works, some Christmas presents (yay Walmart giftcards). Visiting Dad and Joan. Telling them I'm contemplating taking some time off after grad school, either working at the bookstore or traveling a bit or something to get me out of the scholastic/academic world for a little while ( Read more... )

I'm getting really excited about VoodooFest. I'm getting more used to the experience, so it's becoming more enjoyable. Additionally, not going with the crazy ginger makes a huge difference ( Read more... )

It's been kind of a while, so here's an update in bolded keyword sections!

Happy birthday, Sharii!! (Even though it's after midnight and thus technically no longer your birthday)

I love my job, I love my job, I HATE MY CUSTOMERS. Not all of them, mind you. I've converted a handful into Jim Butcher fans, and some are just nice people. Probably I don't hate even most of them.

ginni's wedding was beautiful. I took pictures; they'll be up on facebook sometime tomorrow probably. I am so, so exhausted ( Read more... )

I am about to LOSE MY DAMN MIND. I have been waiting for a solid year for Jacqueline Carey to publish her new book, Naamah's Kiss. The release date is June 24. It is ON THE SHELF AT THE BARNES AND NOBLE THREE MILES AWAY RIGHT NOW. And I can't buy it! Why, you ask? Because I work at Borders and I can't turn down the $9 my employee discount will save ( Read more... )

Minor issues arose with work schedules this week-- the number of hours our store is allotted for payroll got cut, which means all the employees' hours got cut. Except apparently that doesn't start until the next time a new schedule is drawn up, so I'm working 22 hours between Sunday and Wednesday (that's a shift a day, four days in a row). I'm then ( Read more... )

I scheduled my classes for UNO! Starting in August 22(?), my schedule will be ( Read more... )
