NaNo Progress and Scheduling ((+ Twilight hatred))
((First off, I'd like to note that yes... I've decided to stop being as much of a paranoid freak about posting on my lj. Things that have innately private information or personal feelings, I will likely still make friends only posts about, but for the most part I'm going back to a public journal. My writing journal, however, will remain friends only.))
~~~~~~~~~~
I realize that I haven't been posting almost daily word counts. I also assume that since anyone who knows me really well knows how excited this month makes me, that you might be thinking this means I haven't written anything. Thankfully, you would be mistaken. ^_^ I have several hand-written pages (something like 14 or more of which were written during my kiosk shifts the past week) I simply can't seem to find the time to type them all up. So I don't have an active word count at the moment.
I haven't had a day off since middle of the week last week, and I won't again until Thursday, so my only chances of seeing people are hanging out with Mike and Cap'n-- and occasionally Nik and Ariel and even Joanna a couple of times :3 -- in the evenings after work. And as much as I love writing, I would rather be able to not feel completely isolated from the people I care about right now. I'm in far too bad a place for that mentally at the moment-- although writing does help the Kitty feel good in different ways.
Either way, I hope to work more on getting everything typed up within the next few days and hopefully I'll have a word count to share with everyone.
That said, here's my schedule for the next week:
Saturday (today)
1:30-10
Sunday
2-7
Monday
1-4:30 store
5-9:30 kiosk
Tuesday
10-6:30
Wednesday
5-10
Thursday
OFF
Friday
1-4:30 store
5-9:30 kiosk
Saturday
4:30-10
*sigh*
I asked her about this next Saturday. (Hear that Allison?) I requested if there was a way for her to change it so that I could work Saturday morning instead of evening. She kinda frowned and said that "I must have had some reason... Let me take a look." (I'd like to interrupt my own story here, by saying that I've yet to figure out the important reason for me closing today.) And glanced at the schedule and then informed me that it was because of an event we were doing. That I was the only experienced person who could work it.
This made me stop and think and... With the exception of the Manager and Assistant Manager I've been there the longest. o_O? And I've only been there since July...
But here's the real kicker. The thing that makes me _really_ want to strangle some people. The vent we're doing next Saturday? Is a week early TWILIGHT kickoff for the movie that opens on the 21st or 22nd or whatever.
....
I have to miss Captain's game... in favor of catering to a throng of Twi-harding fangasms...
Hopefully I won't get lynched when I finally snap and tell someone that no, I haven't read it because I got less than halfway through the first one and just couldn't stomach anymore. Because it sucks. And I hate it. And that it makes my soul wither and die to know that _THAT_ became a bestseller when I'll probably never have anything published if only because I don't have the balls to send anything in.
