Shit.

Oh Thanksgiving weekend, you are my friend. Not only do I get five days off in a row (kind of a mistake, I forgot to tell them I didn't need all the time off because I didn't end up going to Ohio for Thanksgiving) but I get to miss Black Friday and the almost equally terrifying weekend the follows it. Sucks to someone workin' retail right now ( Read more... )

So uh, yeah. I'm not sure how many of you knew about this, but last weekend was Fran's, Merit's and my first concert as a semi-official "band". We were actually opening for Fran's mom, who's a well-known singer/song-writer who used to live in Fairfield and comes back for occasional performances, and she asked us to do it about a month or two ago ( Read more... )

My first nine-hour shift today. Le ouch. Wasn't as bad as I thought, though, mainly because it was employee appreciation day, which meant large quantities of free food and even some free money (I won thirty dollars in a drawing). That, and I got off early because we were so slow. In fact, although it might have just been the large quantities of ( Read more... )

Yeah, so apparently I'm signed up for NaNoWriMo. What makes me think I can write a 5,000-word novel within the course of a month while working full time and actually having somewhat of a social life, when I could barely manage this feat last year when I was unemployed and lived in a hole, I do not know. I do...not...know ( Read more... )

It's rainy today. I'm curled up with a comforter and a couple kitties watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Fran, and in an hour or so we'll meet Banks for pizza and then head to Yes Shame (the high-school version of No Shame) and later No Shame itself, seeing as this is No Shame's 20th-anniversary celebration week (if you were wondering, ( Read more... )

So, it's pretty much Saturday morning. I'm pretty much at the library. I'm pretty much operating on approximately four hours of sleep. I think I am still vaguely inebriated. I haven't eaten anything but Kool-Aid powder and chocolate milk in about fifteen hours. (Not together, though, I assure you. Although now that you mention it, I can't say ( Read more... )

Got the job at Ben Franklin's. I went in for the interview this morning and blabbed about how much I love crafts and people and organizing shit and she hired me. So that's cool, I guess. I really am excited about working with craft stuff and talking to people about craft stuff all day long, and the people who shop there and work there seem, if ( Read more... )

Wow, is this really the second time I've posted today? Man, I am like a posting fiendMeh. Tired. Most likely due to afore-mentioned chest-pain-induced lack of sleep. Have to get up all early-like tomorrow, too. I've got a job interview (with Ben Franklin, moderate amounts of enthusiasm), then I'm looking at a couple apartments, then I'm ( Read more... )
