Yay for double shifts

Turns out that the alternate check-in chick is going to be out Sunday afternoon. I cheerily volunteered to pull a double shift. Yay overtime.

Stressy College Chick presented me with a birthday present -- two sets of three pens! One's an expansion set for the pens I already had before -- these are pink, turquoise, and purple, where the ones I had before are black, red, green, and blue. The other one is big squishy-hold fine-tip pens in black, blue, and red. I was very happy and thanked her multiple times throughout the shift.

Cute Geek Super really needs to clean his language up around figment0. Cute Geek Super didn't understand what was so funny about the way I attempted to shut him down when he started getting onto the topic of the LDS church and porn websites, but from the expression on the Rules Lawyer Monitor's face, she got it.

Fortunately, figment0 has a sense of humor, and the sight of me going through the "Don't talk shit about Mormons in front of a Mormon, you jackass!" dance (without saying that, of course) was evidently hilarious.

I need sleep.

So what am I going to do this November?

Shake it, and see what falls out.
Captain Davidson.
Beauty and the Beast.
Something completely different.

... I must admit, Captain Davidson's been nagging me. I started writing a piece on "Fucking, Nowhere" (a place-name, not an action) on the plane...

R2 who?

Work was ... work.

One guy talked to a fax machine. Not just read the script to the fax machine, but greeted it. "Hello, R2-D2!"

Another girl misread the intro to a survey. "I'd like to ask you a few random questions..."

I wound up taking comfort from figment0 on break, causing some snickering about hurt/comfort.

Now I'm off to Motley's, there to help dredge out until dark o'clock.

Happy birthday to me...

I got an utterly dorky birthday card from a certain best friend (and I'm only just now getting around to sharing a week later).

The front: Birthday Wishes from Gandalf!

( The inside... )

( The back... )

I would not trade my best friend for anything in the world. Except Gandalf's portrayed as kind of ... purple. I'll have to bring that up the next time we talk, and tell him that something about the card Just Isn't Right.

... I've got to find something for next April 1st to top the Spotted Dick of '04.

Double Shift Sunday

Morning, I'm monitoring.
Evening, I'm check-in.

Dishes are running right now so I'll have my c0ff33 mug.

Now, to bed!


No talking-with-Darkside time today, alas. He was out. Maybe tomorrow in a lull?
