too mad to sleep.
stayed up until 3 rereading everything in my fanfic folder. yeah. that eomer/lothiriel story would've been great if i'd ever finished it. i had some great moments in there with faramir. oh well.

i was calmed down enough to go to sleep around 3ish, but i'm awake again now and can't sleep.
i'm just all sore-muscled and my feet hurt, and....

my plans for today (another day off, since my schedule blows this week):
1) go to craft or office supply store and purchase nice blank photo album
2) go to grocery or drug store and use their special printers to print out my digital photos of Scout
3) put photos of Scout into photo album
4) wrap
5) mail to Katy and Adam as Xmas gift to take to Iraq with them.

Can I do this?
NO.
Because I have $9 to my name.
That I made in tips at the bar that lets me make tips.
The $50 I made last night, that would have made this possible?
Went home with my trainer. Because I'm Training.

So what am I going to do today except feel wretched?

God, why didn't I go to the other bar and work there instead? I know they had me scheduled for the Landmark. I would make Penny $100 a shift when I was training there. I could've gotten photo albums for Mom and Dad too.


I hate being single-mindedly bitter but I'm so upset about this. I know, I know-- wait until next week, you'll have money then.
But see, Katy's leaving for Iraq the first or second week of January. If I don't mail this crap in time, it's going to sit in the back room of her house in Georgia for A YEAR. While she's IN IRAQ.
WITHOUT HER PUPPY.

It's sort of the point of the gift. So the "patience" thing? Eeeven less attractive than it usually is.

I'm so sorry. It most certainly isn't fair, and in fact my first reaction was to wonder whether the 'trainer' was lying about it, in order to get the tips (though I suppose she would get caught out if she did that).

Maybe you could just get the pictures printed and bind them together yourself, instead of buying a book. Wish I had something lying around to give you, but I don't.

Well, it costs money to get the pictures printed, too.
Dave offered to spot me the cash but we made christmas cookies instead today.

No, the trainer wasn't lying-- she'd probably have made more in tips if she had been allowed to just work as a server that night. (I know, because I watched the waitress count her tip jar and it was more than the bar's.)
So I believe her, that she's convinced I'm trained and she's going to talk to the owner today (since she works today). And I talked to the girl who's supposed to come in on Thursday to train me, and she doesn't want to come in because that's a night off for her.
So, at least nobody's being crooked about it.
