sunday sunday sunday
May. 29th, 2005 09:46 amWeird: I'm scheduled eight and a half hours today. Unlikely I'll actually stay that long, but weird.
This is my first Sunday working not in the Club, which is just strange to contemplate.
I only worked four days this past week, which would explain why I had such a relaxing beginning to the week. I'm annoyed, though, because I was all paranoid they'd cut my hours and there they are doing it, the bastards. But I suppose I would be more annoyed if not for the fact that I still earned more than the week before.
My legs were so sore yesterday, I could hardly walk at the beginning of my shift. Halfway through they switched me to another location, and I must admit, I was a bit glad, even though the other location was much more quiet: I didn't have to walk much at all, or for that matter move. So that was cool, and I got almost an hour of overtime.
I also got two stories to add to airportbartender, which I'd been worried I'd never update again. (Did I ever link to it from here? I never did. AirportBartender is my concession to the lessons of Dooce.com, in that if you're going to blog about work it should be anonymous. It totally fails to take any of her lessons into account, however: I don't whine about work (but rather do that in this blog which is not anonymous), I only write about the things customers say, in a rather un-ranty fashion. I think it's an experiment for me in not drawing the conclusions for the reader. It's fun, and I keep it anonymous, and nobody reads it or clicks on my Google ads, which is just as well because I update it so infrequently. I should collect a bunch more stories and upload them more regularly, and start being like one of the porters who hands out pens with his website URL on them... Except I doubt I'd make much off the ads anyway even if I had traffic.)
Am not in a bad mood, but not feeling very good either. I would blame the cramps, but they're not that bad. Eh well, at least I'm not feeling unreasonable.
I wish my shins didn't hurt, though. I can deal with the sore thigh and hip muscles from running, but the shins are just icky.
I think perhaps I've caught up on comments I was behind on, but I'm not sure. i had a whole set of tabs open, but then installed a plugin for uploading pictures to Snapfish, and it restarted Safari. Eh well.
Snapfish, incidentally, was looking so so very cool-- upload all the photos you like, store them as long as you want, share them with anyone-- until I realized that "share them with anyone" means "share them with anyone who is willing to set up a Snapfish account". You have to register to see them. And that's kind of dumb. They have a great uploading interface, and it makes pretty good albums, but ug.
I'm trying to find a good service for my parents to use instead of just sending all these huge photos of Scout as attachments on mass e-mails. So far, nothing is cutting it.
But if anyone wants to register with snapfish to see my photos of Dave's graduation... it's here, and you get 20 free prints when you set up a new account, so... if you've got a hoard of digital photos you've been meaning to print, 20 free and 12 cents apiece after that aren't bad.
