nearly better
I am so far behind on everything I don't know where to start.
I wound up working in the Club yesterday. Why? Well, three people had called off, and if this is an indicator of how things will be over the holiday there are certain of my coworkers who I will hunt down and kill. It is extremely selfish to call in sick on a holiday. It means other people have to stay late. And that makes me angry.
But I digress.
I actually chose to stay in the Club rather than displace the girl junior to me, because it was dead everywhere.
Nobody is flying this Christmas.
If they are, they are not flying through Buffalo.
The whole airport is freakishly deserted.
So I had a nice time sitting in the club, and I wrote out the Five Holiday Traditions meme in a very long and obviously over-nostalgic way, since I will be missing out on all five of them this year. It's seriously like 1500 words, and I'll post it a bit later.
I came home and was less tired than I would've been if I hadn't sat down for most of my shift, so I embarked with gusto upon wrapping my presents and so on. But of course I hit a snag: I got all these people cocktail shakers with the idea of putting a bartending manual inside them, and I simply haven't finished writing the bartender manual. I think I'll be doing a quick handwritten version at work today, hm? Just a couple recipes, bound with a staple, to sit in there.
And then: Somehow between tonight and tomorrow I have to find the time and the privacy to come up with an idea for the gift-decorating contest. The theme is Pantry and I've no fucking clue. I also have no materials, and no real engineering talent, to speak of. So probably around 1 am I'll be out there with my duct tape and some like brown paper bags or something... Whatever it is also has to withstand the journey down the street, so it's got to fit in a car. Hm.
Eh well.
Who needs sleep?
At least we got the piparkukas done, yesterday. Barely-- I threw the last batch in the oven and sprinted out the door to catch my bus, leaving Z to deal with them. But he was all right, and only burned the last ones a little. :) There are several shaped like buffalo. I am very proud of this. However, now I feel the need for a woolly mammoth cookie cutter, and have no idea where to find one...
