   Well, this sucks.

I'm at the library. Tried for 45 minutes to connect with my own laptop to the wireless. Couldn't get an IP address assigned. Stupid heifer that works here claims there's nothing wrong. I went to the library computer to enter my McDonald's Monopoly codes and the site is being a huge pain in the arse. I may very well have lost two of my codes because the site isn't cooperating. If I try this at home on the dialup, it will probably take about an hour to do any of it. Grr.

I think that just about sums it up for the mood I'm in right now. So... I think I will go home and try the dialup. Great... I'm just a glutton for punishment.

   What a long week...

Well, last week sure sucked. It was busy and I was in a fairly pissy mood for a good chunk of the week.

I am on the dialup right now... It's about half past midnight. I think I may give up on the computer for the night. Yeah... I'll post more in the afternoon when I go down to the library and get on the wireless.

   Umm.... Grrr? (Warning: LONG post ahead!)

As my friend eddy would put it, "Don't mess with me, I'm in a pissy mood!"

That pretty much sums up the past couple of days for me.

Um, let's see... when was the last time I actually posted something of some content? Thursday, I think. So, let's do a little catching up, eh?

Friday: had to work from 2 to 10. Yeah, weird hours, but we had a Regulation Butt-Load of reservations for that night and we needed to double up on people that can work behind the desk and actually have a clue as to what to do. It wasn't too bad a night, except for the part where my supper got the best of me. I spilled pop on me as I was leaving the fast food joint where I got the food. I got grease on me as I was trying to carry the bag into the motel. I got ketchup on me as I was fighting with a packet to augment the flavor of the fries. What really sucks is that I washed the shirt the day before! By the way, I was able to get most of the ketchup out before it ended up looking awful. The grease, however, is still there. I hope it will go away when I wash again on Thursday.

Saturday: DAY OFF!!!!!! It was hot out. After one of my previous weeks of laundry doing, I put my shorts away, thinking that I wouldn't need them again. Hahahahaha!!!!! It was around 90 degrees outside. Guess what I had to pull out of the dresser? Yep. My shorts! So, what did I do with that wonderful day off? I went to a renaissance fair. It was fun. Was very glad that it was windy to keep the heat down a little bit. Didn't buy anything except a bottle of Gatorade. Didn't even take my camera along. We spent about an hour and a half there. Saw some really cool stuff that I wouldn't mind having. Saw some Akita dogs. I never realized how big they were. They were cute. After the ren-fair we went to the photo place so I could pick up my pictures, which I swear I will post over on deviantArt one of these days. These are the pictures from the trip to the park a couple weeks ago. Then we went over to the mall for Chik-fil-A sandwiches. Yummy! Hadn't had that for a long time. After the mall... HOCKEY!!!! Yeah, hockey season started Saturday. We played the Lincoln Stars. After two periods, we were behind 2-0, but had 3 unanswered goals in the 3rd period! Unfortunately the Stars got a tying goal and it went into overtime. Overtime ended with us still tied at 3-3, so that meant we had to go to a shootout! We won that! It was great. I did learn one thing... I shouldn't wear my Musketeers jersey with shorts. When I sat down, I ended up looking like I didn't have any pants on!

Sunday: work. It was oddly busy for a Sunday. I had a lot of stuff to do that prevented me from even thinking about cracking open my laptop. Just a lot of busy work... and construction guys. A bunch of construction guys checked in. Oh yeah, and the van broke down. Had to call for a taxi for people that we normally shuttle in our van.

Monday: If ever there was a day where I wanted to scream "Do over!" all lot, Monday was it. I was supposed to work from 4 to 12, but was called to work from 3 to 11. My brother-in-law came over to see if I could sit with my sister while he had a doctor's appointment. I said I had to work and was having problems with my allergies and asthma. He got mad and left. Got to work and the van was still gone. Had to call taxis again. There was a lot of mix-ups with which taxi was for which guys and it was confusing for a while. Had more construction guys check in. Some of them are really nice. Some are a big pain. One of the railroad guys was a pain. He came down for coffee around 4:00 and there wasn't any there. The little psycho made a crack about the day shift to him. Later this same railroad guy went off on a tyrade about how horrible he gets treated. I feel sorry for anyone that has to work with the guy. Nothing on this planet will ever make him happy. Then there was the guy who was really nice and gave one of the railroaders his taxi and ended up waiting an hour for another one. SUX is not that big that it should take an hour for a taxi to arrive. The guest that waited was really nice to me about it all and we ended up joking about taxis the rest of the night.

Tuesday: Worked again. Still no van. As usual had to work with the little psycho. Had a little go around with him as he questions everything I ask him to do. I asked him why and he said I'm not in charge. Um, excuse me, my name is on the wall as "Manager on Duty", not his. He's just a bellman. He's not trained to check people in (and never will be). He's not the one that is capable of answering phone calls correctly. He's not the one that takes reservations. I'm the one whose name is on the wall and is in charge. I told him that if he didn't want to do anything he could just go home because there was no van. He got mouthy with me and said I should be the one to leave. Um, see what I said above about whose name is on the wall and what it means and what he's capable of doing around there. I called the manager (she was in a different building) and she said if he had a problem with me, he should go talk to her. I sent him over to talk to her and he was quiet for a while. She's still going to have a big talk with him about the problem with his mouth. He runs off at it. See what I said about his comments about the day staff on Monday. I am the only one that he questions or mouths off to at work and I am damned sick of it. Frankly, I'm damn sick of working with the runt. If I had another job, I would be gone from that place so fast, people's heads would spin.

Wednesday: well, it's barely Wednesday, as the time is currently 1:26 am according to the litte clock in the corner of my screen. I really should be going to bed as my eyes are starting to dry out. Also, I think someone is going to be here around 8:00 to finish off the light fixture in the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom is almost finished! Woohoo! I have to work from 4 to 12 tonight. The van is supposed to be back tomorrow. If not, I think I will cry. Just kidding! ... Maybe. *grin* So that's it from a rather long-winded, mostly tired Kitsune.

   Wheeeee!!!!

It's the end of Thursday. I had a pretty nice day. Did a buttload of laundry as usual. Did a little writing.

Other than that... nothing else going on here. So, how are you?

   Yeaaargggh!

I hate being on hold on the phone. I spent about 20 minutes waiting to talk to a real person at the Best Buy customer service line before I gave up. I may try again when I get home from work tonight. I'm tired of them thinking I live in South Dakota.

Work has been going in spurts tonight. It's about 8:30 pm right now. I should consider doing some real work here pretty soon. I got tomorrow off. Yay! It will be the typical Thursday! Haha!!!

Well... I think I have officially become bored here. *sigh* So... that means it's time to wander off and see if I can find anything interesting to do for the last 2.5 hours of my shift. Ha!

   I'm fine. How are yoooo-ooou?

Well, I feel better today than yesterday. Well, I'm counting this as still being Monday even though the clock just chimed midnight, signalling the start of Tuesday. I really didn't feel good Sunday at all. Just ached and was really tired.

Monday was a day off. Hooray! I watched Friday night's episode of Doctor Who. Yes, I am an admitted Whovian. Used to be a card-carrying member of the official fan club. Anyhoo... it was the middle episode of a three-parter. Grrr! And I have to work Friday night as usual, so my brother will tape it for me again.

I went down to the library to take advantage of the wireless connection there. I had some updating on the remodel progress site to do. Click here to take a look.

Well, I have a few other things to do tonight, so I will leave you with that. The cat's name is Hindi, by the way.

   Time to goof off for a while.

I got up around 8:30 this morning, fully expecting someone to be pounding at the door to work on the bathroom. No one did. *sigh* Not that I'm surprised by the lack of bathroom work...

So, since I have today off, I decided to do a little work around the house. I did walk downtown before I started though. But after that I cleaned the downstairs bathroom/laundry room. It was getting disgusting. I also got some of the stuff back onto the walls in the kitchen, as well as getting a little cabinet thing back where it had been. I had to do a little bit of vacuuming before I put it back. Also to pick up some newspaper shreds that the kitten left behind. Yes, our kitten has a personal vendetta against paper. Oh, almost forgot... I also bagged up about three weeks of newspapers that had been lying on the floor by a closet. That's where the shreds came from. While doing all that, I also did three loads of laundry and had lunch. My last load of laundry finished up at 1:00 pm.

So I decided to walk downtown again and sit here in the library with my laptop and use the wireless. Now I'm trying to clear out some of the emails my oldest brother sent that have videos in them. I have no idea how many I've gone through so far, nor how many are left. He forgets that not everyone in the family has highspeed internet. *sigh*

I'll probably go online later tonight, too, but I want to get my email out of the way first. Whee!

   Sleepy at 1:00 pm.

Well. The carpenter showed up around 8:00 this morning. Our bathroom is looking more like a bathroom now. It's rather cramped looking in there....

I still have to go to work. Yippee. Once again with the psycho.... and to top it all off, the owner is there. The boss-lady gets all crazy when he shows up or even if he calls. I don't mind him there. He's just another guy. I actually think he's nice.

Well... not much else to say right now. I'll have to get ready for work here in a little bit. *sigh*
