...veg tray for hospitality. (Having had the foresight to secure one of my big aluminum trays during the jaunt home.) La-la-la, fewer idiots at work and a couple of awesome orders, go me. Went back to Schnauzerland and was up til 2 AM putting together the veggie tray and dip. Church went well. AI was the speaker, talking about seasonal myths like Inanna, Demeter and Persephone, et al. My ensemble was...

... I need to call AI tomorrow and ask what CUUPs plans are for Samhain---although getting my ass up Sunday AM and home to dress in time may be a challenge. Unless I go home after work and return to Schnauzerland immediately thereafter. I have a very pretty trouser suit in autumnal colors that I've been reserving for the occasion. I will try to get pix. Part of me wants to poach in the jacuzzi for...

Here I am, a-schnauzering---it sounds like it ought to be on a CD of the dogs that bark Christmas carols. Excuse me if I sound woozy---today was a zoo at work. Trendicrap is running two promos simultaneously... Thank God the break room was empty or they would've come after me with the butterfly nets---I laughed my ass off! And so did the crew filming it, from the snickering in the background. Good night

So, Friday morning, I get a call from S. I'm scheduled to drop by schnauzerland between training and CapeGypsy's party to check that I have the correct key for their front door as I'm schnauzer-sitting next weekend. She wants me to go to the Mac store in Melbourne and pick up a charger for her new iPod. (I just typed that as "iPot". Christo, is that Freudian, or what?!) Sure, fine, whatever. I got...

Most of my Friday was pretty good---I'll catch youse guys up on that later, when I'm less tired and pissed off. However, I made the fatal mistake of dropping by Schnauzerland after CapeGypsy's party---when I got there, S & T were arguing, then, as I was leaving, I fell over a pallet that was lying in their driveway. I couldn't see it and wasn't expecting it, so I slammed my foot into it and went down...

White Trash Queen training this morning was painful , in the sense that I've had about 4.5 hours of sleep with nothing to show for it---no food, no swag, no overtime. Blergh. On the other hand, I did...size for a ridiculously low price---which is great, but I wish the Universe would send a few good skirts/pairs of pants my way! Can't think of anything else, but that may be the sleep deprivation...

I got here (Schnauzerland) about the same time I would've gotten home, despite having driven quite conservatively down A1A. Was much welcomed by the bearded wonders, pitched a fit at the computer because Yahoo was NOT displaying properly and I really, seriously freaking HATE MacIntosh. Screw those Mac/PC commercials, give me my straightforward PC any day! Got a lovely ficlet from karaokegal...

...25 years, I KNOW her---she does NOT do "early" ANYthing.) Got set free early, so I was able to get to the closest gas station ($4.10) during daylight hours to put enough in to get me to my usual station ($4.00), so now I have 3/4 of a tank, which will last me through next payday. Tomorrow, I'll be going directly from work to Schnauzerland. S isn't the only one who needs to pack tonight!

...were bad? Because god forbid, I actually used my sick days as sick days! Hmph. I still think she's a cow, but I smiled and made nice, because I'm a professional. Tomorrow evening looks like canasta at Schnauzerland. S and T are going to a resort next weekend with a friend, and have hooked me to stay at their place Friday and Saturday nights. Which basically means going directly there from work on Friday...

This has been a lovely day. Church was pleasant. I returned home, answered emails, went over to Kat's for a brief swim (We'd only been in the water for 20-30 minutes before it started to sprinkle.) which...game for the 4th. It's been a while since we've gotten together, and I wouldn't mind visiting my godchildren the schnauzers. Maybe I'll finish the day by doing something constructive, like laundry...
