Horrible, horrible weather today -- mid-thirties; strong, gusty wind that kept switching directions; and rain. I jogged part of the way home after closing the store, partly in an attempt to warm up, and...he has a conflict, he needs to tell us so she can avoid scheduling him on days with late-afternoon classes. ... I have a feeling that if he doesn't shape up by the end of the week, he may be fired

Today's lesson was "A Pledge to the Earth," which, like last week's lesson, involves laminated cut-out photocopies of the illustrations from a very tacky picture book by Aline D. Wolff. I had to start...a very slow night, especially once the sky clouded over and it began to rain, so I killed time by getting half of the coming week's inventory done early. Occasionally I am productive like that. :-

I have now worked twice with JG, our new trainee. He's a Cornell student, in ILR (which is, I think, a state school rather than a fully private school -- Cornell is a weird mish-mash of private and land...lack of standard emotional/social response." ... Clearly I'm overthinking this. But still. Discomfort is discomfort, and all the logic in the world can't argue away a subconscious emotional response

If BW had sat down and deliberately tried to screw up the cash-up in as many ways as possible, I don't think he could have done a more thorough job than he did this morning by accident. *headdesk* It took me nearly an hour, cumulatively, to figure out what he'd done and fix all the errors.

I am alive and mostly well, though this is the time of year when 'mostly well' can tip into 'deathly ill with a cold that might as well be the flu' at the drop of a hat, so... *sigh* Also, the air has...love the story, it's just that by this point I am so sick of it as well. Which is all the more reason to buckle down and get it done at last, but... yeah. Mental flinching. *procrastinates more

So hey, victory! I got the story done and posted just under the wire (11:53 for part 1, 11:55 for part 2), and though I'm sure if I read it again today, I'll find at least twenty stupid little things I...gets tonight, the less chance of him being really horribly ill on Saturday, which is kind of important because he's opening alone and PM will be pissed off if she has to cover for him on the weekend

*nudges warholzprodigy * That MS, she is such a lousy coworker. She was three hours late for her shift today, because she was stuck in Cortland without transportation back to Ithaca. Well, that's...tomorrow I will get Kazul on-screen instead of simply talked about in her absence. --------------- In other news, my period started today. MENSTRUAL CRAMPS ARE A TOOL OF THE DEVIL. That is all

Notice: I didn't sit next to art history boy today. I sat directly behind him. Why? Because some fucking fat asian was sitting where I should have been. I have another shot on Wednesday. I plan on getting...on my work. I just want to get through with this week, go home this weekend and visit my family (because my sister always makes me feel better), and, in the words of my father, "Just suck it up"

The woman my coworker BW lives with (I've never been clear on the exact nature of their relationship) has been having serious health problems for a few months now. She has a doctor's appointment tomorrow...much better membership discount program!) ... And now I am off to bed. (Possibly after watching another episode of Genesis of the Daleks . *weighs sleep against the need to know what happens next*

Continuing string of work-related posts... We got everything done ahead of time today, so ET left 45 minutes early even after I took the time to put together and write up a transfer. Then I hunted down... --------------- It's disgustingly humid at the moment. The intermittent rain has not done nearly enough to wring the water out of the air. Oh well, at least it'll make the waterfalls pretty again
