Closing Time

... and I spent the whole shift with the girl. The whole shift. I have 10 mins till closing and I'm cold. I get to play two songs before leaving.. I' think I'll play..

*Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

The other one, I'm not sure yet.

Dr.S came by. He brought me a tape to digatize for him. Since he doesn't need it for these last 3 weeks of school, there's no real rush.

Norton started on this computer when I turned it on earlyer, but I don't if I unpaused it when I went to help her or not, but it's not here anymore. I'll set it up to go when I leave. The computer will restart at 6:30am.

Ok.. picked the next song....

*Soft Cell - Tainted Love. (my fav song)

Ok.. 5 till. I'm not leaving late today.. it takes too long to catch a bus to go home on Sunday nights, and I want to be home for 10:30. Justice League. Oh... my sister called me like 3 times to let me know that she was getting KFC. It's half my fault. She asked me to put the salt fish to soak before I left the house. I compleatly forgot. So that set back her cooking time.

Bye.

Guess I Was Wrong

I don't start midnight shift today. I start next Sunday.

I checked the note posted by the Library and it said the 7th. Lucky I checked or I would have been walking in here after 4pm.

Well the girl with the end of semester project has caught up with me, and to my surprise, the date for the thing hasn't come yet. I thought it was last night. Something else that I was wrong about. It's next Saturday. So we are going to be spending some time together today to get as far as we can with her project.

I wore a wig today. I like it. I have to get to use to hair being in my face again, but I like it. I think I'll buy one if I can find one. I could send money to Phillys to get me two also. I'll see. I was late for work, and I couldn't find the bush to bush my hair since I didn't have time to comb it out, and I couldn't find it. So I borrowed Jhodie's wig. So far, everyone likes it on me. I used to look this good. When I was 17. :)

This just proves that I look better with longer hair.








There... that is how I look today. :)

Now I have to go help the girl. :)

See ya.

8:30am

That is the time they woke me up today.

I was promised a 9 o'clock wake up call. Now you might say what is 30 mins? 30 mins can mean a lot if you lost around 2 hours from 5:30am till...

Nika woke up to use the bathroom, and she wasn't fast enough so she messed up the bathroom floor. I helped her finish use the bathroom, gave her a wash down, and changed her underwear, mobbed the floor, and set her up in bed with me. I then fell asleep to Winnie the Pooh. Piglet lost her/his voice. I think it's a girl most of the time.

The reason I was awoken so early was because my other uncle took my uncle's other car and went Nevis. I don't think that the car went to Nevis, he just used it to get to the boat. Either which way, that messed up how everyone was going to go to where they were going today. So some how he worked out to come early for us, but we were no where near ready, so he said that he would be back for us in 15 mins. I got Nika up who wanted to stay in bed as much as me. They just put a skirt on her, I walked into something I had on the bed, and we ate some cereal. Lynn took a bath and everything. I was half way thought my rather small bowl when he showed up.

If you ever come here, don't get a low car. This place isn't meant to have low cars. But that is what he had, and with all of us in there, it had parts scraping the road all the way there.

First we stopped by the ATM in town and Jhodie cracked open my bank account, and ran into Bachman who I think had money for her. (Nika's God mother.)

We got there and my uncle got a fan that I saw before he left. I'm sure he got other stuff. He even asked me for $5. I walked out of the house with myself.

Until he left I tried to keep track of his kid. He was running around with Nika and then with this other little boy that was there, then back with Nika again. After they left I stayed with AM. She didn't have much to sell, and I even got a bug repellant from her for $2. It lightly rained on us like 3 times, and Nika hung out in her car off and on for the rest of the time until she took us home.

AM was using Freckle's car. I started out as the water holder, then I was holder of everything as they walked around getting more stuff. Let's see, what did Jhodie get?

1. A blanket, throw. White.
2. An interesting little chest box.
3. A lap table for bed that she's going to use with the laptop.
4. A filter
5. An umbrella

6. Two flash lights. One you can plug into the wall.
7. A small brown bag that I think Nika is going to use t hold her pencils and such.
8. A small oblong red pillow.
.... and about 3 other things I think but can't remember.

I was able to get a ride home from AM, and I took all the stuff that we had with me. She was staying to get the fan and few other things and then come home with Uncle Ray. Lynn took her stuff since she was going to Nevis when she was done. We gave a lift to Lynn’s friend who also came over from Nevis for the sale. We dropped her off at the pier with a self that she got.

Oh... I almost forgot about my good piece of luck that befell me at the sale. Someone found $10 on the ground and asked out loud if anyone missed it. No one answered, and he dropped it saying he didn't need it, and that he'll leave it for someone who did. I walked over and picked it up saying that, that would be me. The girl/student who had a good seat for all of this just laughed. :)

Oh, I remember something else she got. A web cam, and a bag for the air bed. The air bed came in a box I think and it broke.

So I thanked AM, told her I'll see her later and walked into the house to set up the cam for Jhodie. She had bought the cam because the person she got it from used it on a laptop. So it should work fine with her's.

An hour later, the cam was set up, I got some more anime for the torrent to get for me, Nika went to sleep on the new red pillow out on the air bed, and I was trying to go to sleep. I tried to go to sleep for about 30 mins at least, and just as I was about to really fall asleep I heard Jhodie's voice. I woke with a start, and thought that it was just in my head, but I knew something was going to happen. In 2 mins I heard my sister calling me and coming up the steps.

I told her to call me at 1:30 after I came out of the bathroom and fall back into bed.

Shame I didn't get up at that time. I had set my clock before she came, but I just turned it off and laid back down. I didn't rise from my bed until 9 till 2. I took a quick bath, and I didn't doodle, but I didn't leave the house until 20 or so past 2. I looked for the $10 that I had put in a math kit that I thought Jhodie had gotten for Nika. Turns out that it was Lynn's. There goes my lunch money. Jhodie called Lynn to let her know. I'll see when I get that back. I'll just have to break the $20 that I still had on me.

The bus stopped at the gas station and 3 other buses went by us in that time. I got here about 20 till 3. I stopped at the guard house and called down to M. I asked her is Jhodie called to let her know that I was going to be late. ( I called to Jhodie when I was leaving the house to ask her to make the call for me. ) She said no. Oh well. I told her that I was going to get some lunch on my way down.

I walked over and go a garden salad with fries. That came up to $10. I came down and chatted with M over what E said. It seems that E had written a memo to herself saying that she was no longer burning CDs. I told/asked M about it. She said that she noticed that E just stopped burning cds and left them there for her to do. I should tell someone about this, but I'll ask M first. If it was official, M would have been told that she was going to be the only one doing this from Ron. She was never told that.

Then I went in and started to eat. M left early for something, and that is when people started to need my help. By 4:30 I had plugged back up the sound for a vcr, helped someone to see a video, and fixed a wireless connection, and posted something for the SGA. In the process, I was able to drop dressing on my shirt twice. One right above the other on the left side of my chest.

I caught up with some of my tech e-mails that I just let gather in their own little folder. Download.com has a nice new look. If you wonder what I mean by new and say it's been that way for a while, you will know how long it's been since I've been there. I've been living over at snapfiles.com for the longest time now. Anyway, did you know they no longer carry software supported by adware?? Ya, it's true. They thought everyone would benefit from it. They thought about how often they had to rebuild their systems after a round of testing due to all the adware that came with the software, and the fact that the top of their most downloaded list is populated with adware removal software, and thought that it would be a good move. The only ones that seem upset, of course, were the people who paid to have their ads placed there in the first place.

I then covered the front desk and worked on the wallpaper that you see below. There aren't many pics out there for the v-chip. I asked Tishon who walked in earlier, he didn't know what the v-chip was, so it didn't work the way I wanted it to on him. Made a few more adjustments to it, then uploaded.

There might be two people in here, but I only see one. Tonight is the end of semester party/banquet. I haven't been to one in like 5 or so years I'm sure.

Ok, I think that's it. I'm looking at something that says tonight there's a chance of Thundershowers and that it's 77 degrees out. It is kinda cold in here, and I did hear thunder at 3pm when M left.

Ok... spell checking. This could take some time considering how long it took me to type this all up.

Current time - 8:15.

Finished. ... time - 8:39. Not as long as I thought it would.

See ya.

I Think I Made It Too Technical. :(

My latest installment for the Calvin set.



See what I mean?

If you get it, YA! :)

If not, I knew it. :(

I'm adding it to my photo blog anyway.

I think that I'll go look for wallpaper for the club, but I don't think that I'll be posting anything until tonight after I get home or sometime tomorrow. Something to do on my midnight shift. :) or :( . I don't know yet.

Now for my blog for the day. I have something to actually write.

See ya upstairs.

I Almost Didn't Have Anything To Do Today

Even on his way out my boss shook his head and said how he didn't get with me this week. Then he started to talk about showing up this week, but it ended with him saying that he'll just e-mail the list of things to be changed and I just meet with him as I went along.

To keep myself from pacing the floor with nothing to do, I first did the few web updates that were sent to me. I hoped to have gotten an answer back from a person I sent a file back to for approval, for posting, but still nothing. By the time I get it, the few people who would have read it for an upcoming event, (if the event hasn't already pasted) will miss having the information for the event. You would think no one checked their e-mail for how long I have to wait for an answer.

Well after I did the few postings, and a few website touch ups, I went to cover the front desk. E went for lunch along with just about everyone else. It's at least 1:45pm now. I'm sure it was a bit later, but I don't know by how much. While she was gone I did most of this ...

I didn't get it completely finished for a few another hour or so. I wasn't finished with it until after 4pm. I kinda crashed the program. I tried to save it, but when it came time to kill the program, I didn't feel the dread of having to retype it. I knew that I saved it, but I didn't remember how far back. Turns out it wasn't that far back. I just spent a lot of time looking for one of the last two clip art pics for it.

What do you think? The whole thing is real, just no one asked me to do it. The new guy made it for his aunt, and I thought I could do better. I'm just not use to working with anything this small, but it's made to be printed 4"x4", or something like that. It' not as long as the one he had, but it's much wider. I tried to print 4 per page, and as you can guess, they came out a bit small, but two per page should work nicely.

I then worked on this number after I posted some other web work that was e-mailed to me around 2.



This one I worked on until it was time to leave. The ornament was the hardest thing to do. I re-did it like 4 times. It would have been easier if had more white space on either side. That was one of my plans to make it easier on myself, but somehow I just forgot and worked on it the hard way.

I didn't freeze like I thought I would today at work. It's been raining off and on since 3am. Break out room one got a bit wet. The rain came though a gap between the wall and the window. I think. There was the hole at the edge of the front desk. I placed a can there to catch the water. Just now I heard some thunder, and when I was out buying dinner, I saw lighting.

Then I watched Star Gate. I missed bits here and there, and oh, my cousin is here. She's here for the seventh semester sale tomorrow. Thanks to her, I'm going be up of 9am. They want me to go with them. I really don't know why, but during all this, we are going to go across the street, and get a ceiling fan. Finally. The price went down this week, but we don’t know if any will be left. Jhodie called yesterday and they said that they had like 56 left. We are hoping that at least one is left for when we get there tomorrow.

AM came by before closing. Some time around 6 I think. We talked a little, and I got a copy of a cd that she got from a teacher that day. It's the new Harry Potter book on cd. I got it for Nika since she seems to like Harry Potter.

Nika has been bouncing off the walls like she ate sugar cubes for lunch, but my sister recently told me that she just had a late nap. She most likely won't look at sleep until at least midnight. That is in 40mins.

I think that's it.

*Yawn... * I have to go make a copy of a cd for Lynn (my cousin).

Night.

The time is now. 11:25pm.

Spell and grammer checking finished. Time - 11:53

See ya.
