thebrokenarrowsSo a week or so ago, I won tickets to a burlesque show, but my coworker had already taken off that whole weekend. I was so sad. There are only three people scheduled on night shift [like, total, not in one night, there's only three people specifically for that job including me], and one of them was on her way out while taking on another job, so right now there are only two. So there's no way we could both have off. Especially on a Saturday. They're training the new kid to replace the girl who left, so I assume it'll be me and him [me and someone with less experience, omg!!] that day. I was really sad that I probably will end up not going. As soon as I find out for sure, I'll give the tickets to someone else if I have to.
But!! Something else that I thought had fallen apart fell back into place yesterday! We mentioned the beach trip that bb's friends from school were taking, that I realized I couldn't attend because they'd decided to do it the weekend before the fourth of july. Another holiday weekend, so no way am I getting out of working it. But turns out bb was wrong about the dates... It was only that wednesday through friday. Those happen to be the days I get off every week. :o... then that night I went to work and looked at my schedule for next week... A MIRACLE OCCURRED... I'M OFF SATURDAY?!?
Yup... It's true! They're working the new kid and the other worker the saturday of the trip. The day AFTER I'd be getting home. So not only am I off all of those days, I have A SATURDAY to recuperate!! And I think bb has that night off too, so we can go to Abari together if we're not totally broke lol!!
SO YEAH. Got something to look forward to. A beach trip! And we don't even have to pay for lodgings or even food too much! They'll all be playing RPGs together so I'll be out on the beach by myself [read: with the System] a lot. For THREE DAYS. I'm gonna get so tanned [read: sunburned].
I really hope that the beach house we're going to [I've never been in an actual beach house before. I'm stoked] is within reasonable walking distance to the ocean. Cuz... Omfg. I'm getting in that mood where I want to pack a million days before the actual event. IM GONNA GO SEE THE OCEAN AGAIN MOTHERFUCKERS IM GONNA GO SEE HER AAAAAAAA
In other news:
- My nails look amazing, in shades of pastel lilac/indigo/periwinkle, with opalescent pink-purple shimmer layered over top and glittery hexagons[!!!]. Yup. Perfect.
- I met the most fascinating older guy today and I intend to go back there and find him again. He might even be able to get me involved in music again... :> which is something I've desperately missed!
- I sprained or otherwise injured my already bad wrist somehow last night at the beginning of my shift. It sucks and is so sore. Work tonight won't help at all of course. I have my brace, an ace bandage and some cold packs to help me through it, and excedrin/coffee if need be.
- The fact that there's only three people in the entire store - no, in the CITY - that do exactly the job that I do makes me feel really lucky! There are other boarding facilities of course but this is the only one of this particular type in Charlotte, and only three people [currently, just two] are ever kept on to work the night shift. That's amazing. I feel like I was really lucky to get this job. Even if it is drudgery sometimes, and a little dangerous, and I get tired of it, it really is the first GOOD job of my life and I'm so grateful to the universe and to myself.
