I'm XENA! Weekend warrior princess! Ok.. not really. I'm more like Miss Sleepy-Pants! I've worked each day since last Monday. And I'm TAWRED! I work tomorrow all the way up to next Friday. But it's okay... the money is good (and needed!) so I'll take it. Better than those without a job and need one, right? Ok.. that was my pep up talk. Now to the gossip! SO MUCH DRAMA happened at work this past Friday! I worked in the downtown location and what a trip that was! The police came in and nabbed one old guy who was silly enough to smoke in the bathroom. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was a puff or two, but there was SMOKE coming out from under the door! DUUUH! And we were only 2 storeys up! I mean -- HELLO! He could have gone outside, dontcha think? And the other incident was really shadey. Two cops came up and asked this guy to step to the side with them and they gathered up all his stuff and cuffed him... dunno what it was... but I'm totally intrigued.

Ok.. on a personal note... I had cramps from HELL today (I know, more info than you wanted to know, but I had to preface my tale with that to give you an idea of the mood I was in). And this old guy came in who is borderline senile, and he usually brings his wife in and I work thru her. Well today, he came in and was alone... I asked "Where's your wife?" and he shrugged and told me she was working. Sooooo... I knew what was coming. I had to talk him thru purchasing online airline tickets. I always help them, I mean they're sweet and they think I'm the only one capable of helping them and that's fine. But we browsed thru Expedia and he didn't see any flight prices he wanted (in his defense, they were rather pricey -- all over 850 bucks to travel roundtrip from here to Indianapolis). So he decides he'll drive to Dallas and catch a flight from there (lots cheaper). SO we finally found the PERFECT one, chose it and I was entering his CC number into the secure server when --- BAMMO! -- the PC shuts off right in the middle. I'm like "WHAT HAPPENED????" and my cramps are really cramping and my mood is totally swinging and I look down and see he's turned off the computer. "What's this button do?" ARGH!!!!! I wanted to cry... and curl up in a little ball and take a sick day. *cry* Anyway, I booted the PC back up and finally got it done. He wanted to pay for the copy (which was 10 cents) with a twenty dollar bill and I said "Keep it... just bring me some chocolate next time you come in." ;) I'm so easy...

So that's MY day. OH OH OH!!! I did write tho! My thursdays are getting REALLY productive (the day I work a double.. thru September at least) and I have a 2 hour lunch break so I write like a maniac! I'm really pleased with the story and hopefully, once I finish this story, I'll get back to work on the other one that I'm thisclose to finishing. My crit group is giving me lots of great crits on it so far and I totally respect their opinions. I love being in a group with professionals, you really get insightful comments and honest critiques. Can't ask for more than that, right?

I'm off to write more. I'll update my counter tomorrow after I upload my NEO to the PC here. Gads, I love that little electronic miracle ;)
