A day away does the mind, soul, body, and capacity for insulting each other well.

Or, I hung out with the family today. We traded barbs, shot peas at onrushing tanks, and ran the gamut from bodily functions to MacBeth quotations in our jokes and comments. I found out that even at a young age, brain ran faster than hands for typing or writing, and even for speaking. That was definitely worthwhile, hanging out with the family. I get to help move my sister in Tuesday, and band week starts Thursday. Oh, joys. Which reminds me that I need to look at my music a lot more. Tomorrow, though. It's already too late and the roommate is headed to bed. So I will be, too.

And now things get interesting.

Well, today was training day number one. Unfortunately, about three-quarters of the way through it, we found out that our new staff members couldn't be new staff members because one of the management people had declared a hiring freeze and neglected to tell anybody. Our new person took it with good grace as best as we can tell, but I would be surprised if he was more than a little cheesed at this whole thing. So I go back in tomorrow for training bout number two, then take one more shift on Wednesday, and it's off to band week. Let the games begin.

On an unrelated but interesting note, I think I might take up the challenge of a PFF once again. The problem is, I know there's already one running (Jacob's Ladder) which is running along the same sort of lines that I would be writing mine about. Plus, with school getting geared up to start, I'll have a few things to take care of. Here's hoping I don't go insane before my schooling starts.

Reminder to self. Do as much of the graduate schooling applications as you can now, so that the rest is just filling things in.
