I'm finally getting over this weird flu virus that's been getting me down. I had to cancel work for three days, though, which makes me feel a bit like a slacker. So when they called and asked me to cover part of a shift tonight, I said I would even though I'm still not feeling great. Whoopditydo!

Christmas Shopping update!

I got some more shopping done yesterday and today. I'm being very good at limiting my expenditures, too. :)

Okay, so I still need to do a bit of shopping.

These answers scare me...

I'm feeling too blah to write anything. I'm also feeling too blah to do anything of any actual use, so I've spent the hour since I woke up doing this...

You Are Miss Piggy

A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it. You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less. You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way. Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!

Holiday Happenings

I found out that I might have to work Christmas Eve. I don't generally work on Sundays, but as the most recent hire at Borders in my holiday temp position, I'd say that particular Sunday I'm a shoe-in.

For further fun, due to my two jobs, I have to work double shifts occassionally. This doesn't sound so bad, right? I mean, it's just a few extra hours here and there. No. It's not just a few extra hours. Instead, Alice consists of heavy lifting, teddy bear hauling, booth primping, photo taking, and exhausting bouts of innocuous conversation with various (sometimes dim witted) listeners. Follow this up with an 8 hour shift at the new and improved Holiday Crunch Time Borders. I come home feeling like my soul has been ripped from my body, thrown on the ground, stomped on a few times and then handed back to me with a big red bow.

Some might say I sound bitter. I'm really not, though. It's just very exhausting and I think it's catching up with me. Right now, in the form of a cold.

As for good things that have happened: I got paid. I saw The Sounds live last night with Graham at the Fillmore in SF. I caught up with some old friends. I've gotten a jump on my holiday shopping.
