head, meet desk.

Well today was just all over the place. I went to do my last official babysitting gig this morning. Actually left there at 4 for once. It was a good thing I had already committed to that being my last day though, as I probably would have backed down after hearing all the chatter over there today. Too many cooks in that kitchen, if you get my meaning.

As as I was picking up Skylor, I missed a call from destertale. Turns out the theater we thought was donig a midnight showing seems to have the showing on Friday night, not Thursday (tonight). So we were trying to figure out what to do there. Of course, when I called her back it was crazy!busy at CRO so she had to call me back once she got off of work. So I drove to my parents because I had set up a date with my mom to go shopping. jimithingy said he bought ribs for dinner so I needed to be back around 9ish.

Anyway, so I get to my folks, and I'm chatting with them, and my cell rings and it's destertale and she says "You know you're supposed to be here now?" and I'm like wtf!!! Apparently, somehow I forgot to transfer my calendar dates so I never actually marked down that I was working 5-9! I had stopped taking Tues/Thurs evening because I was so wiped from sitting...but I must have agreed to this beforehand. But I had never written it on my main calendar and I hadn't checked my datebook for this week at all. I talked with the manager at the branch and apologized all over myself (and I'm going to write a letter to slip into her mailbox on Saturday). But since I was at my parents house, wearing only jeans and a t-shirt, it would probably have been another hour until I was there, and since I was already a half hour late...she said nevermind. She said that they still loved me, but I was so embarassed. Ugh. Hopefully, now that I'm done babysitting, this won't happen again. One job will be so much easier.

So then we finally get zaubervz and go to Kohls. We shop for a bit and I'm carrying around a pile of clothes and my cell phone rings and I figure it's more Serenity info, and I answer and it's BECKY! She's looking for quote from movies for a linguistics thing she's doing tomorrow. So we end up talking movies and firefly and serenity for oooh, at least 20 minutes, all the while I'm wandering Kohls. It was so random and fun cuz I was rattling off movie quotes. I roxor that much. Of course, after we got done, I felt crazy rushed cuz it was almost 8pm! So I tried on a few things, grabbed some new shoes (daisy fuentes stuff is pretty cool!) and we checked out. Well, I left my stuff with mom to buy and ran to the customer service area in the hopes of getting a price adjustment on the skirt I bought last week. BUT unbeknownst to me, it was employee sale day, so the service counter was insane. And all I got back was a $7! I was supposed to be more than that but i didn't feel like arguing, I just wanted to go home. (see, the skirt was marked as $18, but they charged me $25, and then I went in today at the skirt was %50, which would have made it $12! but whatever, she just dropped it to the $18 which was all I really needed anyway)

So I rushed home for some yummy ribs and corn on the cob, and Serenity #3 (2 outta 3 covers) came in for me too, so now I can read that before the movie tomorrow. I have a crap load of new clothes (mostly pants, I focused on the bottom half of my body today). And I need to get my lazy butt up tomorrow and do the last of my Core Ref before we meet up for Serenity. Madness will ensue, I do no doubt it.

Oi! What a day! I'm gonna eat some candy and most likely, play some WoWz.

Hey I roxorz i was coming up with a load of good quotes!

Where the hell have I been? You talked with her about babysitting? This isn't supposed to sounds condescending, but, I'm so proud of you. :) That took guts, hun. *hugs*

Sorry about your mishap at work. o_O I did that once, too, and the woman who I was supposed to relieve said not to worry about it. The next day, she turned around and complained to my boss about me not coming in. ¬_¬ And she is a very lonely woman, and there was much rejoicing. *laughs*

actually, I went for it right after everyone gave me a pep talk the week I posted about it. I sorta wussed out and e-mailed her first, but she was very understanding about it. I really need to thank everyone that replied to that post because it was all of you that gave me the guts to do it!

Yeah, I worked the Crofton library today and apologized again but they said it was alright, it was a very slow night and I wasn't the first person to do something like that anyhow, and they still love me. so *phew*

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

Awww... *hugs* :) I'm happy you got it all sorted out.

*exhales on Sam's behalf* Personally, I couldn't see how they would hold it against you. You are very dedicated to your job, and I'm sure they can see that. This isn't just a way to pay your bills, you work this job because you want to do so. How many can claim that, you know? :)

exactly. Plus, they were the branch I trained at so I'm like their little PTH baby ;-)

omg, and I have to say your connor icon made me giggle because "BELIEVE" is Baltimore's slogan. I'm not sure what we're supposed to believe in, but it's written all over the place and on bumper stickers in all capital letters like that haha.

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

PTH? :)

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

sorry, library lingo; PTH = Part Time Hourly (as opposed to being part time but having a regular salary, which is why I need them to love me, so they call me and give me work hehe)

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

Oh... OK... now I understand. :)
