Be a post whore!

[Sundae]

I'm working tomorrow.
I was tag-teamed into it.

First was a colleague appalled that she had to work on Boxing Day and advising me to check the schedule as she'd been put on it without her knowledge.
And me dancing around with joy because it turns out I wasn't.

Second was Mum being really dreary, convinced I'd told her I was working again before the end of the year, insisting that I checked. Then backing down when I agreed to go in and check, until I had to absolutely insist I was going in and asking.

Third was the floor manager on Friday, all wild eyed saying unless I'd specifically requested a shift after Christmas then I would not get one. But maybe? If I was free? They'd love me forever and want my babies if I might be able to do one?
Call me, I said, full of Christmas largesse and with pound signs ringing in my eyes.

And then fourth, M actually called. Please oh please and you are so wonderful.
Yes, of course I could work Boxing Day, no worries.
The day after? Oh, sorry, I'm going to my sister's. What time? Well, yes, if you're okay with me finishing at 14.00 then of course I can work.

So the short version is I am working 09.00-17.30 tomorrow.
A shift I would never have agreed to under any other circumstances.
Longer than I do at school. FAR longer than I have ever done at Boots before. The worst time of year for a shift, and such a long shift, in the very dead of winter. All this is folly. Apols TS Eliot.

But hey, the kerching still sounds.
There are probably paragons of virtue out there who don't overspend at Christmas. But I'm not one of them, and money, money, money will help in 2012.

I returned from my brother's house (and it was great, all the nieces and nephews there except the oldest niece...another story there) and we ate and laughed and played games and Dirty Santa. I got tools and a bottle of Yellowtail Cabernet. I traded a pizza stone for the Cab. I had a pizza stone and never used it and I know I'll use this wine tonight. My future niece in law was happy to trade. She likes white wine.

Anyway, so I get home and what to my wondering eyes does appear, a freaking CAR parked behind my house, where Homeless Guy used to park. Only...this car was his sister's car. She has vanity plates, first initial last name, so there was no mistaking it. I assume he is in town visiting for Christmas (or his sugar mommma kicked him out of Wyoming already) and they came to visit my next door neighbor, who HG really liked.

Still, why would you park there, except it's typical of the namby pamby passive aggressive crap he would do.

Anyway, after I'd finished slightly freaking out and checking every corner of my house, the car finally left.

What a lot of nerve, at the least.

Sigh, but it's gone. A little PTSD feeling there for a second, but it's gone.

I'm hitting the road tomorrow, and won't be back 'til somewhere between the 4th and 8th. Summer holiday, alternative festival, possible random wanderings.

You kids be good to each other while I'm away, mmkay?

[DucksNuts]

Alternative festival?? In South Australia?? Adelaide??


Must.bite.tongue....must

[ZenGum]

Confest. Run by a mob from Melbourne, held in southern New South Wales.

[DucksNuts]

Phew...you are safe then!

Have fun. Miss you. Love you.

Gee Zen, I thought you might have been headed up here for the Woodford Folk festival. One of my cousins is playing his Uke there, and a friends wife is in a Columbian dance troupe. Another cousin usually sings with one of the folk groups, but i don't think she is this year.

One of these days I'm going to make the trip for it myself.
