Today we had the opposite of our usual problem at work and we're overstaffed.

[up]Congratulations!

I've had a small personal victory-moment at my job as a museum educator. I do most of the guided tours and team-building exercises and whatever else we have to offer, so I'm the one with the most frequent contact with customers, which includes school classes. I'm pretty good at engaging kids, but the greatest ego-boost is whenever I get the aloof too-cool-for-school types to be interested, and even join the discussion. Hardest nut to crack, but so rewarding when you get them to talk.

Finally took my new car in to be serviced. It now has fresh oil and the seat belt pretensioner isn't in danger of exploding.

It may be the day before Mother’s Day, but I just made my day of work good, by giving a couple of customers a good laugh. :) [tup] There was this married couple shopping together, and the lady was carrying their baby daughter in her arms. I told them about my books, and not only did they seem very fascinated by them, they laughed when I said that, considering what goes on in my stories, their kid might have to wait until she’s 16 or 17 to read them. ;P

Recently bought a new cable for the Xbox controller that I use with my PC to replace the old crappy one. It's so much more fun to be able to play without the cable accidentally disconnecting every 30 seconds.

A few minor victories

  • I've now read 70% of the Bible (NKJV version)
  • A month ago I was 250lbs. Today, 242. That's about 2 lbs a week. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
  • I got a 50 cent pay raise, which equals an extra $80 a month

One of the customers shopping today gave me the best compliment I’ve gotten all day. :) She said that my working in a grocery store is “a side gig,” which implies that my writing books is my true calling. grin

I listened to the boss theme from Star Fox 64 while fighting one of the bosses in World of Warcraft, and it was awesome! grincool[awesome]

And to follow it up, I played the music that plays when you accomplish a mission. cool

Speaking of Disney, remember when I said that I thought up my own Disney movie? I chose a title for it. [tup] I’m going to name it after its leading lady, Sorinna.
