Chaos, Panic Disorder . . .

Starting from today and working backwards to the best of my ability.

Today - Work was semi slow but still stressful. Mostly due to managers putting undue stress, as usual, on the workers. That and I was dead tired on my feet for a glorious open and 9 hour shift. I actually opened better than when I'm awake, which was a bonus. I was earlier and punched in early, which was a bonus. Lunch was faster, which was a bonus. So when I got home I was so tired (and no, I didn't lay down because I knew if I did I'd throw my sleeping pattern off for the rest of the week)I fell asleep while trying to play WoW (after eating lunch.) I decided to surf LJ and post, considering I was too tired to actually write for NaNo so I closed out WoW. At work we started the hands for the RMHC (Ronald McDonald House Charities) which means asking people if they want to donate a dollar. I predicted when I learned a while back this was going to happen that people would not be receptive and, probably, hostile. And guess what, they were. But, that's the way the world's going, especially America. I had someone argue they gave me a quarter even though I held up the nickle they had given me and though they acknowledged it was a nickle they still demanded that they had given me a quarter. I just told them to forget about it and gave them the change they wanted. I took a quarter someone had left behind in place of their nickle. I heard the lady (if you could call her that) say as she drove off that she wanted to shove the quarter she was trying to give me up my ass. Just gotta love retards like that . . .

Yesterday - And the reason why I was so dead tired today. We had the craft show at the Elks lodge which didn't end until 5. Knowing I had to eat before a certain time to let it settle I decided to have six hotdogs (yes, 6) and after eating 5 I decided enough was enough. People because of the weather and lack of customers (it is kinda out of the way, even though they advertised it) bailed so I ended up packing up the crafts and van (with help from Tiki) right after eating. Needless to say I had massive indigestion and so sat up to compensate for it. I woke about every hour and felt rotten. So yeah, I didn't get much sleep. Yesterday was interesting as the sky turned dark, one lady said that the night before she had heard thunder and seen lightning. I was like oO and everyone was like OO when all of a sudden it started to crack thunder, pour like crazy and all Hell broke loose. It didn't last long, which was a relief. Once I could I headed home because Fuzzy called to let me know he was awake so I could go get him dressed and out of bed and checked the Weather Channel online to see the storm had formed on the edge of town, blossomed into a monster over town and faded out once it left town. Talk about unusual November weather for here . . . And we sold less than our space.

Saturday - Which was kinda made up at the regular craft show at the mall where we made just over our space. We made it easier on ourselves by just packing the van up and leaving it for Sunday and Sunday packing it up and leaving it for today. The show went good. Not as busy as it should have been but busier than last month. I predict the double day show right after Thanksgiving on Black Friday/Saturday will be slower than normal (and I've signed up for four spaces, which means a total of just about one work check for that show . . .) The one in December which is a Sat/Sun show probably will be slower than normal (gee, look at the economy, I wonder why /sarcasm) and I plan on taking the same four spaces again. The guy who runs the craft show said he didn't know with the economy and the way crafters except the dedicated ones had bailed on him already if he could keep it going next year or not. I'm still planning on it which is why as long as the weather stays good enough I plan on, once I have my molds, casting plaster and making up tons of candy.

As for work last week it was the typical stress, stress and more stress followed by bitchy people, ect, ect, ect., Basically life as usual.

Other than that, not much. Just plugging along. Tomorrow I should be more rested and have more energy and can get to candy making or, at the least, get some more writing in. I'm falling further and further behind (at least I'll have this Sat and Sun for the Write-In so I should get a lot of good writing in.
