I've got work this week. D:

"There is a proverbial saying chiefly concerned with warning against too closely calculating the numerical value of unhatched chicks." --Quintus, Stardust.

It took me far too long to find that quote in the book, considering I'd just read through that scene. Anyway, so when I got to work this afternoon, Ash informed me that my schedule was waiting for me in my drawer. ... SIGH. Here's how it goes:

Mon 1/21: 5:00-10:00
Tue 1/22: OFF
Wed 1/23: OFF
Thu 1/24: 9:30-2:30
Fri 1/25: 2:00-7:00
Sat 1/26: 11:00-8:00
Sun 1/27: 12:00-6:00

At least most of them are short shifts! I suppose Anthony will give me next week's schedule in person, eh? I'm going to call the store next next Sunday, though, because I'm nice. :3

Today was Kenny's last day. I'm gonna miss him; there's not NEARLY enough testosterone in the store. There hasn't been since October. D: Krystina and Vanita will especially miss him, as there's no longer anyone to molest.

Other than that, I've finally got a move on on my ichiP! outfit. I drew up the pattern a couple of days ago, copying from a flattering red dress that I own but never wear (for many reasons, most of them concerning the fact that, why, yes! I am female). I cut the pieces and as soon as I'm done with this entry, I plan on basting them and giving the thing a try. If it fits well, hurray, I'm going to bed, and I'll put permanent seams in it in the morning and probably on the way to work if I don't fall asleep as I usually do (or if I'm distracted by my ficlet, but thank the Goddesses that my train of thought was broken. ... kinda. It was a good ficlet!), and pictures will be posted when I make remarkable progress. And if it doesn't fit, I'm still going to bed. XD

The shirt that goes with it is going to copy a dress shirt that I have and wear for Sally and the Generic Ravenclaw that I love. THAT will be the difficult part, and if I don't get it finished in time, I'm going to wear the actual shirt. XD Layers are good! Winter cons are COLD! The dress pattern will be shortened for Toph's top. ^_^ Yo, Toph. Lemme borrow that top. You're not even wearing it! What are you saving it for? Aren't we friends?!

>.>; Yeah, that's a sign I need to get to bed.

Edit, 03:00 - Looks like the pieces work well together, now to figure out seam allowance (because I did it kinda wonky just now; I'm half-asleep), and I'll get on it tomorrow! WHEE! ^_^

Fragmented dreams.

I had a couple of more dreams while I slept, and though they were vivid ones, I had them a while ago, woke and went back to sleep several times, so I forgot most of them. I do remember there was one part where I was running around Shea Stadium; that was probably brought on by the fact that I lamented with Vanita last night that this was Shea's last season before the Mets move to the generically-named Citi Field (because Citibank is a sponsor. HOW LAME IS THAT SHIT) in 2009. D:

Sandra Bullock made an appearance thanks to Six Degrees of Separation on c_a. XD

I would have written them down when I woke up the first time but it was WAY too cold to get out of bed if I didn't have to. I kinda wish I had, though. :/ I think it's strange that I'm suddenly remembering my dreams with increasing frequency.

OMGOMGOMG

RACHEL IS GETTING MARRIEEEEEED!!! I got a relatively thick envelope with the return address of "Tony and Rachel" and a little silver-foil heart sticker on the back.

"This isn't what I think it is, is it? :::opens the envelope and SQUEEEEEEEEALS!:::"

I just wish it weren't on such short notice. D: The wedding is in two weeks, the Saturday before Katsu. I'd have to take the whole weekend off if I were to go because Rachel lives outside of Chicago, and I'd have to fly out, as well as get a hotel room. HEY GEN ARE YOU GOING?! I really want to go!

Relatedly, I hate my job. If it weren't for work, I could sit here and figure out how my stupid dress-thing is supposed to go together (it seemed to make sense when I was tired, which means I fucked up somewhere), and I could go to the wedding and Katsu no problem (not to mention CTCon and Otakon in the summer, because they're also a week apart). :///// BLEH.

BUT YAY RACHEL OMFGGGGG
