Personal Failures

- May the fourth be with you.

- I pulled The Tower reversed this morning and boy did it deliver! I feel like I say that a lot. I also feel like it's true a lot. I got to work on time (maybe even a little early!) and settled in to listen to the last few minutes of That's Spooky. The discord said that one of the other girls I was supposed to be opening with was sick which is fine. Who hasn't been there? But where-oh-where was my shift supervisor? I don't have access to anyone's schedule but my own so I just chill. Ten minutes past 5:30 AM I look into it. It's this one person. Okay. Two other people have been trying to call the store but I don't have a key so I can't really help with that. The other girl says she's been trying to call the shift. So I get the number and call too. No answer. Fifteen past 5:30 AM I call the interim manager...who lives like an hour outside Anchorage. She tries to call the shift too. No answer I guess? Another person who's supposed to be there at 6:00 AM has gotten pulled over for a speeding ticket on the way in...from Wasilla/Palmer. The upshot is that when the next barista got there we ended up just walking over to a coffee hut and getting coffee walking back and talking for an hour until our manager finally got there. 🤷 The tower, man. She topples. People were mostly fine, but it was lots of Customer Service Martial Arts until things got back to a manageable state. And this one shift (who I super liked actually) is probably just fucking not coming back. Which I'm bummed about. You know what was great, though? As I was driving to work I just thought to myself: "I'm here, I'm bi, I have no authoritah." And how true that turned out to be.

- Last night didn't start out promisingly, but turned out okay. L stayed the night with my in-laws because S had to work today (somewhat last-minute). I dropped L off at the in-laws after a grocery pickup and going to the library. S was out of sorts because, it turned out, he's strained his left tensor fascia latae or maybe his vastus lateralis going up and down lots of stairs. We ended up watching Lisa Frankenstein which was great. I wish I could remember my dreams. 

- I imagine my inner therapist as looking like Julianne Moore. What does yours look like?

- Time to clean the last few bits of the downstairs before getting ready to take L to a birthday party. I got a copy of Crazy Rich Asians to read over the week off/while I'm waiting for her to get done with the party. I guess I could go work out at the Y too. Hm. Maybe I will 🤣

- In the meantime I'll probably be listening to this, this, and this. Join me *beckons*.
