I plan on going on the 6th (Saturday) because I don't work the next day (if my work schedule stays the same for the next few weeks). Going before the Village/Museum closes at 5pm is iffy since I get off around 3 and even if I took my stuff with me, it'd be close to 4pm by the time I get there. So, I might take the time between getting off work and gates opening to get all the items (cooler, snacks/drinks, jacket, etc) together.

July 3-6th (Wed thro Sat) Gates open at 6pm, and DSO starts at 830pm Location is at the Walnut Grove in Greenfield Village Tickets GA: Members -- $27.75 Non-Members -- $32 Youth (5-11): Members -- $20.50 Non-Members -- $24 Because I have a membership, when you purchase your tickets (can be done easier there at the ticket counter in the Museum lobby), there will be a discount. I would like to 1. go there after work and spend even just an hour in the village. 2. If that doesn't happen, I do plan on bringing snacks/drinks (non alcoholic as bags are searched) and a chair. Important to Know 1. This is outside, rain or shine. Dress for the weather/comfort. Bring rain gear/warm jacket just in case. 2. Walnut Grove is about a half mile from the main gates of the Village. Wheelchairs can be rented (in advance), or personal can be used. (313-982-6001 is the number to call for reservations) 3. Wagons can be used. I plan on bringing mine so I'm not carrying a cooler, snack bag, chair, and maybe an umbrella. 4. Photography/Video can be taken.

I plan on being there. Card if possible please.

Relaxing at home after work and then coming home and putting in the window A/Cs.

I'm usually quicker than this. I plan on being there.

Sore from another straight 8 hour shift. I guess it's part of my work ethic where if there isn't that second dishwasher, don't put me on break. I'd rather be in minor pain and keep up with dishes than to have 'em pile up for a half hour.

Wonder how long it'd take for the kid at work to leave. He called off work today (some time after asking for the schedule for the upcoming week), and wasn't successful in getting out of getting a point. I know this because it was in the group chat for the BoH texts. Yet, I'm lazy? For the full story, it's in the "How Are You Feeling?" thread.

Waiting on the amazon order i made to arrive by 9pm.

Like the 39 some hour week I just spent busting ass (due to the original morning disher/utility person) went to waste because the actual lazy disher who showed up today wanted to toss that on me. Like really, dude? I was the only disher/prepper (portioned out food in baggies) yesterday. And I was the only prepper yesterday. Today, before I left for the day, my manger asked if I was willing to come in and work tomorrow due to not having a morning disher. To keep track: 5 - worked days 4 - 8 hour shifts 1 - half hour break (we're supposed to be getting these) 2 - days with employee meals 1 - day of portioning food, wash dishes, repeat until we get slammed for about two hours And yet I'm lazy when, upon asked what I do for washing silverware I do something else. Yes, being called lazy was sparked by a front of house manager asking for silverware. The other disher had grabbed a flat rack and asked if I used that. We have three silverware racks that I use to sort said silverware BEFORE using the flat rack and washing it all. He goes and just dumps the silverware onto the rack and washes it. Now, I half joked about earning a pin (seahorse pin) that employees can earn yesterday about the amount of work I did. Do I actually expect to receive said pin? Not really; since I had to ask about getting a sailboat pin employees receive after training. It'd be an actual shock if I get the seahorse pin.

A nice hot bath (with a bath bomb maybe) after work tomorrow. 3/4 days so far doing 8 hour straight (1 day with food and no break, 1 day with food and break, and 2 days with no food/break). We'll see how my friday works out. If I do a full 8 again, hello almost 40 hours.

That's the court system for yah.

Like no matter how many times I've talked with management at work, certain members of the wait staff cannot: 1. Empty the plastic glassware into what's used to contain the ice and then rack said glassware. Some would empty the contains and just leave the glassware/coffee mug right there on the deck (what I call the dirty dish area in the pit) or leave the glassware in the ice catcher. Today I told 2 of the wait staff (not blaming them, just general overall) that leaving the glassware like that needs to stop. 2. Grasp the concept of stacking like dishes together. Doing that makes my job easier, so I can just rack it all up (scrubbing if needed) and rinse off before putting them through the machine. 3. (or 2b) putting silverware and ramukins (sauce cups/spin dip dishes) in their respected soak tubs. I'm half ready to put the silver container into that tub so the wait staff can do that. Trust me, the kitchen of a restaurant is no joke (this is my 4th not counting McDonald's), it's barely contained chaos. But anything that makes my job as dishwasher easier is greatly appreciated. Though after the comment I heard today (I was doing a freezer pull. from our main freezer to our kitchen one), I'm half tempted to invite the next person who says it (something like 'don't we have a dishwasher?/Where's our dishwasher?") to do what I do with no break or food and stand by that point pushing 7 hours. Oh, and you gotta do it by yourself. Why? Because that's what I do until 2 when the next disher comes in. The organized pile of dishes took me 20 minutes (30 tops when the other disher came in and started putting stuff away) to clear through.

Oh, the sister knows I'm at the point. It's her going off and being with her friend (and her nieces/nephews) instead of being at home and doing what we've discussed. This week alone she decided to drop the "friend's now homeless for a week until a lot opens at the trailer park down the street, and we're keeping some of her stuff here in the garage". I didn't spend time between two days to reorganize the garage for that to happen; and yeah I was upset. Any bet she wouldn't like it if I did it. And last night decided to stay at the motel with them. I'm getting tired of her going off like this when she's not working. I was on my feet 8 hours yesterday and today with no break (we're allowed a 30 minute break for food). I had food yesterday, but didn't get to eat until I got home (picked at the fries at work); and had no food at all until I got home today after stopping real quick at the store. Just over 16 hours on my feet between two days, I wanna come home and chill for a while before doing any house hold chores. I was gonna go see a movie today, but didn't trust the sister to be home to let the dog out after being locked up all day. Keep in mind that Friday the morning/opening dishwasher/utility person just walked out, and after a quick talk with the chief (original time was 9-5) because I'd come in to a mess at 9 and it'd take a good time to dent the dish mess to come in at 7 and avoid that. I don't feel like doing housework when I'm coming off of an 8 hour shift with no break/food and the sister's off doing whatever she wants to do. So ... yeah, she knows that if I start cleaning the house, it's gonna get purged. If it looks like it might be important, it'll be saved, otherwise it's gonna get trashed. Of course I don't feel like purging when my knee's hurting, my left foot feels like I strained a muscle, and both ankles hurt.

Could it be this? Police Standoff and Fire

What to title the book that's tied into the original works. Each book focuses on one "mythological" species (shape shifter (into animal forms), witches (yeah i know there's legit witches), werewolves, vampires, any others you could think of), and each book is tied together somehow by mentioning some event that's happened in a previous book or a character in passing that is focused on in a future book. 1. Haven is the first book and serves as intro into the whole world and focuses on the shape shifters. Main locale would be in a fictional city in Arizona. 2. Idea would be to focus on the witches next. 2a. Have been playing with the locale being in New Orleans and the large family having ties in near everything within the city and have a number of divination/psychic shops. 2b. The shower idea is a bit like the book "Roots" where it's set somewhere in Africa and ... that was about it until I'm sitting to write this out. Matrilineal village setting, near everything is passed down orally (not that oral, Troy). And the next in line to lead the tribe/village learns how all the species are tied.

Clean some of the house and let the dog out.

Watching rSlash on youtube and eating food from work.

Debating if I should eat something before bed or go to bed.

Like the house isn't gonna get cleaned. All my stuff is in my room or packed in the garage. Everything else is either one of the sisters' or my dad's. I know there's stuff they wanna keep/go through, but I'm at the point of telling the sister to take care of it (save/throw away) or I'm gonna just toss it and you won't like that. I'm finally got the motivation to be making plans and wanting to do them, but really can't because of the overall mess of the house. Part of it is my sister's making plans to do after work and won't come home until late and then will go to work. IDK what to do since I've told her several times to focus more on the house instead of going out.

I plan on being there. Card if possible.

After like three weeks, I bring to you another vlog. Work Adventures has some of what I've recorded while waiting for the shuttle and a bit at the MacNamara when we were meeting there.
