Yeah, so one of my jobs is watermaster of an irrigation canal which doubles for collecting a lot of the storm drain water for Orem and part of Provo.  Okay, first I've only got paid on time maybe two or three times in the last two years.  Second tons of people illegally dump garbage in the canal which has caused me tons of trouble this last year.  Third, the water table has been so low over the last six years or so that I have problems meeting water demands and I get about 10-20 calls a day of people complaining... like I can make it rain or something, blah.  Of course, my dedication has got us over three times the water we would have had, but it just goes unnoticed.  In fact, I've got complaints before from people who were actually trying to steal water, some are even open about it... I guess they don't find any wrong in stealing.

I got a few serious issues with another job as well, but I'd rather just forget.  :(

Saturday is my day off, and I'll be getting up super-early to go to the Magic pre-release tournament, and then after that, apparently we're going to be having a session with our roleplaying group that evening.

So I don't expect to be very awake or relaxed after my day off.  Work, on the other hand, could not be going much better.  I LOVE working swing and sleeping in, and apart from that swing shifts get paid $0.50/hr more. It gets so quiet there at night, and I have cool friends to chat with.

This week has been going so slooowly. Because, of course, it's my last week at work. I look for Friday and liberation! But in the meantime, I have a paper due tomorrow--the beginning of weekly 5-pagers again--so I'm keeping busy when I'm not at work, but can't do homework at work, so I'm finishing up the projects I have and just being bored. And I know that made no sense and I'm not going to edit it. :P

My day just brightened considerably. I just got an email asking me to come in for an interview for an internship at the Horn Book magazine. Wouldn't that be great?

My day has been good so far. I didn't get up until 10:00. Let out my ferret to play and be mischievious. Just got back from volunteering at the Mental Health Center, where I got help serve lunch and help with their art hour. I made one of the patients really happy by drawing a contour line portrait of him while he was sleeping. Now I have to go to work where I'll be dealing with people's petty problems. Well, all good things must end.

I have a 2500 word Shakespeare assignment due tomorrow. I've written 497 words.

Oh, and I get kicked out of my house this December, so the current plan to move out BETTER work out, or else I'm on the streets.

I've got a 4 day residential school over at Armidale, starting sunday.  This is the result of doing uni by correspondence; you've gotta go over there for a few days, and have the whole course crammed into a few days.  Oh, and drink lots of coffee.  Or sleep.

Stan Lee came into my office today. One of the editors got his Captain America shield signed.
