School...Yuck!

I start school a little less than a week from today! :( My first class is at 8:30am on Monday. Though, I'm done with classes by noon for Mondays and Tuesday, which is a nice feeling.

I didn't get as much done as I wanted to this summer. This summer went by so fast! I can't believe it! I didn't get ANY Dreamweaver or Flash practice in (I just spelled practice "practise" -- English way). I'm hoping to cram stuff into my brain this week, but I don't think it's going to happen. My brain is fried and I'm fighting some sickness.

Work last week as stressful because our new DM (District Manager) was making her first formal visit to the store. Everyone was on pins and needles and trying to get the store in shape. As the "Bargain Queen" I'm responsible for how the bargains look and, with the hour cutting, getting them out onto the floor. I spent 7 hours on Friday and 7 hours with another person getting bargains out. We got out ALMOST 3 palettes out. I was SO proud of us! there's a little more than 1 palette left and it's all "overstock." I've gone through it all.

I was hoping to have a semi-calm week, but it's not lookin' too good. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, then I'm helping a lady who broke her leg in to places for about a half hour each day, and then I have a podcast recording to re-record our news for Ep3 -- that is now over a MONTH old. Would have been out a week or two ago, but my editor's computer got fried because of a storm and a lovely power surge. He had to rebuild his computer, but he saved pretty much everything. Wednesday I work from 10am-6pm, but I have an "Employee of the Month" luncheon with my boss and a couple of others during my shift. Then Thurs and Fri I work 7pm-11:30pm, but I have house stuff to do along with everything else. In a lot of ways, I feel like I'm doing two jobs because of the lady I'm helping. She's nice and I enjoy going over to help her. It's just hard dragging myself over there, sometimes. :)

With that, that's all the news I really have.
