    How are you guys passing the night? I may work at a hotel, but I would not want to do Housekeeping. I don't envy those ladies their jobs at all!

    I've had better and worse nights. I'm trying to control the pain on a dog that was hit by a car and lost almost all the skin over the torso.

    That would've been a tragedy!

    Today has been a fun one.

    During my shift yesterday, I dropped my phone. This broke the LCD screen in a way where the phone turns on and I can hear the text messages I have gotten but I can not see or get to them. All other buttons work and I tried multiple ways of fixing it to no avail.
    I was CERTAIN I did NOT have insurance on this phone(I'm on a plan with AT&T with my mother,sister, and father) and I eventually come to terms with the fact that I will have to just shell out the money I FINALLY got in savings, on a new phone.
    I am stressed about it and don't like it. I've only had this phone since February. Total sadness.

    So I wake up today at 5pm to race to the AT&T store to find myself a new phone. They tell me they can't really see the account with the number I have, since I am not an 'authorized user' on the account for payments and the like. Therefore, I will have to pay full retail for any phone I pick out. Already saw that coming.. So I discover a fabulous phone I could live with, that doesn't have some outrageous price tag, but they are out of stock. I head to Best Buy and they have one.

    I buy it, insert my sim card, and call my mother when she promptly decides to tell me that after we got the phone, she decided to put insurance on it after all. To add to my silliness, I did NOT have to buy a new phone because I had my old Samsung Galaxy S3 in my desk THE WHOLE TIME.

    So I return the phone I bought to Best Buy and they were super nice about the whole thing.
    Granted the S3 is a Verizon phone and doesn't recognize the sim card, but I can make/receive calls and send/receive texts and that is really all that matters at this point.

    Lesson Learned: When in doubt, call your mother. Which I could have done from the home phone at the house.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I am not stupid. But man, oh man, do I feel stupid today. And SUPER TIRED because I missed out on SO much glorious sleep....ugh...

    I just started my shift. 7½ hrs to go. I did a 6 mile run yesterday morning with friends over in Seattle. Capitol Hill has some evil hills. (>_<) Typically after a good workout, I fall asleep easier but yesterday was tough for me. It was upper 80's during the day and I find it hard to sleep in warmer weather. I am tired but thankfully it's my Friday.

    All that sounds very much like something I would do. I would also be the most pissed about missing sleep! Because sleep!

    Earlier was Arachnophobia. It's a silly movie but it makes me think every time I have an itch, it's a spider crawling on me. :smile:

    Sufferlandrian, on the same note I would have a hard time not putting my hands on some pet owners.

    I'm out at 7...4 more hours. My tot is gone for a few days to gramma's so when I get off I'm going for a bike ride, having beers, taking a bath. It isn't even my "weekend" but it sure feels like it!

    To pass the time I'm folding a moutain of towels while watching YouTube. Just finished a full-face of makeup...at 3 a.m...and I'll see like 10 people, max...but I feel pretty, oh so prettttty!

    Many years ago I was a housekeeper for a hotel. It was icky. Even ickier? Cleaning people's homes. While people do stuff in hotels that they don't do at home...home is where people let reeeeal loose and get comfy. Definitely weird/gross shizz in homes as well. People are just weird and gross.

    I finally got a smartphone last year due to an accident. I was out with my friend at a show (went to see the opening act and wound up seeing a band for the first time that I'm now in LOVE with) and we were Drunk. Capital D, drunk. I was like, 8 Sierra Nevada pale ales deep and pretty sure I had some Jameson, which I typically don't drink (I drink bourbon at home but usually no whiskey in public). I wanted to go outside to smoke and didn't want to waste or lose a beer so I put the beer in my purse assuming I would remember to keep it upright. Wrong. My phone was a flip phone, had no internet and took pics as well as a potato so it wasn't the worst thing ever...memories...

    Edit: This public drunken behavior is not typical of me. Just want to throw that out there. I mean, I drink. Beer nerd, bourbon fan, margarita lover for sure but drunken and in public?! Hadn't re-visited that scenario since early 2000's...it was fun though!
