Books and worms
Work has been tough.
- Had a bunch of DAGS guys come by to change my lights (no Mr. DAGS because he's not an electrician), take pictures, and look over the building for a retrofit.
- Had a PO for a safe guy to come to work on our safe. It's been so long since we last used it (several months) that the person who usually opens the safe forgot the combination. I have the only printed copy of the combination and I couldn't find it. The safe guy waited around for about 10 minutes, then left for lunch. He said he would call back and see if we could find the combination. If not it would cost an extra $100 to drill it open. Of course, 5-minutes after he left, I found the combination. It was sitting right on the corner of my computer desk upside down.
- Spent an entire day at the bookstore w/my children's librarian and spent $1600. We bought 124 books. Doesn’t seem like much, especially with the 30% discount we get.
- Had a patron yell at me. He said I had a bad attitude, told me that I probably thought my sh*t didn't stink and then asked me what I was looking at. I actually thought he was going to hit me, but he didn't. The weird thing was, I don't even know what I did...
- Drove to Kapolei to be on an interview panel (Richard lied. He once tried to convince me to work there and told me it takes only 20 minutes to get to Kapolei from Auntie M's. It took me 40 minutes. Of course he weaves in and out of traffic in his bitty sports car and drives like a maniac, so I guess it would take him half the time). Had a nice lunch with some colleagues.
I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. I at least get to spend it shopping. Need to finish off my book buying for the year (online) and hopefully no one will come to yell at me. I don't think I can take much more driving, drama, and stress.
I think I need to do my taxes this weekend. Crapmonkey.
Tonight, after a very cardio Kathy class, we (Kathy, Annie, Sandy, Dan, KK, and I) took a field trip to visit Aaron at his new store location. He's quite the entrepreneur with 2 locations -one at Windward Mall and the second opening up last week at Ala Moana. We’re all proud of him. I tried the apple that was coated with Oreo cookies, milk chocolate, peanut butter chips and gummy worms (not my first choice, but I figured I could bring the leftovers home for C-Man to enjoy). It was sweet, but so good. I used to LOVE caramel apples. I won’t buy them from the carnival anymore. Once, Ex and I went to the Punahou carnival (when we lived next door) and bought one to take home. When I got home and looked at it in the light, I think we dumped it because it was so gross. The apple wasn’t even washed and you could see dirt in the core area. Yuck.
Am in the mood to bake. Think I will make cookies this weekend (if I have time). Am inspired by the new cookbooks I bought.

My mood: sleepy, in pain, and a little ill from the late night dessert
