   Impulse buys and exercises in futility.
Well, it's Monday! Day off! Yay! I've done laundry already.

The weekend is over. It was busy. Seems every night is busy now at work. Friday and Saturday we had a bunch of people in for college graduations. Saturday night there was a party for one of them in the ballrooms. I must say that the graduation party was worse than any wedding party we've ever had. These people were loud and vulgar. They'd come up the hall yelling obsenities at each other and laughing about it. I'm sorry, I see no point in getting that drunk no matter what the excuse. Sunday was supposed to be quiet and boring. It wasn't. I think that in a 45 minute period, the phone rang at least 30 times and 8 people checked in.... at the same time! It was not a fun evening. One of the truckers that's been there for a while was getting smart-mouthed at me that I didn't answer the phone when he called. Umm... I was on the phone and checking people in at the same time! Arrgh! In brief, I'm very happy that I didn't have to work today.

The Exercise in Futility: staying connected to the internet. I think the longest I have stayed connected with the laptop to the wireless is 15 minutes this afternoon. I've been working at this for a little over two hours now, and the connection seems to drop every 2 to 5 minutes. I've done a power cycle on the modem upstairs. I've deleted and recreated the connection on my laptop. Nothing seems to make any difference. I'm getting a little frustrated. I may have to give up for a while and return to the internet later this evening.... but my Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD is waiting for me.

The Impulse Buy: I stopped at the local stop-n-rob for a Coke on my way to work yesterday. I noticed an Indiana Jones scratch ticket in the lottery display, so I bought a couple... and won $100. I hardly ever play the lottery or buy scratch tickets. Really. I just need to decide what I'm going to do with the money. It may be spent foolishly.

That's about it for me today. I'm gonna go now and post this so I can do other things.

Laters!
