I like monkeys

The title of this post has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I thought it sounded fun. So it is about 5:30am on Sunday morning...that means I have 9.5 hours left in my work week and I have worked 30.5 of my 40 hours in the past 38.5 hrs (started work on Friday @ 3). I LOVE 16 HOUR WORK DAYS!! No sarcasm, it's nice to have three days of nothing but work (and school) and then four lovely days off for my own stuff. Gives me a good chance to be lazy, do my volunteering, read, watch movies, and do my projects.

So I got my taxes filed: love turbotax.com. You should try it. It is quick easy and there is no actual paper involved. Getting a really good tax return this year. Goal is to put half in an IRA, buy a decent digital camera and just leave the rest along for emergencies. *eye rolling* Not sure that'll really happen.

This weekend we've been busier at work than we have probably since last spring. We've been totally booked for the past two nights. To give you an idea of how dead things have been, I could go through an 8 hour shift (11p-7a) and see nobody at all. It was nice, if a bit quiet. But this weekend, I learned the meaning of when it rains it pours. Literally. We had a pipe burst in the ceiling of the first floor. Fortunately it wasn't in a guest's room but guess where it was...wait for it...it was in the electrical room. The room that we have our phone and pay-per-view movie stuff in, as well as our satellite channels stuff. I heard water running, went to see if it was the ice machine and saw water leaking from under the door. I opened the door and it was raining inside. I was soaked from head to toe. It was not good juju, not good juju at all. I was lucky enough that it was on Friday before 5p so I could get someone out AND nothing was damaged. I spent hours mopping the mess up and dealing with about 75 check-ins, but what's life without a little drama, huh? I don't have little people around, so guess I have to do it myself.

I am proud of me though, I got 3 quizzes, 5 discussion posts (one pretty long as it was a original argument in a debate), 200+ pages of text and 3 articles read for school. Sigh, I'll be glad when school is done for the summer and I can have a few months off before starting grad school. Speaking of school we had to take this authentic happiness quiz for my healthy people/healthy places class... quiz was kinda a waste of time (class definitely is!), but not too bad. Mostly, I dislike those self-examination type things.

Oh, and I decided I'm weird. Not just kinda weird, but really a lot and a bit dorky too. :) Just thought I'd share.
