Victoly!

Well! Today was pretty good at the college - I found out from Professor Hillyer that Mr. Homa got us a person to do layout for the Racket! It's one of his students, too, so they'll be working with him directly, which is good. So we've got everyone we need! Our new business manager has already sold hundreds of dollars worth of advertisements, we've got dozens of articles; way more than we need, and all by the deadline; and we've got our layout guy! So that's all coming together wonderfully. I stayed after lunch, too, and did some more editing for the articles that came in this week. It looks like some really good and varied stuff. I'm quite pleased with the way things are going!

Also, I finally tried something new at the cafe - instead of my usual sausage egg & cheese roll, I had a bacon cheeseburger, since I've heard they're really good there. Which I can now confirm - they are. Nonetheless, I don't think anything beats Eddie's breakfast sandwiches, so I'll be going back to the usual next week. At least I can say I tried something else now.

After leaving the school, I had lunch with Dad and then went to work at 5:00 PM. Work honestly started out kinda badly today - I started out the day by telling one of my managers that he was nuts and then realizing five minutes later that he was actually right, and after that it kinda went downhill, with me doing one thing wrong after another. Things improved after my break, though; I got to check next to my buddy Kyle, so we chatted things up a bit, and once I relaxed I stopped screwing everything up. And I finally figured out how to do WIC checks on my own! That's actually really good. Those and rainchecks are the two things that confused the hell out of me; my getting them down pat is good for everyone. Now I don't have to call for help every time somebody tries to pay with a WIC check. Yay.

They also let me off early (9:00 PM instead of 9:45 PM), which would have been great if it weren't for the fact that Dad took the car and I had to wait until 9:45 PM for him to pick me up anyway. As it stood, though, it was still nice - I got to sit around in an empty parking lot and enjoy being outside (cold though it may have been), and talk to my family on my cell phone while I waited for Dad to show up.

So yeah, good stuff in the end, as always. Now I just have to see how I did on this morning's biology exam...
