Tonight, I have something positive to say with regard to my current job. Amazing. :)
Tonight, in a rare twist of scheduling, the deli manager worked the evening shift with me. Since she usually works the morning shift, most of the time she's getting ready to leave right when I arrive for the evening work. But tonight was different.
For the second day in a row, I inquired about the possibility of getting rescheduled so that I could get a bit of time off to participate in next weekend's great gathering (which has yet to be assigned a title, or, to my knowledge, even an officially approved venue, lol).
Since there was one person going on vacation, and another who had already asked for next Friday through Monday off, getting me off during those same days was... tricky. Initially, she wasn't sure if it was going to work. But taking into account that spring break begins that weekend (which means the store will be much less busy than usual), and then tweaking around with the shifts of other people who will be on duty...
Today, the customer rush was extra slow in the deli. One might even ask, "What rush?"
The night shift worker who came in to relieve me took one look at how much salad and other stuff in the cold area was left over, and said, "Slow today, wasn't it?" A trained and experienced eye.
Meanwhile, in the news, is there no end to the stupidity of this country's ruling bodies?
Rhetorical question.
During the coming days, between my shifts, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to haul Dagobah over here and set it up as the firewall in Argo's place, so that Argo can be mobile for the yet-to-be-named gathering. That could be a minor project, given that it might require a kernel recompile, and/or a network card transplant, and of course moving my hackish little firewall scripts over. Hmmm... Maybe it would be better to just throw new ones together from scratch. Or not. We'll see.
I realize that since Argo came to rest here a few months ago, my dad has become dependent on having a NAT gateway, given that he now has 2 computers on the internal network. What's he going to do if and when I ever get my own lodging again, and take all my computers with me? I guess we'll worry about that when the time comes.

Nothing more to say now. Goodnight.
