Whew! What a week! What a summer!

In fact, where did summer go? I mean srsly? It’s already Back to School! (I capitalize it, because in my industry it’s more than period of time, it’s an event.) I have to say tho, I have been having a blast. Every weekend off Richard and I have had places to go, things to do, and met new folks all along the way. It has been the Summer of Twitter, as we have made a few Twitter friends into real friends. That’s always odd at first. Going from contacting someone online thru Twitter, to actually dialing them up on the phone and getting together for drinks or meals. Heh. I love Twitter. Anyhoo, I think my summer is coming to a bit of an early close, as my work schedule has me booked the next three weekends. I don’t socialize much on my working weekends because the hours are just to extreme, what with the 5 and 7 AM starts or the late closing shifts. After the 3 weeks of work my parents arrive. 7 days of tour guide. Wee! Then we are already into October. Bam. holiday. 2 months of loooong work days, few days off… Another year passes.

Do you see why I am always tense? The passing of time is so cruel for us career retail people! Gawd I am stressed out now. Heh.

I was thinking it’d be fun to post a weekend recap or something. Then I realized it’s Wednesday. Erm. It would all be old news. Next time, I guess.

Yikes. I need to really refocus myself. But not today. I don’t think today is a good day for that at all.

For the first time since we have lived in San Diego, Richard and I are off for Pride Weekend. So what do we do?

Skip town! Really… We are going up to LA tonight for a bit of Outfest ‘08 and an after party. Fred mentioned it to us and I think Richard caught him off guard when he said he wanted to go. Now we are both going! We’ll be back sometime Saturday so we aren’t missing everything. Heh. I just think it’s funny we are leaving town.

As you probably know I am getting the new iPhone on the 11th (or as soon as I possibly can since I work that weekend). So I have been watching the iPhone news pretty closely to be sure I can transition. You see, I’ve not had mine *that* long, and there is a 2 year contract and all… Most of those questions are now answered:

iPhone 3G questions, answered

I can’t even wait..

I neglected my blog yesterday. I hate when I do that. Makes me feel like an absentee parent or something. I could have at least put up a funny YouTube or something. *sigh*

Anyhoo, not much has happened. I just finished Father’s Day weekend, which I didn’t think I would survive this year. Not due to myself, but other issues. work is complicated, and that’s as far as I’ll go with that here. Yanno. I barely had a moment to call my own dad and wish him a happy Father’s Day! So I am thrilled that the weekend is finally done. This week looks to be normal. That is a relief. I think I need to go be social. Maybe the Cruise Director *cough* Fred *cough* has got the SYTYCD parties going now. Auditions are over right? It’d be nice to see all the Idol Boys again…

And there really needs to be a Happy Hour this afternoon. Really.

Or more accurately, working the weekend. Three to midnight no less. I already feel frustrated about missing all the fun stuff my friends are probably doing..

Anyone wanna stop by for cocktails at 12:30 AM??

Awake again. I can’t even believe I was in bed before nine last night. I don’t feel like I went to bed early. Weird. Of course I was woken up twice in the night. Once by my neighbor, who was apparently having a three AM hot-tub frolic. The other time was by my own digestion! Ew, I know.

Anyways. Back at it again today. Maybe it’ll be less hectic at work than Saturday? Riiiight.

For all of you having a 3 day weekend: I totally envy you.

*gets ready for work*

Since you are off today I am sure you’ll have plenty of time to entertain me with comments?

I totally recorded a podcast today with my iPod. I was on my way home from work, and as I drove I talked about my weekend, I bitched about work, and just chatted. I think it could have been a good one. Would have been nice, seeing as how the rest of the day blew chunks.

2 things. First, I already posted about most of that crap I talked about. Secondly, I really should put work stuff in a member’s only post.

Oh, and then I just now listened to a bit of it. The sound sucks. Sucks bad. Again. Ticking feedback sounds. I don’t know what it was. I had thought it was the radio that I had on the last time that did it, but it was off this time. Same ticking noise. Weird. I just tested it sitting here in front of the computer with my cell phone nearby and I was as clear as a facking bell. So what is it in the car interfering if not the radio?

So much for mobile Daniel, eh? I am sad.

Anyhoo… about that work thing:
