Today was interesting. In the best possible way. Well, best short of coming home to find a naked Anna Paquin in my bed waiting for me.
--I finally met the weasel that is managing the apartment complex, who I had only talked to on the phone. He was just as I imagined him to be, and that rarely happens. Totally spineless douche, and I had to make myself not laugh at him. I took advantage of his weakness and his desire to avoid further confrontation with me over this whole sewer/trash nonsense to get something out of him that very few other tenants have. I was also entertained by his bitching to me about how much he hates his job and this town, and can't wait to get out. While he's here, though, I am pretty sure I am going to be able to use him to my advantage. Idiot.
--The toy shop was pretty busy, and I was performing almost nonstop, rather than sitting there reading much of the time. Also made more tips than usual, an added bonus.
--Booked a private magic show for a kid's birthday party next Sunday. Bonus to this is that it's a nice chunk of change into my pocket for a very short time period (30-40 minute show). Added bonus is that it's on a day when I am already scheduled off, so I don't have to give up a shift to do this. Even more bonus from being scheduled off, I won't be exhausted from work and rushing to get there, I'll just be very chill. Even MORE bonus is that these people know me, they used to be regulars at the restaurant where I do magic, and my presence and performance is going to be a surprise for the 12 year old birthday girl.
--Made a nice deposit in my bank accounts. Yes, plural. I had started a second account a while back to help me save up to move back to Phoenix (once the economy there gets out of the crapper), but in recent months, it had just stagnated at an unimpressive level. Well, I recently instituted a new forced savings plan on myself, and it is working well, so in addition to making a nice little deposit in my regular account, for the second week in a row, I have watched my savings grow.
--Unlike last week, very little drama at the restaurant, and again made more tips than usual.
--Continued to flirt via text with an amazing girl I hooked up with two weeks ago here, who may be coming back to town sometime soon.
Now chilling for a bit and unwinding before I head out on my (as of last week) regular Wednesday night 5 mile jog.
All in all, a good day. And, holy shit....not one real major douchebag, on the road, at either of my jobs, anywhere. Coolio!
Hope y'all are having as good a day as I am!
