impyGuys. Do you any of you live in the path of the total eclipse of the heart? Do you have enough tourists crawling through your city/town/state that you kind of want to crawl into a hole and not come out until after Labor Day when EVERYONE has gone home? Or is that just me?
It might be just me.
Soooooo... over the weekend work was slammed and we're down to a skeleton crew again because people quit or moved or transferred or something else entirely. For reference, usually there's a dip in traffic about an hour into my early shift and then another around one until the bars close. The dip in traffic did not happen until 3. I kept getting calls all weekend asking about eclipse glasses (no, we never got any, no) and I saw so many sunburns.
So many people. I work overnight to avoid people. This was a neverending stream of them and I had so many things to do!
Let's see. Eclipse, eclipse. I'm going to post this soon because they're pretty much expecting outages once the fun starts this afternoon.
Made my Nanea order because again, eclipse craziness. I wish they had the new BF stuff on Amazon but they don't so I gave Mom the extra money to cover the goddamn taxes and shipping and called it good. I am going to be so pissed if this stuff goes on sale within a week, just fyi.
Anyway, it's noon and the madness begins in about an hour. Woo?
Ahahaha... it's getting cloudier by the minute. I can't tell whether I'm annoyed that my view is going to be terrible or amused as hell because SO many people slammed the city and this, this is what they paid for.

It's about to start storming here. Figures. :p
