So..... yesterday, totally NOT my day after all. As you can see from the photo, I spent a great deal of my time on my ass. It was just an off day, I suppose, but a HUGE disappointment compared to what I had hoped it would be, and what I would accomplish. Caca. That's right, I said it, caca. There will be other days, right? And we all have off days.... even though they're a pain in the ass, in my case, quite literally.
I'm sure the fact that I was taken down a black diamond for the second run of the day was pretty much what killed all confidence.... bad times... and I was half way down by the time the others were at the bottom. Left to fed for myself on a steep, narrow slope...oh, and it was one of the chair lift lines.... fantastic. But, I made it, on my own, with some effort, but I did it, and that's all that matters, right? Totally humiliating considering I had an audience (oh yes, there's my main flaw, EXTREMELY self conscious ), but I did it. Made another run, went and relaxed in Death Jeep for a bit to calm down. I was getting frustrated, so I took a breather, got some food, and finished out the day. Taa daa. I can't completely complain about the diamond run, it was with good intentions, and I got a lobster in the end. Yes, a lobster. A bright orange and fluorescent yellow lobster stuffed animal, which from the lift going up, we initially thought was a monkey. I personally like the fact that it was a lobster, I'm not a fan of monkeys. Lol. Well, it's a crustacean of some sort.
It's the little things that mean the most. So, one of the group bombed down to retrieve it, and I shouldn't complain at all because it was a learning experience, I survived and made it down. Etc. But I felt the need to vent just slightly.
I did take some pictures of my dorkiness in my new boots before we went out yesterday, but considering my camera stinks, and the fact that they look like the crappy bedroom pictures you see on 4chan of the teenie boppers showing their goods on the web for attention (although i have a top and panties on), I figured I'll spare you the pain...... for now...... maybe... we'll see........ lol.
I'm HOPING for work tomorrow, we'll see if I get ''the call'' or not... as of Tuesday when I last worked, there was only one dog to groom in the book. Fingers are crossed that more were scheduled. This is usually a slow time of year from what I hear. The only crappy thing about the snow, I really don't go to my second ''job''... where I, eh hem, ''bartend''... as we'll refer to it for now. I don't see a point in driving Death Jeep that far on bad roads (it takes about an hour to get there on CLEAR roads), just to hope that people venture out, and I make some money. It's possible I could go there and make over 200.00 on a Saturday night, or I might make 20.00 if no one is there. So...... we shall see what this weekend and next week bring. After lunch, I'm going to go pick up a newspaper and look for something closer for a second job. There's a Starbucks right up the road from where I live, if I could get a job there, I'd have the two bed jobs in the world, work with dogs at one, work with coffee at the other. I'd be in heaven! Lol.
