Ramblings of a Samurai and his Duct Tape

Here's hoping the weather gets really bad

I know I have to go to bed soon, but I want to stay up and continue writing my nano. Work is getting in the way of my Nanoing. We here in america have the thanksgiving holiday, which for most people means they get a five day weekend. Being in the entertainment industry, this means my hours are all messed up to provide for the people who are traveling up or down 35 tomorrow. For some reason our boss decided to be an idiot and also schedule our all dealer and floor focus meetings for today and yesterday.


What all this means for me is that I have to go in two hours early and then work a regular shift on what is supposed to be my day off. I did get a saturday off this last weekend to kind of compensate, but it doesn't quite satiate me. I've been behind this whole month on my Nano, though I've finally been making some good progress these last two weeks. I have six days left to write nearly 20,000 words. I'm also working thanksgiving evening too, though I have monday off to compensate for that. I'm sure I'm going to spend that whole day writing to try and finish on time. I may need to make another donut/Energy drink run to have enough fuel for that.


Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll get a blizzard that'll close 35 for a few hours, thereby preventing me from going to work. Does that make me horrible, wishing for something that'll prevent hundreds of people from traveling?
