Wii Musings

Not to sound ungrateful, but I thought long and hard about getting a second job. It cuts into my free time. It's dashedly hard. And, let's face it, a Wii is a fairly frivolous item. But I did think long and hard about it. A job that would last a little over a month seemed just perfect. I would make my money slowly but surely and be able to get my new toy in October. Then I found out that I get tipped out. At a restaraunt which, by Gardiner standards, is fairly expensive. And I made all the needed money for both a Wii and a Wii Fit in two weeks. In less than a quarter of the time that I thought it would. So I geared myself up for nothing? Is that why I'm feeling somewhat disappointined? And what is going to happen in two weeks when tourism falls off and I'm not making this kind of money any more?

Days of my life

Today, while in Livingston, I got a phone call from Delta saying that my May itinerary has changed. Since my mom had scheduled the trip, I called her but she said that we would probably get an email update. When I got home, I had received an email. "Your itinerary has been changed." It had a link, which I followed. When I got to the site, it said that it needed my last name and the confirmation number. After several false starts, I finally figured out which of the three numbers it was asking for. I got an error message saying that they could not retrieve my information because my itinerary had changed. Uh huh. That's why I followed the link. So, after 5 minutes of that, I finally decided to call the number the sales rep had left on my voicemail. 10 minutes and two people later, I found out that one of my flights had been changed. It is going to take off at 9:12 instead of 9:08.

15 minutes trying to figure out that my flight is leaving 4 minutes late.

Tonight at yoga, I concentrated on gaining patience.
