Drunken Owls and Other Delights

 It does not bode well when your coworker texts you an hour before your shift starts with the words "Did you lose power?" [As it happens, we did not, as we are on a different grid than the store up the street.] The power was indeed out for about two hours probably due to a transformer blowing up the street, but all was well an hour after I logged in. I was still nervous about it happening again, however. Thankfully it did not!

So today is the second of two midshifts, and the rest of the week will be opens. Which I'm fine with, given that I've been waking up around 5-ish anyway regardless of the alarm. I'll have more time to do a few things I've been needing to do at that time. I am worried, however, that I'll be scheduled to work on Sunday as one of my coworkers is going to Outside Lands. I really don't want to have to work his shift, especially if he normally closes on that day. I've been tempted to request marking myself as "unavailable" on that day soon. It depends on a few things that are still up in the air, but we shall see.

Okay, time to prepare for work! Woo!
