1. It's been a slow couple of days. Work is simultaneously boring beyond belief -- business is very slow, partly because of the continuing Commons construction project, partly because we have been trimming back our stock, partly because people just don't buy as many magazines and newspapers as they did eight years ago when I started working at the smoke shop -- and stupidly, ridiculously stressful -- we still don't know any concrete details about the renovation project except the footprint of the space we will lose to the elevator and stairwell, which includes not knowing where (or even if) we will get a new bathroom, when the work will begin, whether Mr. Speakerphone and Real Estate Company have agreed on the terms of a new lease, or really, anything at all.
I would even prefer hearing that we're going to shut down and I'll lose my job. I just want to KNOW, goddammit. The uncertainty is driving us all nuts.

2. In related news, I really need to schedule an annual physical checkup before I hypothetically lose my health insurance. I should do that tonight, actually. My clinic takes email appointment requests, and ye gods and little fishes, I hate making appointments over the telephone.
*time lapse*
Okay, I just sent in an appointment request. We shall see what comes of that attempt.

3. In unrelated news, I really, really want to talk about what I wrote for Jadefest, but due to certain factors, I pretty much can't say anything without blowing my anonymity. (I will explain this weekend. At great length, most likely.) But I can safely say that my recipient liked my work, which is always a relief. So yay for that!
You know, I think I may go write up a reveal day post, because why not. :-)
