that was a nice little nap.

There's nothing quite like having three whole days off to ease the sting of so many days at work. I have slept long, luxurious hours, and I have seen my significant other, and I have played some Scrabble. However, I do get restless without anything to do, so I picked up some shifts at the theater, and celebrated my return to work late tonight / early this morning by wearing my pajamas. Okay, fine, I didn't have three complete days off, but I had three days off from this place.

Amazingly, my dear friend Dauby-- the tug who gives us perhaps the most patronage-- has a relatively early call-out tonight, and is making only a one-way trip. When I heard this from my dispatcher, I happily declared, "Sweeeeet" and ran on out the door. I ended up getting here a bit early, adding an unneeded 20 minutes to my workday, but that's fine, because I'll still get paid for over twice the amount of time I put in. Minimum pay requirements are grand, ain't they?

I've been occupying myself for the last hour by reading blogs of interest, and now I hear the radio chirping at me that the tug is almost here. Heh. I haven't even signed in yet. I suppose I better do that iffin' I want to be paid at all.
