I'll have a Smooth Mint Masterpiece.

Things at work are going pretty well for me. I like dealing with the customers, and my bosses are really laid back. I feel like I'm a go-to for when people don't show or when they need something, and so that's a nice feeling. Today I got called in, so I'm heading to work shortly for an indeterminate number of hours tonight. I suppose that if we're closing at 9, though, even if I stay the whole time it won't be too bad. Those 9 hour weekend closing shifts take it out of me, though. Good heavens. I worked 22.5 hours this past weekend. Yeah, I had (almost) no time to go out. Things will be calming down soon, though. They are hiring more people and getting a routine established.

I discovered today that I can't get any equipment to do my midterm project for Cinematography that is due on Wednesday. That's swell. Ugh. So I guess I'm going to do all the paperwork and talk to Huixia about it, since it's not exactly my fault that I can't get it done. I mean, it's not like my friends are going to have professional lighting kits lying around that I can just borrow. I could scrounge a camera, but not lights and flags and filters and C-stands.

So, yeah. I also have a 3-5 page script due on Thursday. I haven't figured it out just yet, but I'm thinking about it. It's just going to be a simple thing, probably three scenes. I'm working on a film about Jeremy (well, a fictionalized Jeremy) and his escapades in a creeper-van, and how he can't get any friends. It's a comedy.
