- <h2 id="general">General news</h2>
- <p>
- My mother now insisted that I attempt to switch shifts with one of the employees opening the restaurant tomorrow.
- If I succeeded, I'd have my closing shift tonight, then an opening shift in the morning.
- I'd be tired through my whole shift, then tired through the whole day.
- Even if I managed to find time for a nap, I'd likely still be exhausted, unproductive, and in a silently foul mood.
- I was going to walk in to do as my mother had requested, but they insisted that they drive me over, much to my dismay.
- They claimed that they did it for a speedy response as to if it worked out, but they waited about an hour before taking me.
- I could have been there and back on foot in that time.
- In any case, one of the openers tomorrow was there, but didn't want to switch shifts, two are shift leaders so I can't cover their shifts, and two were not responding via telephone.
- I love it when telephoning doesn't work out on the rare occasion that I even have to pick up a telephone.
- I don't mean that sarcastically, either.
- If I'm required to use a telephone, then in most cases, I want it to fail.
- If I'm desperate, as is the case with my apartment search, then I want it to work out well, but otherwise, any chance to say that telephones got me nowhere is a slight compensation for the fact that I even had to try using them.
- That said, I did honestly try to get my shift traded.
- </p>
- <p>
- With me unable to switch shifts, Vanessa and our mother took off for Gresham early.
- Instead of spending tomorrow fulfilling social obligations with relatives in my extended family that I barely know, I'll be here at home actually getting my coursework done.
- </p>
- <p>
- My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
- </p>
- <h2 id="university">University life</h2>
- <p>
- My plan for the day was to read my entire assigned chapter of the <span title="Principles of Business Management">BUS 1101</span> course textbook.
- I didn't do that though.
- Instead, I read the first two sections of the chapter, then noticed that the third section is the section that specifically deals with our <a href="/en/coursework/BUS1101/Three_types_of_organizational_structures.xhtml">essay assignment</a> for the week.
- What an awesome excuse to take a break from the textbook! I read the third section, then began my essay submission.
- It's mostly complete, but it does need a bit more information added.
- After adding that information tomorrow, I'll continue reading the textbook.
