Last weekend I went out and found the mall. I live just up the street from a fairly large shopping center, with an Old Navy and movie theaters, but this is what people around here refer to when they say "I'm going to the mall." It's about 15 minutes away and at first I thought it was tiny. Then I found the second floor. It's about the same size as the Meridian Mall, with all the normal mall stores (Spencer's, Abercrombie, Belk, etc.). Weirdly, there were as many vacant fronts in the food court as there were in the entire rest of the mall.
I also sold tickets at the football game recently. As I was put on the athletic committee, I have to work two football games, and selling tickets is the least objectionable of those jobs (security? cleanup? concessions? no thanks!). Each of us three sellers were given a roll of 1000 tickets. I sold through mine and almost 300 tickets of the guy-next-to-me's roll. (That's a horribly awkward construction, sorry.) This, of course, caused the athletic director some mild conniptions in accounting since each money bag should only have the money in it that corresponds to that roll of tickets. I guess what I should have done was taken his tickets and his money bag both since his window was shut down. It's not like it was that tough to figure out: my bag should have all the money for 1000 tickets; anything extra goes in my neighbor's bag. But, I guess that's what happens when you just stick someone in front of a window with no training, lock them in the booth, and leave them alone.
Did a really cool chem lab the other day where we turn pennies into "silver" and "gold". As with all great chem labs, you know it wasn't really great unless there was an injury. Behold:
El-li-ot!
School pictures are in. Never happy, but wev.
Oh, I was in the news recently (this link may not work for long). Here's a screen cap of it along with the kids hamming it up before the severe trouncing.
Heading to see Copenhagen tonight at the local university. Expect a review soon.
