Off-call, on-center?

Ahhh, so I must admit that as much as I do love the money that comes with getting those 3am calls, I also LOVE the knowledge that I won't get one of those 3am calls! I was on call Thursday night--I didn't get a call, but I also couldn't fall asleep. I finally fell asleep around 1:30, only to be woken up at 7 by the power (half) going out. It's very bizarre--many times, when the power goes out at my apartment, half of my apartment (the bathroom side) has power, while the other half has half-power (super dim lights, etc.). That's what happened Friday morning. So I got up, turned off/unplugged all of the stuff on that side of the apartment, set my cell phone alarm, got back into bed, and then got up at 8 for work. Ack. The good news is that I actually went to bed around 10 last night, so I got tons of sleep for today.

I get to go home tonight and... I don't know. Not do anything, but that can be good, I guess. I have a stack of video games calling my name, as well as some movies, books, and Target gift cards. I suppose I should take advantage of the tax free weekend and see what I can find at Target! We'll see how I feel when I get to that side of town in an hour. What I really want is Red Robin, but I think everyone's busy. Boo.

I was able to score some floor seats for the So You Think You Can Dance tour this fall! YAY! This is a good thing. The other good thing is that I had a Ticketmaster gift card that covered the whole thing. Even better! But the bad thing is that it's in BALTIMORE. Ugh. I hate that city. Seriously. I wanted to go to the Norfolk show (not that I love Norfolk, but I love Newport News and VA Beach), but that was the ONLY show not available on Ticketmaster. Sux0rz. Oh, well. I'll deal! The only sadness is that Chris isn't in the top 10, but I'll survive somehow. It's a miracle that I got good seats to this--my first shot was floor about 40 rows back, then it moved into the stands, then the upper level. I about panicked, until I searched ONE more time, and floor seats had opened back up. Whew! I still think we're about 30 rows back, but they're better seats than 10 rows up in the 2nd level. It's also a miracle that I got these tickets because I didn't get tickets to see the Idol tour (Ohhhhhhhhh David Cook, how can we get MARRIED IF I CAN'T GO TO YOUR CONCERT) and didn't get NKOTB tickets, either. My marriage dreams are crumbling by the minute, seriously. *Sigh* Maybe I'll get lucky and win Idol tickets before my husb... before Cookie gets into town on the 14th.

Ah, well. Such is my life. It's getting time to start closing up the library and stuff. Maybe I'll make a Target run and veg out for the evening. I do have to go funeraling tomorrow, although I don't think there are any services--so it will really just be answering phones, cleaning, and waiting for it to be 5pm. But hey, work is work, and I'd rather be a little bored than really stressed--at least at the funeral home, anyhow!
