Another day, another dollar.

I can't believe it's almost 9 AM already.

I slept through my alarm for fifteen minutes; when I finally did get up, Alex was woken up by the sound of the alarm turning off. He looked up at me and said, "Daddy, it's not time to get up yet. It's still dark." He never did go back to sleep, though.

I added some new icons today - mostly space-themed. Check 'em out here if you're so inclined.

This morning, driving in to work, I realized abruptly that I hadn't removed the snow from the roof of my car. I gave a few people unintentional, impromptu object lessons in Why It's A Bad Idea To Tailgate as the car warmed up.

I see that GURPS Vorkosigan is back on the schedule. Yay for incandescens!

And now, an impromptu poll. (Note: "college" in this poll is used to mean "undergraduate study" or "study toward a bachelor's/baccalaureate degree".)

Okay, since I can't edit the poll, I'm going to make a note up here: I'm using "retail" and "office" as catch-all descriptions, not as in "I worked in a store" or "I worked in an office". "Retail", in this poll, means "a job that had irregular hours and hourly pay", while "Office" means "a job that had regular hours and either hourly pay (wages) or yearly pay (salary)".

[Poll #220621]

Hmmm nothing for things like summer jobs before college. I never worked anything resembling full time, but did have several summer jobs.

Before college I worked part-time oddjobs at my parent's printshop, and after that closed, did the laundry for my mom's massage therapy business... had to choose 'no job' because that didn't much fit the other choices at all. A spot for 'odd part time jobs' would have been nicce.

I worked for the family business -- no set hours, variable pay, no real 'call in sick' thing. Mostly I did mailing assembly and sorting. Sometimes art/coloring...

But I put down No Job because it wasn't really a job. Just sort of... chores, I guess.

I probably messed up the poll a little bit... ;)

I wanted to go to college, but the chronic fatiuge just made it too hard for me. Usually I'm an A or B student, but I just couldn't get to class and get homework done, so I really started to slide, and my councilor let me go "on hiatus"...

Someday I'll go back.
