Y'know how sometimes life turns in a weird direction? Yeah, that kinda just happened to me. My store's in chaos at the moment. The beer lead (my direct boss) is moving to center store inventory, the former center store inventory person is moving to floral, several people got fired in the last few weeks for apparently stealing literally hundreds of dollars from the customer service desk registers, it's a fucking mess. That alone would make me iffy about sticking around at this store, but the Read more
And so we begin a happy new year, random visitors to cammy.somnol. I know the people at the store are ringing in 2023 in style; had a guy sitting in the cafe for three hours drinking Natural Ice and nursing a bottle of Xanax, pacing very bizarrely and apparently buying lots of cigars. There was another one at the store today (day off but we had to run in for milk) pressed up against the glass window in the front, staring and making faces. I'll admit, I did not end off 2022 the healthiest Read more
Big real-world news of the now: I'm working on getting my passport! I have completed my DS-11 and I'm looking to get photos taken the first week of January. I think most people dread paperwork, but honestly doing the form gave me a weird kinda glee of officiality I can't describe. Having to gather all my information and get it filled out and filed really makes you feel like it's getting closer, something that I stopped feeling a long while ago, sadly. Then I just file everything at the post Read more
Well, I dropped the ball on the journal thing. It's not that there aren't a lot of really fantastic legitimate real-world goings-on in my life right now! It's that I also collapsed a bit under the holiday retail joy and not being able to finish anything out of a mountain of drawings and site pages. (I'll explain later, but archives will be eating really good in 2023.) And anyway, it's Christmas! It's a time to vibe, and I got a neat controller, so I just hunted for more RetroAchievements. So Read more
And that's it—for now. I've survived that freakish ten days of pain, the Alcopocalypse. Tomorrow I'm off. I celebrate with alcohol. (What else do I celebrate with?) I kinda wish wine wasn't so disgusting, because to be honest, the wine slosh hits different than the beer slosh. Wine is usually higher percentage, so one small bottle's all you need to get tipsy. I dig that. It's too bad it tastes like chlorinated pool water. We have so many different discontinued kinds of wine that I would Read more
Well, I've gotten my schedule for this week, and it's fucking scary. I'm working 39 hours total, one day off (not even my usual day off, Thanksgiving), and Black Friday, I'm working a nine hour shift. Last night in general was a whirlwind of emotions. I got my schedule and that wasn't fun. I drank an alcoholic maple bacon slushie from the slushie machine and laughed my ass off the moment I took a sip (it is literally just drinking a sausage and it's the most bizarre thing I've ever tasted). The Read more
One last update on the Savannah stuff: she's officially on the top-level somnolescent.net with us! This kinda site really was meant for five people, and now we have a much, much better, much more excited and productive and cool-to-talk-to fifth person. Spot her all over the site! In the tree! Having a sleepover with us! Carrying a djungelskog! (She's also finally on the humans.txt, which I neglected to list her on earlier this year... Did I mention we have a humans.txt?) I've recently taken up Read more
Halloween is past, into the 55 days of Christmas! The scariest part of my Halloween was when a man with a vaguely eastern-European accent came in and put $40 into our lottery machine without quite understanding how the lottery works. I've made all the links from the old site redirect 501 Not Implemented while I get everything resituated. Some of it will be coming back, some of it will go back to mari.somnol, and others will be redirecting 410 eventually. Sorting through it all individually as I Read more
I had to go into work on my day off yesterday! Beer has a nasty habit of hiring very unreliable older women with bad attitudes, and this one's been out sick like ten times in her first month. This is to say nothing of her habit of leaving early the moment she sees me go into the building, long before her shift is over or my shift even starts. (Needless to say, the store is looking for a replacement.) Everyone was thankful, I got a gift card, I got some more hours towards my end of the year Read more
I'm a goofball and I got way too drunk last night. Sometimes, you think trying new things is great fun. Sometimes, that new thing is Four Loko, and it causes you to sit blankly on the bathroom floor, hoping you don't throw up. Missed the rest of the group call, passed out before I said goodnight to anyone. Never again. Anyway! I got that Setter done a few hours before then, so hopefully cammy.somnol launch soon?? Read more
