Today, I got the opportunity to hang out with a friend for the vast majority of the day. I wasn't looking forward to being on my own in my room for the majority of the day, so having the opportunity to get out of my room and be social for once definitely helped with the feeling of solitude :)

Today was my last day of holiday work at the movie theater. It was actually a pretty good shift, but I'm definitely glad to be done working there for a month. After the holiday season, I would have to say I am a tad bit burnt out from all of it and will take this break with open arms. On the bright side...my paycheck is going to look awesome next Friday... :)

Today at work it was probably the best shift I've worked the entire month I've been back in town working. I don't know what it was about the shift, be it who I was working with or the amount of work that was necessary for the day, but everything just fit together so nicely that it didn't feel like the shift was dragging on or taking forever. There was no drama and no issues. I loved it :)

Today, I had a productive meeting with the other supervisors at the movie theater where I work. There had been so many misconceptions and misinformation going around through all the staff, it was nice to get everything out in the open and get everyone talking. I think things will be much better now that we've had this talk :)

Today, I was organizing parts of my room before I left for Muncie on Sunday. I found some crazy old things that I wrote, made, or studied. I had some papers from my sophomore year in high school, a couple journal entries from 2008, and all my yearbooks! Some of it was embarrassing, but there are some pieces I'm not ready to let go of yet :)

Today, I was working at the movie theater and I was walking down one of the hallways when I was approached by a mother with her two kids. She told me that she was watching Monsters Inc. 3D, but her daughter didn't like the 3D. She wanted to know if it was ok for them to go see Rise of the Guardians since it was not in 3D and had just started. Normally for something like that we allow them to go in no problem, but 3D is $9 more expensive. I told the mother that it was fine, but I thought she'd want to exchange tickets so she could get her money back for the 3D showing. She said she just wanted to get her kids settled as soon as possible, so she didn't care about the money. I took her ticket stubs, told her to go in the movie, and I'd come and find her with the new stubs and her money back. She was so appreciative! And when I told my manager about the experience, he was very proud with how I handled the situation. It was a great feeling!

Today, I decided to continue to celebrate the small things, despite my reprieve for the past month and a half. A lot has happened in that past month and a half, including some grand technology failures, but it's time to pick this back up and remember why I started it in the first place =)
