Back From My Work Weekend

So I went up to Ripon this weekend to work. I hid out on campus...in my own dorm room...with a car in the lot with a license plate that reads "PERK UP" (my mom's). I missed the RA check the 1st night, even though I accidentally left a light on in my room before I left for work that day. The swimmers moved in Friday too, and I'm guessing if the RA noticed, she assumed my room was a swimmer room too, since the girls down the hall are. 2nd night was close-call-free. In case you're unfamiliar with the process, I had to "hide out" in my own room because if you're staying the night on campus after you were supposed to have moved out and before you are scheduled to move back in, you have to pay $25 a night. I was a tad worried about having my mom's car parked in a campus lot because campus parking tickets are $50 without a permit, which her car does not have, and parking on the street was not an option because the police ticket during fron November til April for snow removal (even though there's still snow everywhere). No glitches, though. I'm like McGuyver...

Working was maybe worth it... I worked Friday and Saturday, 4 until close both days, the best two days out of the week. I can definitely say that I DON'T like the new tips policy. We are no9w getting all charge tips in our paycheck, so we only leave with whatever tips we made in cash. When you're working in a restaurant in a hotel-type place, a lot of people room CHARGE or use a CHARGE card, so cash tips aren't common. I left Friday night with 50 cents in my pocket. :-/ Saturday was better, but nothing great. This sucks.

I went shopping with Emily today. Katie didn't come because she opted to stay in EauClaire and shop with her not-boyfriend-(maybe?)-'s little sister. Pff. Em and I got some great deals though, which rocks. We came home to dinner at my house, which was delicious. Had an interesting drive home: my driveway was black ice and we started slipping sideways just before the crest (my driveway is a huge hill, for those of you who don't know). My first reaction was to hit the breaks, which I realized was the worst idea ever as soon as I did it. Super Rebecca saved the day, though, and after leaving half my tires on the driveway I managed to get the car up the hill. I have a little research to do on traction control and if my car has it. If it doesn't I have no idea how we got up the hill at all. Miracles do happen, people.

My ReplayTV for my dorm room is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The tracking last said it was in Oak Creek, which isn't far. Now all I need to get is a TV to hook it up to in my room... That's this week's task... We also need a bigger fridge and a microwave. Oh, by we I mean I. (Double-single room this semester, in case you're not up to date.) So much to do, so little cash...

On that note, I'm going to go sit on my ass in the TV room.
