Happy. After a typical haphazard 12 hour day of work, i'm looking forward to two whole days off. And, i get to go diving tomorrow! The magnificent Captain Steve Moore (www.keysmobilediving.com) called today and asked if Jack and i would like to go out on his fantastic little boat to go diving tomorrow! Whee!!! So excited. He took us out last week, and it was awesome. And he deemed me "Bow Candy!" I love having titles. Just hoping we don't have to deal with a 6 knot current like they had on the Vandenberg this morning. (For those poor, sad, deprived non-divers, a 6 knot current is similar to hurricane force winds, only in water. Not fun for diving.)
Today was hectic. I went for a couple hours with no phone calls, no walk-ins, then suddenly, eleventy-thousand people walked in the door, and the phone was ringing on both lines. This pattern repeated itself several times today. I was at the point where i was looking at the phone and thinking "What would happen if i just didn't answer?" Then i realized the answer to that query was "Subtropic might lose money," so of course i answered, as i am devoted to Dr Robin Lockwood (owner of Subtropic).
However, when i start to feel like being slightly-less-than-charming to customers, i recall a lovely post i read on both scubadiving.com and scubaboard.com, where a former customer praised not only our operation as a whole, but gave me a personal "you rock!" by saying how fabulous i am. Which i know to be true, of course, but it's nice to be reminded.
A curious question arose in my head at work today- why the deuce are there so many hangers lurking around Subtropic? We don't sell more than 20 items that require hangers! And, we haven't sold more than 5 of said items! I swear, everywhere i turn, hangers are everywhere! I think they multiply like bunnies when i'm not looking, then hold raging all-night hanger parties when we close the shop. That's the only real rational answer, no?
Well my lovelies, i must dash, as my two favourite boys just walked in the door (that would be Jack and Kenny) and Kenny has prepared us tasty Italian treats. I heart Kenny. Kenny is awesome. Kenny is glorious. It's not often that i get a former real life chef to cook me dinner and regale me with amusing anecdotes. (Kenny, if you ever happen to read this, it's official- as of right now, you ARE my FAVOURITE person in Key West right now, besides Jack of course. Don't leave, dammit!)
And now, FEAST!
Ciao amores
