Dial 'K' For 'Kiosk'
(But only if we get a working phone this time)
Today marked Mel's final day of freedom. Which was celebrated by sleeping in, doing homework and staring outside at the rain which only seemed to let up long enough to tease us. (As in: it stops raining long enough for me to think its safe to take Shady outside, and then lets loose with a torrential downpour when the dog & I are at the furthest point from home on our walk.)
Tomorrow, Mel gets to grumpily rise and eventually shine as she accompanies me to work. Yep, the winter kiosk shows up tomorrow morning. I can only wonder what sort of silly-arsed things are going to leave us weary and homicidal this year. After all, it's hard to outdo a kiosk with no electricity for a week, no phone line for two weeks, and a month before we get any real banking information for it.
So far, things are looking optimistic. All the technical computer bits for the kiosk were shipped to our store on Friday, and a quick check of all the assemblage shows that not only is everything in perfect working order (with a notable lack of a printer with a giant dent in it, unlike last year), but they also have a scanner this time around.
It's a very sleek and black scanner, and looks like an oversized Philishave. I think I'll be commandeering that scanner once the kiosk closes down. It's a very happy scanner.
Should I be worried I seem to be currently suffering from scanner envy?
In other news, I had many a colourful and silly anecdote to share about the past week's goings-on, and with the exception of getting to watch Gabezilla run around with half of a high chair strapped to his backside, I can't recall any of them.
Today's Lesson: sadly, it's possible to get outwitted by an empty cardboard box.
