    With the exception of being in the chatroom here, I have not been in a good mood.  A lot of things kept coming into my mind about current events, and the museum hasn't been helping much.  I think they're advertising "Dumbass Day" every day for the past two weeks.  Dumbasses get in 75% off.  And they all congregate to where I'm working.  Here is an example of an exchange that takes place at least four times a day on the Zephyr:

    Guest: You told me that the next guided trip was at 2:00.

    Me: Yes, sir, it is, and it is not only 2:05, but, as I told you, we have a 20 person maximum, which was filled up in advance.

    Guest: This is the sixth time this has happened to me today.

    LISTEN, YOU DUMBASS, AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES YOU WALKED OFF IT MIGHT HAVE ENTERED YOUR MIND TO STICK AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lord Krishna knows I try to be a patient person, but I am finding this patience being chipped away at little by little.  It came to the point where I didn't want to speak to any living being, with one or two exceptions.

    I need a vacation.  As soon as I get the money together I have my destination already picked out.

    However, yesterday I was again called in to bail out the U-505 exhibit.  They were falling behind, and, as usual, they turned to me to straighten it out.

    THEN, tomorrow the museum is sending me and two of my very talented coworkers to a family event at Boeing headquarters in downtown Chicago. I found out why I was selected.  Boeing told the museum "Send us your best."  They turned to me first.  We'll be doing Pocket Science for four hours, entertaining as well as educating.  I'm really up for it.

    Okay, yes, it is true.  Me and Josie Brissette are dating.  I mean, ACTUALLY dating.  While we may live in separate cities, we do what we can to get together as often as we can.  We IM, text, and talk every day.

    Thanks for letting me vent.
