Happy Birthday,
daegaer!! :)We're swapping to the new uniforms, today, so I just had to cut the patches out of my old shirts, and I ragged them out while I was at it. So now I have six nice white dusting rags, twelve shirt fronts with pockets - I'm not sure it's worth picking the pockets off with a seam ripper but we could have more nice dusting rags - and a hurting right hand. I watched a Jeeves and Wooster ep to get me through it, but it was done before I was so I didn't have anything to distract me during the last bit where my hand was hurting the most. Also, watching Hugh Laurie fighting a losing battle with a roll of brown paper might possibly have taken my attention away from cutting for a moment or two. :)
People are teasing each other about being excited about the new uniforms, but I think everyone finds it amusing destroying the old ones. Orangejello started to rip the sleeves off his shirt the other night and another screener helped him with great gusto, rumor has it - there were buttons all around the breakroom yesterday morning, and supposedly there's a photo up on MySpace. :)

Packing for trip to LA = mostly done. (Things which will go into my knapsack are stacked on the console stereo, but I need the knapsack for work stuff, today.)
I'm debating, though, over the two pairs of shoes which might be superfluous. I've got them in the suitcase right now, and it doesn't weigh much, but I might want to lighten my load. I'm already planning to wear (on the flight) my black boots that I wear at work, and those look alright and are very comfortable (I've fallen into a habit of wearing them every day). These are the ones I wore last year at the Faire, so they'd be fine for walking around if I happened to do that with my brother after class. And then I plan to take the sandals which I'm planning to wear to Faire this year, they're very comfortable. So I'm not sure the high heels and the brown oxfords make sense. I only included the brown oxfords because I didn't want to have all black shoes - I thought brown would look better with the one pair of tan trousers I packed. But they're no good for walking in - they look as if they would be, so it was a disappointment that they're not. And the heels (which are quite comfortable) got included because I packed a skirt... but the boots would still be okay with the skirt. So, should I cut the oxfords and the high heels and lighten my load a bit more? I'm already surprised at how little I feel I need, compared to most of the travellers who's stuff I look at.
