tonight and tomorrow while i'm supposed to be waiting on line for less than minimum wage so a friend of a friend can be the first on his block to own an iphone.

people who really do this stuff have material to hang over their "area" in the event of inclement weather but i don't have that kind of stuff (and can't afford it on what the guy is paying me).

i can't flake out on him -- he's had his heart set on this and i said i'd do it. so, it's gonna have to be up to him to decide whether he values a person more than an iphone.

for some green room acts and, god, arranging for international flights has become hell. they keep wanting more and more information that you don't expect and don't have ready because they never wanted it before -- dates of birth, passport numbers, passport expiration dates.

this is just since last year. what has happened since last year?

it can take so long to buy tickets that the tickets you're buying aren't even available anymore by the time you're ready to complete the purchase, a point i haven't made it to, 'cause i'm still waiting for someone's passport inf.

i think i may have missed a fare discount and i don't have all day -- in this case not just an expression. i'm getting like a hundred bucks to sit in line as proxy for a guy who wants an iphone and i gotta be there before 6.

not much cash for 24 hours of duty but i need the money.

this is my life.
