A noble gas if you will. Oh, goodness. Sometimes you have to start the day out with bad Science puns.

So yesterday was an epic Monday. As previously stated, I slept for butt the night before, so I was exhausted most of the day yesterday. Think about all of the awesome side effects of being tired and then multiply them by a hundred. That was me yesterday. Irritable? You bet. Clumsy? The worst.

I started out the day grinding all of the stuff that came out of the kiln. I somehow managed to not break anything or grind the shit out of my skin. Then I set about packing orders. It took me about five minutes of order packing to notice that the tape gun was missing. Zaxxon had borrowed it to help Little Miss Cotton pack up a gift for her sister. It’s cool. I’ll swing by my house and grab my busted old one while I’m at lunch with Teacher Sis and the kids.

So, I grabbed my tape gun. And then promptly dropped it on the tile floor where the plastic parts of it shattered into a million little pieces. Sigh. So I proceeded to tape 12 orders worth of boxes by hand. I don’t have to tell you how much that sucked. If taping boxes by hand didn’t suck, they never would have invented a tape gun.

In the midst of all of that fun, La Duchess needed me to fix the printer for her. So, the first thing I do a snap the print tray off of the front of the printer. You know, the one where the final print lands after it is done printing. Knocked the fucker right off. Why? Because I had no concept of where my hands were. So, I’m trying to get the tray to back on there without actually breaking something and Le Duke pops his head into the library and informs me that the clay truck is here. Oh, Batman, give me strength.

So, we unload the clay truck. And I fix the printer. And I finish packing the orders. Somewhere in the midst of all of this craziness, I discovered my 8×8 Pyrex baking dish that’s been missing for a few months now. This is the part of the day when the Facts of Life theme song starts playing where ever I go.

What’s on the agenda for today? More packing orders. I might possibly have to work at the letterpress shop at some point as well.

On a much more exciting note, the Hobbit trailer comes out tonight. Mwhahaha…

I’m off to work. More soon. ~SC
