Aww! Poor gal. No new ski partner? I'm sorry; I wish I could fit the bill. (But do I! More bad news from home. I'd much rather stay here.)
Well, a lot can be said for boredom, too. Some versions of "excitement" are not beneficial. Though I admit, when you're in the middle of them, it sure doesn't seem so! I hope you get what you want, and soon. :D
Yes, I do know that there are worse things than being bored. I realize that. When I'm not bored. Actually, maybe I should replace "bored" with "trapped". Left to my own devices, I'm all but incapable of being bored. There's too much to do and ponder and fantasize about. It's when I'm stuck at work, with nothing to do, and I'm expected to keep alert and look busy. That's when my mind crumbles into dullified little bits and I sneak online to complain about how bored I am. *shrug* It works.
So you are solving your boredom. Go you!!! But the circumstances you describe, I can understand. I'd rather in retail & customer service stuff that it was a steady flow. I still don't understand the phenomenon that makes everyone rush in at odd times, and then leaves these huge blank spaces. The demographic statisticians can feed me all the factoids about social clumping group mentality, probability and the like. That is the definition of the behavior seen; that doesn't say anything about why people condition themselves to behave like that. People are not mindless, or most of them aren't, at least. They do not need to behave like a raindrop model or a bunch of ping-ping balls in a wind tunnel. Humor me, people; use the minds you were theorectically born with. You don't all have to come at the same time, and if you space it out, you really will be helped more quickly.
Guess it's my day of the rants. Don't you just love PMS? So endearing! Let's have Michael do the rhumba for us, to warm the cockles of our hearts. **admires icon**

Look...I'll juggle for you. Da...da...da...da...dum. I didn't even drop one. Wasn't that exciting?? Umm?
I should get a web cam or something. (But then you would see that I wasn't actually juggling because I am not that clever. Doh!)
