The Farmers Market went...good. Not great by any stretch of the imagination and I certainly didn't hit my "monthly fixed costs" goal but the weather was crappy (low 50's, cloudy, and rainy) and it was the Thursday of Memorial Day weekend so lots of folks were already jetting out of town. I'm scheduled to go to the market again in 10 days so I'm hoping for better weather and better sales. Despite the not so great sales, this market did help push me ahead of 2009 sales-to-date so that's always something to be happy about.
The Shop Class book got a too little heavy on the philosophy end of things for my liking. Not all together surprising given that the author is a PhD in philosophy, but as someone who barely managed to stay awake during Philosophy 101 this got a little too theoretical towards the end for my liking. (It's not my fault that I was scheduled for an 8am Philosophy 101 class, right after morning varsity swim practice, and the classroom was really the local movie theatre. Nicy comfy chairs, dim lights, long dronings on about philosophy and I'd already been up for 3 hours. C'mon, I really can't be blamed for all the times I fell asleep!)
I have an appointment to talk with the zoo about the part-time position on Thursday. Someone suggested it's not worth doing this and my company as money isn't everything and I have to add that while I did bring it up, the financial end of this really isn't the thing that interests me about the position. I need to talk with them and get a few things straight in my head and then I'll lay out the reasons as to why I did or did not take the job.
