time spent, keep the change...

so it's 7:30p.m., wednesday night, and here i sit, at the lab, bored out of my freaking mind! i don't understand why we're even open this week, or why we're open so late at least. i'm only here another half hour, but it's been pretty slow goings all day, and week for that matter.

i did end up printing today. the first time i have done that in two years...literally. it was nice to get back into the darkroom and find that patience that otherwise escapes me in every day life. i must say, regardless of the length of my absence or what not, i am a fucking damn good printer. it is the one thing i take complete pride in. i was only making some test prints today, just fucking around for the sake of doing so and wasting time. i messed around for about an hour and a half, and then shut everything down so i wouldn't have to rush around later to get it all done. i think i may print some more tomorrow...maybe break out the fiber paper. i dunno, depends on my mood in the morning i suppose.

and though my day at work has been fairly pointless, minus the time i spent printing, the rest of my day was very productive. i got some items returned that i had been meaning to do for a week or so. then i went and bought film for my trip next week...13 rolls to be exact. that was a nice $70 gone, even with my ex-employee discount. oh well...hopefully it will go to good use. i also got the last bit of stuff i'm going to need for the trip purchased, which means all there's left to do now is organize it all and pack it before monday. shouldn't be too much of a pain in the ass, as long as i get on it before last minute sunday night. ha!

well i hope everyone is doing well, and isn't minding the weather too much. today was my kind of day, but as is texas, i'm sure that will change by tomorrow! later!
