About Last Night

| life | work |

It didn’t go so well. I spent 6 hours on my feet and made just enough money to buy a cup of coffee this morning that I am going to need to stay awake after that long shift.

HOPEFULLY! this weekend will be a lot better. I just do not understand peoples irrational fear of having someone park their car? It is the only thing that is truly free (tipping is optional) in Virginia Beach. They are paying for it when they get their $250 / night room so why not take advantage of it? I would honestly rather make nothing in tips than stand around doing nothing for six hours.

I am going to have to try a new approach to appeal to these people. If I make them think that they “need” to have their car parked or… if they do not have their car parked then they will be missing out on something then maybe they will be more inclined to let me do so. lol

But something really cute did happen. A Little kid came up to me and was like “Mr. can we ride the luggage carts?” hahaha.. i was like no buddy thats not safe sorry. Adorable!

The Blandness of Systematic Rules vs. The Delight of Localized Sensitivity

Marcin Wichary brings attention to this lovely dialog in ClarisWorks from 1997: He quips: this breaks the rule of button copy being fully comprehensible without having to read the surrounding strings first, perhaps most well-known as the “avoid «click here»…
