I was very homesick today. My moods have been a little wacky this week, so this morning I was pretty down in the dumps before I had to be at work at 1230. Daniel helped a little by assuring me that he misses me and that September will be here before we know it; plus, I get to look forward to traveling with him a ton this fall. Anyway, part of the reason I was feeling homesick was because yesterday was a bit of a rough day - I had an older crowd on my tour who gave me a really hard time for being so young (I was booed by the entire bus for not knowing who Wyatt Earp was. "We want an older driver!"). I did some research on my break and came back to them with some better answers, so I think I may have redeemed myself a little bit there. But dispatch assigned me a coach that chugs between gears, which I could tell was uncomfortable for some of my guests, and one gentleman even had the audacity to ask me if I had fueled the coach before I came out. And to top it all off, one woman was able to predict all of the punch lines to all of my jokes, so I barely even got chuckles from the rest of the crowd. They were a hard group to crack. But I made it through and turned around after getting home to go rock climbing at the Rock Dump, which is the gym here in town.
Today I worked a short day (6.5 hours, I feel like they get shorter every day). I honestly had a good time running shuttle though, not that I want to do it every day or anything. I just really enjoy talking to folks and finding out what they choose to do with their one day in Juneau. After getting off of work, a coworker called me and invited me to go climbing again - so I did, and had a great time even though the gym here is nothing to get excited about (it actually concerns me a little bit some of the equipment they deem "safe" to climb on...). Dispatch got posted and I have tomorrow off, something that also concerns me because Tuesdays are our busiest days. Hoping this trend of little/no hours doesn't continue.
