Man Who Wasn't There April 27, 2003 - 7:26 p.m.

Yesterday...

We stopped by the first aid tent when we got to Lexington (location of the horse show and my job of the week) and asked them what could be wrong with my eye. Yes. It was still swollen. And yes, I still went to work. When you're desperate for money, you'll do whatever you have to.

I had taken a Benadryl before we left and that seemed to help, but it was still way swollen and I still wanted an opinion. The guy could tell it was swollen. Probably looked like I had been stung by a bee. Well, maybe not quite that bad. He told me that they could flush it if I wanted. Um. No thanks. If that's the problem, I'll just deal with it. Otherwise, they had Benadryl there, so if I needed more I could come back and get some.

Which was very good to know, because two hours later, my eye was gimping up. Not nearly as bad as the day prior, but annoying all the same.

I tried my best to cope with it. While waiting it out, the girl they put in the tent with me found some Tylenol Allergy and shared.

Once that kicked in, I was fine. Slightly swollen still, but no closure problems. No watering. I was so very happy.

I got a ten dollar tip for holding a tiny, well behaved dog. I think the girl working with me was jealous, as she didn't get a single thing, despite holding several dogs. I can't begin to count how many dogs I held, without getting a single thing. Throughout the entire weekend, I got eleven bucks in tips. Well, one of the lady's from a different tent brought me desserts everyday. Except Sunday.

After a Saturday full of work, Chris took me to see Identity. It absolutely fucking rocked. Although, whoever created the blurb of 'scarier than The Ring', is an idiot. There may have been one or two scenes where you jump, but that's it. So many things to break down in the movie though. A thinker. That's always a good thing.

Although, we had the twist predicted about half way through. As far as the 'killer', it was pretty obvious. Right from the beginning. The signs were all over the place. Especially if you're thinking about it later and looking back... it's like a big, giant Duh staring you right in the face. But the writer did really well at distracting you from those key clues. Without a doubt, I'll have this on DVD when it comes out.

When I was going up the stairs,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd go away.

Today was our last day working at the horse show. They put my mom in my tent. That wasn't completely horrible. We both held tons of dogs and got nothing for it. Talked to a teacher that has several Associates Degrees. Otherwise, we sat around being useless.

The entire weekend, I was trying to figure out why they even had us there. In order to even get into the area we were stationed, you had to have a membership. As long as you had said membership, you were allowed into the specific tent that I was watching. The only time I had to turn people away, was because they left their ticket in their car. Anyone who came by there, was supposed to be there. So essentially, my job was to double check the people that were stationed at the front gate? Because, if anyone got through, then they weren't doing their job. It was stupid and pointless.

But it's over now!! On to something different.
