For the first time that I’ve worked at the mall, we had to seek shelter from a possible tornado this evening. For Dana, the retail manager who has been there twice as long as me, it was here first time having to do this as well. We locked the gate, gathered our belongs, shut off the machines, and headed underground. My coworker, Eddie, described the experience like the attack from the Cloverfield monster. We were underground for about half an hour until the storm passed. Next time, we’ll bring the radio down so we can hear what is exactly going on since we couldn’t hear anything while in the sheltered hallways. Our business for that night was pretty much blown away.
In other news, I got a check for $7.21. Apparently when I paid off my car, I paid extra by that amount. I don’t know how I’m going to avoid spending that all in one place.
I’ve been editing my novella, The Crashing of Heaven and Hell. I’m giving the characters and locations much more depth to them. Everything was a bit shallow as the book was focused on the story and not so much the characters. I’ve also been replacing overused words such as “many,” “a lot,” and “like.” I was surprised that I used the word “many” a lot of times. In this sweep, I really have been going through and expanding details. Before my latest revisions, I made a back-up copy of the story to allow me to be more comfortable to make major changes. The first chapter has undergone paramount expansions.
Alright, I’m running out of puns. Before I go, I added new sayings in the Yearbook Quotes section. I plan to see Ironman tomorrow. That’s all!
