Settling in

It's official.
As of next Monday I will vacuum, dust and mop for 4 hours a day, 6 days a week in return for a warm bed, free wi-fi, free washing of clothes and even a free breakfast thrown in to top it all off. Should I decide to shove off I need to give a weeks' notice, which really suits my fear of committing to anything beyond my next meal at this point. Oh happy day! I will be sharing with 2 others, which is one person less than I share with now and I can live with that.
Meanwhile back at the ranch I have befriended the Irish and now drink and swear with the best of them. I still don't know their names but for some reason names doesn't seem to be too important when you're drunk.
Burning Man is now two weeks away so I made a list of everything I need. This includes:
  • a lift to and from
  • tent
  • sleeping bag
  • torch
  • glosticks (to avoid being run over by bicycles at night)
  • goggles (in case of sandstorms)
  • waterbottle (very important in the desert!)
  • cup with lid (to carry with at all times in case free drinks come my way)
  • lip ice, sunscreen, heal cream, vaseline and anything else that replenishes moisture.
  • earplugs
  • Emergen-C

You might sense at this point that I have not come prepared to camp.

You are right about this.

"And what does it live on?"
"Weak tea with cream in it."
A new difficulty came into Alice's head,
"Supposing it couldn't find any?" she suggested.
"Then it would die, ofcourse."
"But that must happen very often," Alice remarked thoughtfully.
"It always happens," said the Gnat.
