I actually sort of wish I were working today, despite still being rather sickly. There's something enjoyable about a dark, air-conditioned place where only about half of your shift is actual work. As there's not much to do without customers, there is a lot of downtime. Only real downside is closing, though I have yet to lose flesh to the popcorn ( Read more... )

Started the new job yesterday. I bag popcorn at the local theater for $6.75 an hour. On the plus side, I get free food while working, so it could be a hell of a lot worse, methinks. Was able to work a register myself within 2 hours of getting there, so I can't be that bad at it. Still somewhat sick, though. And the cat will not stop shadowing me. ( Read more... )

Next time we get hit by a big-ass storm like that, I vow to never again use the phrase "Damn, it would suck if we got a fuckin' tornado". 20 minutes was all it took. Bah, I hate you, weather, for making getting a job unexciting compared to a tornado spawning 4 blocks over ( Read more... )

Some days, I find I will never understand people. Who knew this sort of thing was popular?

I'd like to say 20 is an utterly useless age. But on the plus side, I now have pudding, ice cream, and a nerf gun.

Perhaps it isn't so bad. At least, after this morning's fun-filled failed attempt at registration (Oh, fuck you, IT department!), nothing else has gone wrong.

...Doesn't that sort of defeat the point of "Beautiful World"?

Oh, fuck yeah ( Read more... )

Indeed, the Windows install went terribly wrong somewhere. Ah, well. At least things work well this time through, no random cuts to monitor output. Fucked-up Movie Night was also amazingly glorious, and made me want to dynamite the ocean. For science. Or ride giant tortoises. Either of those work ( Read more... )

Now, I'm pretty sure that no floor in NRH this year has managed to get their microwave confiscated. Yet, anyway. So both myself and Mandi were greeted by some random Asian guy using our microwave. There is the public one down on A, and I've used that recently, so it definitely still works. Why our microwave? It's sketchy as all hell ( Read more... )
