Festivus for the rest of you
I'm home in Stalem until tomorrow evening or Sunday morning--woohoo! fatalism! no point in confirming return date when I'm stuck here until then anyway!--but it's not really worth recounting. Merry Christmas, I guess? I somehow transformed into 100% Grinch this year because all this holiday hoo-hah is failing to elicit any kind of warm, fuzzy, ( Read more... ) -
As of late
a) I finally have my license and a car. The car is a potential source of distress because I shouldn't have nice things--if I'm only now learning how to take care of my nice(r) shoes, I really have no business trying to take care of a several thousand dollar vehicle. My driving instructor was this totally avuncular Iranian-Paki dude who took me ( Read more... ) -

I actually get seriously hungry now when I'm sad or angry or lonely or otherwise upset. This is not fucking good. -
WALLOWING BRB
Some stuff I'm not good at right now.
1) being engaging
2) keeping my house clean
3) not moping
4) driving
5) parking
6) anything related to cars, really, aside from sitting in 'em
7) saving money
8) staying positive
9) locating my jewelry (though it doesn't matter--I'm allergic to all my non-gold earrings now)
10) having fun
Ugh ugh ugh I had such a bad ( Read more... ) -
Socializing is hard / people are horrible.
Just left a social gathering because of choice parts of the conversation overheard from the table behind me, populated solely by white douchebags in their 30s donning Crocs. Once they started talking about women as sex objects and hookers specifically, I just about lost it and would either have puked, started a fight, or both had I not left as ( Read more... ) -

Ugh, I'm somewhat disgusted with myself--my idea of sleeping in is getting up at 7:40 am ( Read more... ) -

Between having an 8 to 5 job and moving, I have no time left in the day to do what I want. I admit I miss the conveniences of my old job(s). I was quite happy to use the Internet while making calls at the SERL; to roll out of bed, throw on whatever didn't smell, and bike to campus; to have options to get coffee in the morning (srsly, City Hall ( Read more... ) -
olé!
God, never again will I underestimate the importance of reformatting my resume and making a good impression prior to the interview...thought I flubbed it, but DSS hired me as an interpreter and I'm starting Monday. Whaaaaaat ( Read more... ) -

Lots of things are still up in the air right now. Every now and then I think I'm okay with that, but that feeling of comfort subsides as soon as I have some down time and I just wig out again. Some Swiss people put together a site called "Need a Problem" that seemingly operates on Schopenhauer's idea that boredom is the true enemy of happiness. ( Read more... )
