These are the boring moments of my life.
I don't post on here much anymore because there is nothing to post about. So here is all the nothingness that I haven't been posting about. Because I'm bored and I figured I could post something.
I caught a stringfish today! On Animal Crossing. I've been playing tons of Animal Crossing lately, because I haven't played it consistently in years and it's fun. Plus, I can make 50,000 bells in one playing, which makes me feel wealthy, even if it is in pretend Animal Crossing currency. I am curious to find out if I will enjoy Animal Crossing: City Folk when I get it for Christmas. I think I will appreciate the ease of the Wii controller to move around town and do things, but I will have to rebuild my wealth all over again. But I need to play more games than just Animal Crossing. I have Mario Kart that I have not played in weeks, I still have not taken Wii Fit out of the box, and I don't play Wii Sports at all. I am going to treat myself to Endless Ocean though on my next pay day!
I am making Christmas presents for two of my coworkers this year, because they are fabulous and I adore them. I am almost finished with a crocheted purple wool scarf for one of them (I have one more row long-ways to finish, which should take about 15 minutes). I am making my other coworker a green knitted hat (using a Knifty Knitter loom, of course). I actually finished the hat a few days ago (it only took two afternoons), but there are some improvements I want to make and I have enough yarn and enough time to completely re-do it, so that is the plan. And then, I will start making some hats and maybe scarves for myself so I can wear them this winter.
I've been downloading tons of tunes lately. This has kind of been the story for a while now though, considering that every month has contained at least two new releases that I have been awaiting. August had Karina, Girlicious, and Solange. September had Pussycat Dolls and P!nk. October had Sugababes and probably something else. November had Xtina and Beyonce. December has so far had Britney, Brandy, and next week Keyshia Cole. I'm also loving the new Lily Allen and Christina Milian singles. I still need to somehow get my hands on the new Girls Aloud without having to pay for an import. I wish I was interested in The Saturdays, but I'm not.
My slackerness has been noticed by management. My supervisor sat down with me last Friday to help me brainstorm ways to increase my billing. They now want 120 hours a month (a month ago they were saying 150 until they realized, with our input, that this was basically impossible). In October I billed 115 and in November I billed 105. I have billed over 120 hours in a single month in the past, so I know I can do it. I just haven't been because of several factors, such as me hating our management, me being burned out, and me being bitter about the $1200 I had to owe back (and am still owing back) because of some payroll idiot's mistake. However, I came to realize that I really do have a strong work ethic and I need to recover that before I find another job. Gotta get in the zone here and now before I can be in the zone somewhere else in the future, right? So I'm working my ass off to bill 90 hours this month, because 120 a month would break down to 30 a week multiplied by four weeks, and we are only working three weeks this month with a paid week off between Christmas and New Years. As of the end of today, I have roughly 47 hours billed for the month of December. I think I am on the right track to acheive my goal. Especially considering that tomorrow we have our holiday party and I will be working an 11-to-12 hour day.
I spent this last weekend (Friday to Monday) sick with a sinus infection and a stomach infection. I hate blowing my nose on the toilet. It's been a while since I've had a sinus infection this bad and it still has not completely cleared up. I trace my stomach infection back to Thursday night dinner with my parents, where I did not wash my hands and ended up licking teriyaki sauce off my fingers. (I spent the afternoon that day exploring the beach with clients, and touching all sorts of filthy beachlife.) How does an OCD person not wash their hands? Anyways, I learned my lesson. Wash your hands always before eating and avoid four days of impatient bowels and perpetual stomach cramps.
That is all. Boring, right?
