In an effort to stave off the crushing monotony and mental numbness that accompanies my job, I (and everybody else) usually employ a sense of humor at work. We all act like we're 12, seriously. Every last one of us (ranging in age from 20 to 38) has gone into your mom/fag jokes, mimicking game sound effects, etc. Funny things from this week ( Read more... )

Maybe it's caffeine withdrawl, or maybe I really am slipping into madness. I've just felt more and more like complete shit lately. I've been burned out, lagging behind at work, and battling my way through wicked bouts of depression. It's been a ragged ride down, and I dunno if it'll ever go away, or if I've settled in here.

Long story short, a lot of job hunting, a bit of biking around doing errands and getting excercise and sun, and diving and other good stuff on weekends.

I went diving last weekend off of San Pedro, during which I managed to slip off a rock and land on a sea urchin. You know, those purple spiky looking things. I didn't realize it until I got back to land to find about a dozen spines embedded in my foot when I took my fins off. It didn't really hurt, but digging the spines that embedded in and broke ( Read more... )

Surely the news has circulated by now - I moved to Montebello (east LA) 3 days ago, where I'll hopefully be living for awhile. My appologies to everybody to which this comes as a surprise - though I had a quiet exit in mind, I intended to go around and see everybody before I left, but got mixed up in the mad scramble to get it all together.
