I'm taking a few minutes to rest. Breath. That sort of thing. I've realized that this break hasn't been half bad at all. Granted, there is one obvious thing that I wish hadn't happened, but it was time for him to go and I've accepted that. On the other hand I've: had my time off from work extended without asking, had the time that I was at work ( Read more... )

Lunch break at work. At 5 at night. Been busy, busy. It's going alright, a bit slowly. I almost broke out the whole "There is no I in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat-pie. The anagram of meat is team and...I don't know what he's talking about" monologue from Shaun of the Dead. But I didn't. Because the last thing I need ( Read more... )

It certainly was an interesting day. I trained two people, taught a couple of new jobs to another person, shipped things, downloaded loads of work, did a couple of surveys, made rounds of phone calls and still managed to be outta there by six. We got seven today. That might not seem like a lot on first glance, but when one considers that we've ( Read more... )

So it comes down to this. Cathy has viral pneumonia. David has his week-long class. So guess who's in charge for the next four days. Ha. They are ever so lucky to have me working here. I'm sitting in the office waiting for Mark to call back with instructions for the day. This is seriously just the funniest thing. I've currently got them wrapped ( Read more... )

So. I think I'm in a good spot right now. I'm broke, I've got my ups and downs, but things could be so much worse for me. I'm getting opportunities that I didn't think possible five years ago. I've got people that I can really rely on. Work seems like it'll be looking up tomorrow, as we're getting and/or have gotten several new jobs between today ( Read more... )

Alright, I'm not doing dishes. No, strike that, I'm not washing glasses. I always end up cutting myself. The latest is a nice gash on my pinkie. No bone showing, though, so I don't think it needs stitches, it's just bleeding like a motherfucker. This always happens to me. Damn it, I was so close to finishing the dishes too. There were only about ( Read more... )

What a great night. Seriously, the greatest new year celebration ever. Lea, Kerry and Kristina came up to Burlington, Michelle came over from Peru street and Joey came out. We pregamed at the apartment as we're all fairly broke. Went out to Red Square and did the midnight thing there. Was going to go home at that point but Joey convinced us to go ( Read more... )

Well. It's done. They're having him cremated. Mom's doing it for me so I can be the one to decide what happens in the end, since he was my cat and since I couldn't be there today. The vet said that in addition to the feline diabetes and the kidney and liver problems, he probably had lymphoma too. He apologized, said he wished he'd been able to do ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm just ramming my head into a wall over and over and over again. My life just goes around in circles. I don't know if this is what manic depression is, but it really feels like it. Though I'm certain manic depression cycles last for longer than a couple hours. I am so tired of feeling like I'm on top of the world one minute only to ( Read more... )

Well, things have taken a turn for the worse with Chester. Mom's bringing him to the vets on Thursday. They're probably going to have to have him put down. He stopped eating entirely and is in a lot of pain right now. He cries out when anyone touches him and is having trouble standing and walking. It's selfish but I don't want him to die. I know, ( Read more... )
