Still Around (Sorta)
Dec. 3rd, 2010 08:52 pmI feel like I should update because I don't know when I'll have the energy to do so again. I've got a lot of different things rattling in my head but not a lot of motivation to set it all to paper (or screen), so here's a list.
1. Today was "Wear a tie to work and confuse your coworkers" day. I didn't realize it was "Think terrible thoughts and be horrified at the kind of person you are" day as well. Maybe that was just me being semi-sleep deprived and really, really bored.
2. Actual conversation I had with myself on the drive home:
"Hmm, I could have eggs for dinner. Eggs or Spaghettios? Mm, Spaghettios with cheese and beer. Beeeeeer..."*
3. Here's why I might not be around much: I "volunteered" to work Sunday (in quotation marks because they said they need as many people to come as possible, and I'd like to build up comp time since I have no sick days, so it wasn't really much of a choice). It's more than likely I'll be working all of next weekend too because we have a really big deadline on the 15th. So, that means I have tomorrow off; five days on; mandatory furlough day on Thursday (during which I'll be getting my teeth cleaned and driving more because I'm crazy); and seven more days after that.*** Woo, session? Whatever. I'm fine with it.
(The next part of this entry was eaten when livejournal started maintenance over an hour ago. Sigh. Here's what I remember/its replacement.)
4.
Been listening to these fools a lot on the drive home. (Man, I didn't realize how ridiculous this video is until I looked it up. Haha.) I mostly listen to the radio on the way to work because I'm terrified of missing the traffic report. Yep, I'm that lame these days.
5. I wrote an entry about poetry in my paper journal that reminded me of my friend Jason. Actually, you've been on my mind a lot, buddy. Write anything about flaming bunnies lately?
6. Self-awareness has been in my thoughts as well. I've been kicking around some connections between general awkwardness and the sense of hyper-awareness I've experienced all my life, but the ideas haven't quite gelled yet.
7. Anyway, that's about it. Hope you all have a good weekend. I think my day off is mostly going to be spent doing laundry and sleeping. So exciting. Maybe a Christmas party with my brother? We'll see. I should call him before I forget, but that sounds like a project for tomorrow.** I'd rather zone out in front of the television like the unproductive lump I am. Catch you later.
*I had neither of these. I went to get the Spaghettios out of the pantry and ended up with ravioli and a glass of milk instead. So it goes.
**Geez, I forgot to take my phone off silent and ended up missing his call last night. Oops. Kind of leaning toward not going, though. Will have to talk to him at a more decent hour.
***I did the math wrong on this one. (I was an English and paralegal major, so sue me.) It's actually four days on, furlough day, then eight days on, if that makes any difference at all. Really need to not think about that stuff when I'm so tired.
