Dictated, not read

It's become painfully clear to me that I need a break. A vacation. Time off.

Plan one: I take 2-3 days off of work and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for those few days. I feel better, I'm less cranky at work and things somehow get better.

Plan two: I take a week or more off and go on a trip. At the moment I'm favoring going to the North East, New York and the general area. I have cousins in Pennsylvania and my sister is in New York!

Plan three: Follow through on both plan one and two.

Plan three sounds pretty awesome. We shall see how the money lines up. Which leads me to...

Anyone in the north east area want to meet up possibly? This would be sometime in August-September when I would vacation. Nothing definite, but I would love to know in advance if people are around so I can plan better.

Super excited to get my card for kink_bingo this round. Once again, a few kinks I'm not sure if I'll be able to tackle *coughFurriescough* but there's some good ones in there too.

I have my card posted here if anyone is curious. Ideas/fandoms/requests are awesome and definitely help me brainstorm.

And now off to my Friday at work before an awesome three day weekend!

Sweet merciful crap I'm so tired I can hardly move I'm so tired. I'm sunburned and exhausted and worth so much more than I get paid an hour.

Well... after a hormonally fueled argument with one of my bosses where he made light of my ability to find another job I went to the greenhouse I used to work at and was offered a place within 15 minutes. I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. I've been really upset with my current job for the way they treat me, but I'm not sure if I can justify leaving if I'm going to be paid less at my old job. Even if I do get more hours. Ugh, it's complicated.

And to top things off, I had a very odd message on my phone earlier from someone whose "company is expanding" who thought I might be what they're looking for in a new employee. They didn't say what sort of company, nor did they say what sort of work. But the number of people who have my cell phone number and not my home number is small since I never gave my cell phone number away on any of my job applications. I'm dubious, but I would be sincerely amused if it turned out that 48 hours after I was told I was going to have trouble finding another place to work I ended up with 2 offers.

Just finished my 10th day in a row of work. I haven't had very long shifts each day, but the mental energy (as well as the physical energy for about half of them) has really worn me out. It's a chunk out of every day for over a week that I've had to be at someone else's beck and call.

Thursday was pretty much the worst day I've had for a while. My little 19 year old "boss" got her panties in a twist and took it out of me at 8am after I'd been working my ass off for 2 hours. And I was in no mood to take it, so I didn't. I snapped at her when she implied that I wasn't doing my job right (a job I've been doing for 8 months, and she's been doing for a little over a month) and I stand by it. I work far too hard to take crap from someone who doesn't know what she's talking about. Thankfully that was the last time I have to work with her, hopefully ever.

On a positive note, I love the new Doctor Who. There's only been 2 episodes in the US so far, and I've actually been good and just waited until they were on BBCA (although I might end up cheating now that I'm hooked). But it's worth it. The new Doctor is awesome so far, and I'm totally excited about it.

And to top it all off: The bunnies that live in our backyard are so cute. They were playing the other day and I got to watch. It's almost like having pet rabbits, only we don't have to worry about feeding or keeping an eye on them.

So last year in the summer and fall we would see bunnies in my back yard. Three of them to be precise. My dad has named the first two Mr. Buttons and Miss Bows, and there is a debate over what the third should be named. Mom calls it Bitsy, Dad has decided on Biscuit and I prefer Bacon. Because who doesn't love bacon?

But the point is, our yard is apparently home to a family of rabbits and they are so cute. Oh god, it makes my day to see bunnies out in the grass munching in the afternoon shade. ^_^ BUNNIES!


Now who has some cute bunny pictures to share?

My week, it has been busy. I've pretty much told my work that I don't want any shifts with my former boss because she's making my transition back to a normal employee absolute hell. But since one of the other managers wants me on his "team" I no longer have to worry about dealing with her and I feel tons better. But my sleep schedule is all messed up from having the overnight on Tuesday and super early shifts three other days.

I've been working out a lot, starting to get back into a routine. I'm feeling better already, even if the results aren't showing yet. And beyond that I've been catching up on my reading and actually FINISHING some of my books.

Clearly my life is a never ending thrill ride.

It's snowing here. Not unusual for Colorado... but it's supposed to be a foot before tomorrow.

After it was 72 degrees yesterday.

And THAT'S what messes with me. :/

My week continues to be crappy, but this video makes me so very happy.




I miss Pythagoras Switch, it was one of my favorites in Japan. I think I linked one of the actual Rube Goldberg sections, but this is Framy, the square dog. You can't not love Framy.

I've been so sick the last few days. I was sent home from work Tuesday because I was too sick, although they needed me desperately before that. We're understaffed and overworked and my partner (the other person with my same job title as I have who was moved up at the same time) is leaving, so everything is in an uproar.

But I have a happy Naruto icon... which I can't believe I didn't make earlier. It's from my very favorite doujinshi, Flower Art. It's so pretty and so very sad. But then, anything with the Yondaime in it tends to be sad.

Okay, I need to lay back down now.
