Random! Okay, only sort of.
Hey look! A post!
I do far more reading on this site than posting, haha. Anyway...
Saw an Eastern Indigo snake in the yard today - or at least it really looked like one. I don't know of any other snakes in GA that have a black body and an orange throat. It seemed a little odd since, according to the few good info sites I could find, the snake would be somewhat out of its range in middle-Georgia. Still, thought it was interesting to see! Now if only the dogs would stop barking at it. :/
In other news, I wish the cooler weather would show up already. I think I've had enough suffering in the heat inside an non-air-conditioned home. Yeaaaah. Add to that the little bit of thing called there-are-seven-people-shoved-into-this-house-and-one-of-them-is-pregnant to it, and what little patience I have remaining from what the heat stripped away from me... well, my fuse is quite short, let's put it that way. Woo. I do so wish my window wasn't broken (has been for many years now, and will probably stay that way for many more?), then I could have an air-conditioner in my room too. I'd sleep down in the livingroom on the couch if the pregnant sister didn't think it was "weird" (read "annoying because IIIII want to watch t.v. until 1AM"), or that the step-niece decides to occupy the couch instead. If I were cooler I would get much better sleep. Then again, I'd get much better sleep if I wasn't always stressed out about not being able to pay my bills because the stupid job a.) won't give me full-time (though they have offered it to me and I have applied for it quite a few times), and b.) pays me way under what I should be earning, given my experience (something they seemingly got around by hiring me as a temp first), and c.) cut my hours down to practically nothing, and telling them "Oh, hey, I probably won't be able to come into work soon because I can't pay for the gas to get here." does little to persuade them to do otherwise. Yay. Also, being stressed out does not help me with trying to keep up with my writing at all. Not at all. In summation, I feel like pretty much everything right now is shitty, and no matter how much I want to change this situation, it seems like there are stupid blocks in front of me no matter what I try to do. This only leads to me becoming a hermit and shutting myself off from people (lots of practice with that, yep), and it just isn't really good at all. I normally wouldn't even write stupid stuff like this down here in the journally thing except I just really needed to write it down right now. But I won't write all of it. Oh well.
I suppose I will get back to looking for a new job now.
