My day and Doctor Who
Okay, my day sucked. I was just generally pissed off and miserable. I snapped at a hapless newbie coworker, and there was really no call for that. I'm not sorry though, not really. He's a moron. He still didn't deserve it, THIS TIME, but he's a moron. I'm kind of tired of being nice at work all the time. I'm tired of being nice everywhere all the time. It's wearing me out.
I really crashed after I had three phone calls in a row that ma'amed me multiple times per call. I guess they're trying to be polite or some shit like that, but I could NOT handle that. It's utterly irrational, but I'm even MORE bothered by it now that I've had a shot of T than I was before. It's not like ANYONE but me, my mate, my therapist, my endo and any readers of this LJ know about it. You can't tell. There's no change. How should they know? But it really, really gets to me more now. I know it's irrational but I feel it anyway.
I browsed the Ebay Dr. Who category tonight. There're copies of Lungbarrow going for less than $50. This boggles my mind. It's so freakin rare that at the last con I went to, a copy (I was shocked to even SEE a copy) was going for upwards of 100 dollars! And now, there're at LEAST two up on Ebay, at the same time, and one is going for 9.99! I'm tempted to buy it just to have it, but I can't be spending money for stupid reasons like that. It seems, judging by the Ebay listings, that a lot of old merchandise has been dragged out of people's attics after the new series has caught on. And of course, there are the usual batch of crap listings for posters of the new series. They're probably either printed off people's computers, free giveaways at something, or inserts in magazines. Whatever, I'm so not paying for those.
I checked Big Finish and there's a bunch of audios I want, but the exchange rate is way unfavorable at the moment (just about 2 dollars to a pound) so it'd be $30 apiece for any I wanted, and damn, I could rack up a bill reeeeeallly fast with all the ones I want. I still can't believe they got Janet Fielding back to do one, especially as Tegan. I mean, wow, she was so against it when I saw her at Gallifrey. I'm so buying it when it comes out, though. Course, that's what I said about the last Turlough one and I STILL don't have it yet, since I was thwarted in my efforts to purchase it at UFC. (WHYYYY were there no dealers selling audios??) I'm gonna have to get that before it catches up to being a year since it came out.
