I Don't Always Update, But When I Do It's A Rollercoaster Ride
11:10pm: Yes indeed, it's been nearly a month since my last update! I've really been letting my Dreamwidth down haven't I? It's not as if nothing's been going on, in fact I've been quite busy with extra shifts from the library and caught up with some old friends. Actually, this weekend I'll be catching up with more old friends Edith and Elva from high school! (It's interesting because I always mixed up their names even though I knew who I was talking to in my brain, my mouth would say the wrong name - the ass) Elva lives overseas now so this is quite an occasion! In fact I'm taking the day off work this Sunday for it. I'm very relieved I can do that actually because apparently the actual rule at work is you need to give 10 days notice to take leave (even if it's just for one day), that seems like BS, I mean not everything gets planned weeks in advance.
Speaking of work, it's getting a bit alarming just how many people have left or been transferred to another library in the system. The staff area down the back is practically empty these days, yet I remain without a permanent job. In fact, one of the staff they hired externally has just gone off on a month long holiday the second they got hired. In what world does that make sense? This person better have a lot of experience - although they're still going to need to learn the new system, which I'd liked to point out I don't need to do. Grumble, grumble.
Moving on, how epic was the rescue of the Thai Boys from the cave?! I can't believe they all made it! When I first heard about it on the news I didn't have much hope at all, but everyone banded together and got them out, a good news story for sure. :O)
Sadly, there's also very distressing news...last Thursday a very popular figure skater Denis Ten from Kazhistan (the first to win a medal at the Olympics - a Bronze back in 2014) was murdered in a robbery. I followed him on Instagram and the whole thing is still a terrible shock, very upsetting and surreal. His last post was only a short time before his death and it was very sad to see it there in the Instagram stories until it disappeared. I wasn't like a huge fan or anything, but the whole thing is just totally messed up (the robbers were trying to steal his car mirrors, who kills someone over that?!) and a total waste. :O(
In happy news, it's now just one week until my parents return! Actually less than one week since they'll be home next Tuesday in the late morning. I'm looking forward to seeing them, it's been like three months an I'm sure they'll have lots of stories and whatnot. Although I have to clean my father's car because it's been parked in their carport this whole time - except for the few times I've taken it out to keep it's battery going - and it's got all dusty and salty.
Right, it's getting late so I should head off - I've been watching Le Tour De France while I'm typing this and a guy just rode off the road and into a ravine! Thankfully he's OK, but geeze that was a shock. Also...this is the same route where 23 years ago a cyclist in the race died, seems a poor choice of route honestly.
OK, I'm going to wrap this up because I do need to get my shut eye.
Goodnight all!
