I'm sitting in a battleship / I'm sitting in a submarine / I'm sitting in a fighter plane
Things are still kind of in stasis. Am temping for a few weeks at this ad agency that Demise (I shall call her Demise because that is what the predictive text on my phone calls her) says is like Mad Men. It is pretty crazy... really nice gorgeous loft space for the offices, all stainless steel, exposed brick, glass, and wood beams. And big computer screens and expensive equipment everywhere. Free drinks (pop, juice, and alcohol) for the staff all day. Oh and tons of talented, stylishly-dressed people. The place is awesome but makes me feel kind of frumpy and shy. I'm getting to know people better which is nice, and it makes me more comfortable there. But one of the most annoying things is the other temp who is doing the same job I am. She is very annoying. She's an ARTIST. UGH! And is really outgoing and tactless. So when she dominates the conversation and says stupid things I kind of cringe and get shy.
MEH this is a temporary job anyway. They are apparently looking for a permanent receptionist, but no one seems to have any idea when that person will be found.
Other things are OK. The Minnesota RollerGirls championship was awesome because we won!!! But somehow the end of the season left a bad taste in my mouth. I only skated once in the championship bout. I didn't make the All-Stars (and found out by mistake on FACEBOOK.... how shitty is that). Also I injured my left knee just as my right knee returned to 100%. Left knee is definitely not as bad as the right was, but I need to stop being lazy and do my physical therapy exercises on both knees. It's hard to summon up excitement for that right now though; with no All-Star practices and no bouts until October, I don't feel like I have much to work for. Which is stupid, because of course I do, but right now I am limited by what my knee can and can't do. When it gets better I'll start going to the men's derby practices to scrimmage and MNRG boot camp with the recruits.
I'm also being lazy about applying for permanent jobs. I want to take a few graphic/digital design classes, but I just need to get off my ass and do the research. For the hours and hours I spend online at home and at work, I can't believe I still haven't even picked a school. And I want to move out of this house (right now the cigarette smoke is wafting into my room from downstairs and Levi is ranting about something in his loud voice). But I don't know where. How can I afford it? How can I move when I don't know where I'll be in 3 months? Or even 1?
Whine whine whine.
Real life suuuuuucks.
