A Battalion of squiggly lines
Heyo LJ. So annual inventory at work is over finally as of yesterday. Apparently we did better than like… any other store in the market, which is killer. We really do have a kick-ass third shift team, and we worked hard to ensure it would go swimmingly. Though pleased, I’m glad it’s over until next year. The air of stress and intensity from the higher-ups is gone and that was definitely affecting the mood of us workers. Now back to regular routine. :p
Speaking of work, I’m still really enjoying being a stocker. They’ve mentioned more than once that they’d like me to move up because of my drive, work ethic, and attitude, but I really don’t want to. I’m happy doing what I am now. Sure when I wake up every night it’s a struggle of “goddammit I wish I didn’t have to go to work” because hey, who would choose work over staying home and enjoying their hobbies? But once I get there, I delve right into hardcore “let’s get this shit done and do it good” mode. I’ve struck a pretty good work/life balance honestly. Hopefully it stays that way for some time.
This morning is another inebriated “listening to music and ruminating” type of morning. I don’t have to work tomorrow so I dove into some good food, good drink, and good music. Not the same nostalgic “emo music from when I was younger” sort of ruminating, just kinda reflecting on who I am, where I am, and where I’m going. In particular a song that strikes a chord this morning is “Opposites” by Biffy Clyro. To quote the chorus:
baby I’m leaving here; you need to be with somebody else. I can’t stop bleeding here; can you suture my wounds?
I’ve had a number of women show some interest in me since Heather (yes I know I’ve written nothing of Heather; or any other woman I’ve been with for awhile, just roll with it), but I just really don’t want the whole relationship thing in my life. If I can sleep, eat good food, and game, I’m happy. I don’t need someone there constantly. I keep trying to drive home the same thing to Johnny but he’s so hellbent on finding a girlfriend or sexual partner. I mean I get that he hasn’t had a good lay in six years but goddam man. That’s what got him in trouble in the first place. I just hope my constant badgering hits home and he doesn’t do something stupid again. Not that his second sentence was really because of some gargantuan mistake, but still, I don’t wanna see him go to prison a third time. He already tried to off himself once… another sentence and he’d probably do it for reals. That’d break my spirit. He’s one of my true friends and I just want to see him find happiness without having to rely on a relationship for it.
In other news I’ve finally had an attention-span solid for a bit; I’ve started a Dragon Quest marathon as of a couple weeks ago, and am currently on Five. Hoping it’ll last all the way through 11, which I’ve yet to play. It’s a great series that encompasses everything I love about JRPGs. Five in particular is a wonderful journey with a killer story and pacing. Wil is wanting me to download this game called Divinity: Original Sin II, which apparently plays like a digital DND campaign. I’m certainly interested in it, because the only other game we’ve played together is FFXIV, but I just don’t know if I have the attention span to add it to my current flow. I’ve even stopped logging into all my gachas currently because I just can’t be bothered to do it. I love the story mode in almost all of them but I’ve beaten most of the main story content in them and all that’s left is stupid hard meta content and terrible drop rates for units and treasure. Just not worth the daily effort anymore.
Anyway, I’m getting a bit too drunk to type properly, so I think I’mma end this entry. Take it easy LJ. See ya again soon.
