~* Back to being a slave to the wage, as of Tuesday, June 15th. And it sucks big time :( Well, at least I *like* my job, I just hate the getting up at 6am-working 8 to 5-Monday to Friday-wearing a uniform part of it. *sigh*
I've always thought Brian said it best -->
Run away from all your boredom/Run away from all your whoredom and wave/Your worries and cares/Goodbye/
All it takes is one decision/A lot of guts, a little vision to wave/Your worries and cares/Goodbye
It's a maze for rats to try/A race for rats to die
Yeah, I'm actually contemplating the rash decision to quit my day job. This week I received three checks for three different freelance jobs I did while home on disability; in the space of that month I made about $200 more than in my regular job. PLUS I got paid at my job, too, I mean, it WAS disability and all... *whistles* But I'm scared of taking that plunge. What if I don't get enough freelance jobs to cover all my expenses? *gasp* :( In the meantime, I'm working on yet another one, on the most delightful and fun of subjects: the screwworm or el gusano barrenador del ganado. Yuck! xx-( Which will be grossly underpaid, by the way... Oh well. I still have bills to pay *looks worried*
~* Besides working my butt off, my family seems to have sort of kidnapped me this week. All sorts of family stuff going on all at once and no time to do them in. My sister finally did her dissertation to get her Architecture degree, which is very nice... my cousin is getting married tomorrow, his baby is the most beautiful baby girl in the whole world, I got to see my aunt and uncle from Miami, whom I hadn't seen in 6+ years... all in all, great. And at the same time, stressed and weird :-S I swear I have the weirdest family, or else *I* am the weird one who doesn't fit with them :( But I'm not doing the whole teenage poor misunderstood me kind of crap, because I'm supposed to be an adult!! blah!
~* Yes, I did this too, and I'm actually posting it because the results are so... ME. *blinks*
20 Questions to a Better PersonalityYou are a WECF--Wacky Emotional Constructive Follower.
This makes you a candle burning at both ends. You work until you drop, and you play until you can stand to work again. You have so much enthusiasm that you can find it hard to control on your own, and you appreciate the guidance that channels your energy and lets you be your best.
In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.
Your driving force is the emotional support of others--especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it--as it occasionally must run dry--you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.
You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.
~* Oh, and I read Marko's journal, and, apparently, I forgot all about Otoe's birthday :( Well, I'll consider last weekend to be the celebration with all of you, because I don't think I'll be seeing you until the weekend after next one, probably... I love you & miss you.
~* Oh, and like, I forgot --> I'm restarting my French classes on Monday á l'Alliance Française, mes petites chérs... Twice a week. *looks even more stressed*
And that is all. Byes.
