Ten Random Things
- I bought this bag of like, twenty clementines at the store on Monday, and I'm so pissed, because they are all next to impossible to peel, and there is literally no way to get the peel off without crushing and mangling all the fruit inside and getting juice fucking EVERYWHERE!!! Plus, are you ready for this? THERE ARE SEEDS IN THEM. By the time you've peeled it, it's a flat ball of mush, and oozing juice all over the place. I have like, eighteen of them left! I don't even want to eat that shit. Why are the peels so stuck to the fucking fruit? What's with that?
- If you thought that first thing was interesting, wait until you get a load of THIS! The whole lobby smells like clementine from the messy piece of shit fruit and the dang juice it got everywhere, and I work with one of those freaks who is deathly allergic to CITRUS FRUITS and can't even be in the same room as them, or else her throat will close up and she will need to stab herself with an epi-pen. Also, she had a heart attack and almost died two years ago, due to an allergic reaction. What if she comes out here and dies? Should I tell her? I just took out my personal trash to the outdoor trash can because I was paranoid about killing her with my citrus.
- I got so mad the other day because my sister in law posted this article called "Ten Practical Reasons to Have a Fourth Baby". One reason was "Because you've been sitting on a totally kick-ass name and you don't want it to go to waste!" and another was "You've already got the minivan-- might as well get your dollar's worth and fill all the seats!" UGGGGGGH!!!!! So stupid!!! And bad reasons!!! Of course it was written by some pro-life psycho Christian, because there is no practical reason to have a fourth child. That doesn't exist. My brother and my sister-in-law do have three kids, all boys, and they are "trying to have a third", and keep talking about when they finally have a daughter... I didn't think people still had that many kids, not even rich people. It's just annoying; they whine about money and being broke all the time, but my sister-in-law doesn't work, and they have three damn kids. Come on.
- I have an amazing sandwich for lunch today: Lebanon bologna with brie, avocado, and blueberry cardmom spread / mayo mixture! YUMMO. Can't wait to eat it!
- I interviewed for a promotion at my job yesterday. It's in the Claims department, as an adjustor. The HR manager and the owner of the company's wife approached me about it and recommended me for it before the job was even posted as available, which I appreciate, and am extremely flattered by! But I honestly don't give a shit if I get it or not. I'm so happy at my front desk job, where I am hardly supervised, 100% confident, and have never messed anything up, and where I can write on LJ hellooooooo... It's so laid back! I have the cushiest and most relaxing job of all time!! The only reason I interviewed for the promotion at all, was because the salary is like $6k more a year than what I currently make, and I bought a house this year. So we'll see. If I get it, great. If I don't get it, fine. But the interview went really well. And the person interviewing me told me that I was her favorite of all the candidates, and she gave positive feedback about me. The decision is also not 100% hers to make.
- I've been abstaining from drinking during the week, except for Tuesdays, when Laura comes over to crochet. I still smoke weed every day. The days without firewater are pretty boring, but not unbearable. I've lost a couple pounds, and it's easier to get up in the morning, but harder to fall asleep at night.
- Mark bought me a Christmas present that I don't really want, but I feel too bad to ask him to return it. It's a Shaggs record, and I have it on CD already, and it was a reissue, probably on colored vinyl (don't know because I haven't taken it out because I don't want to play it), and it was expensive. It's just not a thing I'd ever want! The Shaggs are such a novelty, and not something you really want to throw on to listen to most of the time. Actually, I think I have played the CD once, when I first got it, and felt like "Okay, I'm good on this until probably next year sometime..." It's definitely not something I need to own on reissued vinyl, or any vinyl even! Also I am not horny for vinyl by any means. I have some records, but I don't make a point to collect them like that. They sound better than CDs, obviously, but I think when we are talking about The Shaggs we can kind of put sound quality out of the picture, right? It's one of those things that's funny and cool because it sucks so much! Anyway, a few Christmases ago, I told Mark I disliked a gift he got me (two candles), because I felt like it was an impersonal gift, like something you'd give a coworker that you don't really know ("All girls like candles, right?!"). He felt really bad about it, and it hurt his feelings, and it made me feel like a true asshole. He DID ask me if I wanted him to return the record, because he didn't realize I already had it on CD, but I still felt like that would make me a shithead, so I was just like "Aww no baby, thanks for the Shaggs record!" And didn't even remove it from the shrink wrap, like a piece of shit.
- My hearing is so bad and it's definitely getting worse so I think I need to finally get it checked this year. I feel like half the time I am asking people to repeat themselves when they talk! It's probably so annoying. Also, any time I am somewhere where there is music playing, I straight up can't hear anything anyone is saying, and it's SO FRUSTRATING!!!! It's just like a big muddy mush of sound. What if I need hearing aids at the age of 34?
- Carrie Fisher died and it was sad. Then the next day her mother, Debbie Reynolds, died. Also sad, even though she was so old. When I found Debbie was dead, I was wearing a t-shirt that said "I KILLED MY FAMILY" on it! Did I kill her? Does it mean something?
- Speaking of my family, I made a new year's resolution to spend more time with them, because my mom told me that it makes her sad all the time how little they see me. And it's true; I live pretty close, but I only see them about once a month. I should see them more than that. They only have two kids, and my brother and his family live in Georgia. They have no friends. They also don't have their grandkids around anymore (because they're in Georgia), and that bums them out. This is corny but I made a list of things I could do with them the other day, just because I feel like they are so particular about the things they will actually leave their house to do / spend money on. It's dumb, but this way we can spend some quality time I guess.
