Hey friends. Having a really hard time with work right now but I'm dealing. It's just especially hard that I am LIT'RALLY the only librarian until Wednesday, as I have no coworkers anymore and my boss is on vacation. So I have to deal with all the annoying student issues by myself and it's really hard. Still--11 more work days until I am done with this job. I'll get there.

Going to see Foo Fighters at Wrigley Field on Saturday with my dad, cousin, and Geoff. My cousin is making us Brazilian steak beforehand, and throwingpens had it at his house last month and can attest that it is goddamn amazing. So I am excited for that, even if the rest of the weekend will be work and whatever.

Just trying to stay positive and focus on the good things I have coming up, but man, it's hard right now.

I mean, this time last year I was dealing with the bedbug nightmare, so at least this is better than that. #perspective

MEAT IS GOOD, YOU'RE NOT DEAD, AND WORK IS ALMOST OVER. YOU CAN DO IT.

You can do it!

[last_empress]

YOU'VE GOT THIS! And tbh this is a walk in the park compared to anything bedbug related. But lbr, everything is.

I don't know why there isn't a bigger global campaign for, like, bedbug genocide

[emilyla]

Let's start one.

Foo Fighters at Wrigley sounds so ridiculously rock and roll. It must be concerts at ballparks Saturday, because Taylor Swift is playing at Petco Park. I did not think to get tix.

11 days!!!

Foo Fighters are one of the only bands I loved when I was 15 that I still love today, and I have never seen them live, so it should be fun. Tickets were ridic though ($150). I let Geoff talk me into it last winter.

are you taking a break between this job and the next one? if you can, plan something good in that week and try to focus on that in the rough times.

I'm getting four days in between jobs, and it's my mom's birthday so she just decided she wants to do the backstage tour of the Chicago Theatre and go to the Berghoff (really good German restaurant) for lunch. So I'll have that to look forward to!

[throwingpens]

i will never not find it hilarious how much you have traditions with things and places you eat (brunch place, berghoff). i love you.

[popgurlie]

oooh! that sounds like a wonderful adventure! maybe flash into that when people are driving you batshit crazy ;)
