Oh my GOD I have officially reached the edge of voluntary boredom, and I can honestly say...I'm beyond content.
Since my my mother is gone all week in Florida with her boyfriend, I've taken on many a task that I had not been anticipating. It's really quite depressing--I thought myself much more self-sufficient than this. The epiphanies just keep on coming--
1)I don't have a whole lot of clothes, and laundry sucks.
2)My mom doesn't eat very much because doing the dishes sucks.
3)Feeding my brother is like trying to guess where lightning is going to strike.
4)This house makes extraordinarily creepy noises in the night.
5)My job is just as boring, if not more so, than my mother's.
Oh, and I get to work every day this week because my mom and my boss are going to be in Florida. Here's a quick clip of what I have to do all day.
-Jiggle the key until the door opens (ten minutes usually)
-Remember the keycode for the security system (ha.)
-Turn on the copier, air conditioning, printers, computers, fax machines, lights in all offices, and coffee maker.
-Open blinds
-Check email and drink coffee
-Respond to emails. Drink coffee
-Greet employers.
-Answer phones ("I'm sorry, the manager is out of town this week, I really just do the filing. If you'd like, I can transfer you to either our help desk in the Chicago office or to my manager's voicemail. She'll be back on the 30th and...")
-Read the news.
-Answer phone (this time it's either my mom or my grandma).
-Read the news.
-Check email x33,000
-Nod off.
-Say goodbye to employer #1.
-Kick employer #2 out of the office.
-Lock up.
Now, I'm 17. I've had barely one year of experience in this business, and I couldn't tell you a THING about Real Estate. Nor can I run the office.
Okay, rant over.
Now, Gilmore Girls Literati goodness....
Currently in the works I have---
*Chapters 9, 10, and 11 of Falling Away With You (full of !Jess!!)
*A season 3 rewrite short (not dirty, but it could have potential...lolz)
*Chapter 11 of And I Kind of Like You Driving Me Crazy
Oh, and I have another gripe.
Now, I know I go AWOL pretty frequently (with every single update) and therefore deserve zero feedback and thinly veiled hostility from readers who have always hounded me for updates, but *pouting*, I don't really like it!
Okay.....I know I deserved it. Ignore me please!! My range of emotions these last couple of weeks has been pretty astronomical and *ugh* more often than not, useless shit pisses me off.
Annnnd my up north motocross racer is more gorgeous than ever (especially since he has now decided to dye his hair BACK to the normal color). But the best part is--*dun dun dun*---
HE BOUGHT A RED CORVETTE.
So yeah, I'm in love =).
Oh, and my Nikki-baby updated so that made me all happy and smiley for the majority of the day. It was all Truncheon-y and Eddie-y (I LOVE EDDIE!!) and yum.
*Sighs dreamily*
I bid you all adieu, with the forewarning that Harry Potter 5 in IMAX 3D is not only lame, but it lied to me. Only 20 minutes are in 3D. $11 for 20 minutes of hokey 3D.
:hugs:
new boy,
literati goodness,
work,
