It's day 1 of 2025!

I'm trying to be at least a little optimistic about the smaller things in life, because the big things are, well... *gestures broadly*

I just checked the date of my last post (not counting yesterday's), and it's been almost three years since I last updated this LJ. Oops? I complained about the Freedom Convoy disrupting my life, ( Read more... )

We're very short-staffed at work, so rather than working my "normal" 9-5 these past couple of weeks I've been back on shift, with few breaks because I don't have a normal schedule. I have to say, I did NOT miss working shifts, and going back to twelve hours at a stretch combined with night shifts has been super rough on my body. I am absolutely ( Read more... )

Hey hey, I have successfully been on this earth for 42 of its rotations around the sun! For this year I can claim to be the answer to life, the universe, and everything. And yes, I know where my towel is ( Read more... )

I have become a Busy Person, and I don't like it. I also don't really see a way around it for the moment. I am trying to keep a lot of plates spinning, and the net result is a lot of broken crockery and the occasional moment of juggling brilliance. Feel free to skip most of this, I'm just trying to get things down for my own records.

Here's what I' ( Read more... )

Four night shifts in a row has messed up my sleep schedule. I got a more than decent amount of sleep today, nearly ten hours, and so now I am awake, even though I need to be awake in just a few hours so I can get stuff done. My property managers are coming tomorrow (well, today) in order to do a "safety check," which means checking smoke and carbon ( Read more... )

I've reached the point in my night shifts where I hate pretty much everything and everyone. It usually happens after midnight on my second night shift, but this time around it actually only struck on the third night a couple of hours ago. Now I only have an hour and a half or so before I can go home, so it's not so bad ( Read more... )

The universe rewarded me for turning 36 with a wicked bout of vertigo in the middle of my night shift, which I was working alone. So I had to call my boss in disgrace for the second time in six months and crawl home and wait for death, but not before I ended up puking in the trash can at work because I couldn't make it to the bathroom. It was extra ( Read more... )

I promise not all my entries will be about procrastination and the iProcrastinate podcast. However, today is not the day I won't be talking about that. Double negatives for the win ( Read more... )

I know, I know, this is still not the long post on willpower and extended will that I have been threatening to write for a few days now. I promise it will get written, possibly this weekend, time permitting ( Read more... )

I'm not sure it's worth updating if I feel as though I have nothing to say, but then that's the kind of thinking that made me stop posting to LiveJournal completely, so maybe I will blather on witlessly for a while ( Read more... )
