Mike Rowe Icon is Always Relevant
Last week's hormone fueled emotional freak out has tapered off to this week's depressive slump. I know I'm not flunking, just unmotivated and scattered. All I want to do is curl up with a hot water bottle or my dog and escape. Escaping is not compatable with productivity. And as we all know Lea measures her life in days she considers productive. I've been told I'm too hard on myself. And told that if anyone else treated me the way I treat myself, my normally non-violent friends would have beaten that person to a pulp. Or in Tonia's case, Named and Shamed. She's all about the public shaming. I think it comes from her unhealthy addiction to DogShaming.com. Warning: Don't click that link unless you are prepared to lose an hour of your life. It's addictive like LoLcats only with better grammar and spelling.
Tomorrow. I just have to get through tomorrow. I have class with Angie at 9am. We are just doing workshopy things with little class groups. I like my class group. The event I've been helping to plan, the Oxfam America Hunger Banquet is tomorrow. Tori is deathly afraid no one will show up. I doubt it. I told two people today that they were required to come as my friends. Not that two people will turn the tide, but I'm trying to stay positive. I have some stuff to do before tomorrow. I need to hit the grocery store to get my part for the food for Saturday class and I need to figure out how to wash all the mud off of my plastic sheeting that I volunteered for the floor covering at the banquet. I'm thinking I'm going to take it to the car wash, hang it from the floor mat clips and spray the crap out of it. Drying is really the issue I haven't figured out yet, but I'll get there.
Grocery store. We're doing an okay job at staying on budget. We seem to be eating out once a week, and that isn't really something I've got figured in, but when Travis is working so many extra hours(more than I've budgeted in) and I just picked up a second job, it's hard to come up with reasons why we shouldn't eat out.
Oh Job. Yeah. I'm back at McGregor's, part time. Well I'm not really putting it around Facebook mostly because I don't want to admit I'm working there. I'm hoping something else will manifest so I can give notice and leave. On the flip side, it's been pretty nice so far. I don't work too hard, but I stay busy. The office is all pretty friendly, not stress enducing. And I know the job. There's no pressure to preform or learn something new. I like to think I'm taking a lot of stress off the office too by being an able body with a positive attitude. Three days a week there. Only about 12 hours, but they're paying me $1.5 more than the hotel job Matt offered me.
I can still keep most of my volunteer obligations. I'm trying to get to the food bank on Mondays at the very least, Wednesdays too if I can. Lindsey said she could leave me Friday's free to keep up with the Grout Museum, which is where I am now. It's nice here, quiet, and theoretically I can do homework. Also, done by 5pm, not 8. :D Anyway. It's work.
I feel like I want to write, I want to read. I'm sure it's all the desire for escapeism. I'm trying to figure out how I can use it to bribe myself into getting something else done. I do need to tackle cleanin up some stuff around the house and it would be great to have a new podfic. I'm all stuck on College AU's this week. No I don't know why, but if you know any that have been podfic'd, I'd love a rec.
Okay... I think I've splattered enough mud. Time to get down to the dirty job. See! That just made Mike Rowe relevant. ;)
