Working for the weekend? Nah.
I just finished preparing vegetable soup. It is now cooking in the crockpot. I need to start making real food more often.
I hadn't used the crockpot in a few months. Unfortunately, it sits right next to my roommate's deep fryer. My roommate apparently makes no effort to control his splattering, and I had to wash my crockpot even though I'd washed it after the last time I'd used it. The kitchen is a mess in general. Amber makes real food on a regular basis for her and Evan, and they often let several days of dishes stack up before they do anything about it. It would take me 3 or 4 weeks to make the same amount of dishes. In the end, I stay out of the kitchen even more than I already would, just because I don't like working around their mess.
...
All this should soon change, thankfully. Christine had a deadline to be out by the 31st of October. I really wasn't optimistic about it, but yesterday she had her parents come help her haul away her stuff. The downstairs kitchen is now empty and ready for Amber and Evan to move their stuff down there, as we agreed upon a few weeks ago. It makes sense since Amber is taking Christine's bedroom anyway. Now we'll have a spare room. I've proposed we make it into a third entertainment/video game area, so now when I have guests over I won't have to hope a TV is open or that my room is tidy enough to play the Wii or something in there.
Speaking of Wiis, work is going super awesome. I've yet to wake up and debate whether or not I want to actually go in. It's nice. Last week I reached my breaking point with aspie. After he started jabbering at me on a Thursday break, and I got pissed, he asked (jokingly I think) if he was creepy. So I said yes. He hasn't talked to me since then. It is nice. I was worried I've been too mean to him lately, but his skill at ignoring the cold shoulder would put even sims to shame, so I kind of kept pushing it just to see how far it would go. Damian says I wasn't too mean, but I still kind of feel like a bitch.
...
I've found myself seriously considering putting off CNC school until next fall because I'm just so happy right now. I feel uneasy about going back to school where I might not be so happy. Still, it would be awesome to be a machinist, I think. Fucking union though. I'd like to know why we really lost half the Dreamliner contract to South Carolina. Was it the union being assholes or was it Boeing looking for cheap labor? Both, probably. Still, I think it would be awesome to work at Boeing. Nintendo is teh awesome, though. I wonder if they employ machinists? If they do, it is probably in North Bend, where they actually manufacture stuff (or so I've heard).
At least for right now life is pretty sweet. I like my job, I like Seattle, I like my co-workers and I feel like I still have many opportunities ahead of me.
