mock_the_stupid has been posting entries again! This makes work go much more smoothly...every time I get bored, and refresh my friends page, I have a few more stories of stupidity, to entertain myself with. I'm so obsessed with that community, I love it. It always gets me so excited, every time they approve an entry that I submit.
Houston doesn't have "rainy days", it has "rainy hours". Seriously. Can't tell you how many times it's been hot and sunny as I biked to work, only to find it pouring rain by lunchtime.
Today, hot and sunny on my break at 10:30. Two hours later, I go outside again on my lunch break. Once again, it is hot and sunny. Except this time, the ground is covered in all this water, all these big rain puddles. I look up at the sky, trying to figure out which cloud dumped all the water, but there's just a few fluffy white clouds, no sign of rain anywhere except the ground. But, a half hour later, as my lunch is ending, it's gotten dark and stormy again and started to sprinkle. Who knows what it will be by the time I leave.
oh yeah, did I ever mention? I bike to work. I love it. I live a mile and a half from my work, and I leave home 15 minutes before my shift starts. It's great, because, I can't get there any faster by driving. I work in the medical center, where there is no parking - they give you a pass to a far away parking lot, and you have to either walk or take a shuttle in to the actual building where you work. If I want to be on time, I have to arrive at the parking lot, twenty minutes before my shift starts. But I can start biking, only fifteen minutes before my shift starts, and still make it in plenty of time.
so yeah it's great because, I'm not spending ANYTHING on gas, and I'm getting my exercise too...but that's not even the reason I'm doing it...I don't have to have self discipline, because it's actually faster to get to work by bicycle. I do it just to make my life easier on myself.
I have no time to myself any more. Ever. Literally no time. I work 10 hour days, then in the few evening hours I have, I'm almost always going out with Misho. I really only am home to sleep. I'd love to have a roommate like me.
speaking of roommates though, it's working out better than I thought. She did her best to make a bad first impression, but no more toilet incidents since then. But I'm becoming happy that she is my roommate, for two reasons. First, she's very nice, every time I've talked to her (I think three times total so far? hah) she's been very nice, very easygoing. And second, she keeps to herself! This is the important one. She spends most her time in her room, she only comes out for food. So almost always, I can go wherever I want in the house, and I don't have to bother with being social. I'm not antisocial, I don't mind being friendly sometimes, but when I come home I want to unwind, I don't want to have to worry about dealing with someone else. So...yeah. All very good qualities, and I usually can forget that I even have a roommate.
I've been spending just about every day with misho the past few days, even if it's just a few hours in the evening. I like it that way. Just wish that I wasn't so busy, and could spend more than just a few hours at a time with him.
