Sometimes, John Mayer gets it right: No male singer in the world of music today can release a single and have it connect with public as quickly and effortlessly as Rob Thomas.
In a word, yes. ♥ I had someone ask me what I was listening to on my iPod today and when I said Rob Thomas, she kind of tilted her head in thought and went, "Maroon 5?" I had to laugh and corrected her, but hey! Right ballpark! LOL.
I did actually hand in my notice, so I am officially flat-hunting. Which would be aided quite a bit by a reliable Internet connection, I gotta say, but we'll see how that goes. I had seen one I really liked during a decent connection time but it was over my self-appointed cap amount. Not by a lot, but I set a cap for good budgetary reasons, and the idea is to still have money for saving and doing once all the bills are paid, so I didn't go look at it. It was also maybe too close to work. Which sounds daft, but my body's already adjusted to the 45+ minutes of walking back-and-forth that I do every day, and I want to keep that. 'Tis good for me. Now I just need to figure out how to keep my current place adequately tidy *all* *the* *time* in case someone comes to look at it. Mreh.
I'm sure there was more, but the old brain is failing me. My manager started her holidays yesterday - she's gone until mid-July, gets married a week from tomorrow - and we had a nice little Situation crop up Wednesday right before she left, so I've been dealing with that plus my normal stuff plus her phone calls and emails plus... augh. And G is not a lot of help. He was getting very stressed yesterday because things were getting backlogged, and where normally I would have been able to help, what I was doing had to take priority so he was on his own. He really just does not cope well when things don't follow the standard plan. Well, really - it's a bit telling that he's been there more than three years and I've been there seven months, but I'm the one that was left in charge. Very sweet guy but not well-suited to much in the way of responsibility. Not that I'm necessarily a stellar example insofar as my personal life goes, but this is work, and I am well compartmentalized. :/
I am also fucking astonished that it's the middle of June already. Wtf???
