Selecting "Don't show on reading pages" for entries always makes me feel sneaky. Sneak-sneak-sneaky. Like I'm tiptoeing past while wearing a lot of black and nobody notices. So very secretive. Sure, anyone can read it by going to my journal - provided I make the entry public - but how many people do that? Not many, I think. But, anyway.
Urgh, I feel awful. Well, work was all right, I suppose. But going when you aren't feeling well always sucks so bad, and part of me wishes I'd stayed home.
I did get a lot done, though, so I can't complain. In fact, I'm pretty pleased with myself. I think... some people at work think that I don't like my job, because my general attitude there is quiet grumbliness combined with stiff professionalism (though not professional enough for an ordinary office, I must say, but much more than the standard for my own office). But just because I'm all "Well, I'm at work, so you know how it is" when someone asks me how my morning is going, doesn't mean I don't like my job. I actually like my job very, very much. Well, yeah, nobody likes getting up at 5 AM. And sure, sometimes it can be kind of boring. And so on. But I do like my job, and I get a lot of satisfaction from it. Not sure if I would say I take pride in it, but it's a job, and somebody has to do it, and I think I'm pretty good at it.
Normally I'm a little antsy about talking about work in public entries, but everything here is very general, so I think it should be fine. It isn't really what I set out to talk about, but there we are.
Was going to do driving practice tonight. I... really don't think that's a very good idea now. I feel way too unwell and my coordination is off. Maybe I'll be well enough to do it tomorrow. Can use the practice as an excuse to drive to the store to get more cold medicine, since my stock is running low. Since I keep a stash of decongestants onhand at work, people are always asking me for pills, and that means I start to run low before I even use them myself....
I want to make a music post, but that will have to wait until I can brain properly. Someone on f_fa linked some really neat pop from Kyrgyzstan recently, and I've been listening to it... I like this one a lot. But I'll have to poke around for more stuff before I make that post, too, I don't want it to just be copypasta of Anon's list though they do have a nice selection there.
Man. I really, really love this "Hannu in Tuonela" icon that I put together, though I don't think I'll have a lot of opportunities to use it. (Well, what the hell, maybe it would be a good one to use in "I have had it/I am exhausted/Get me off this planet" situations). Kind of bugged by that mark in the upper left corner... I might re-make that and edit it out. But that's not a high priority. Definitely want to make more Redtail icons, though. Deleted a bunch of old icons that I don't currently use, hopefully I will use the ones I just uploaded.
Currently listening to Kyrgyz music in effort to get Sibelius unstuck from my head... I can't even remember which track it was but this one section keeps replaying in my head over and over and over, ugh. It's lovely but SERIOUSLY.
