WHOOPS. Surprise time-warp.

March ended sorta dovetailing between sadness over well-trodden paths falling away, and looking forward to new directions. Owing to the especially persistent case of the flungus (lung-fungus) I caught from the boycreature last week, I haven't been able to do much volunteering lately. Also Miss A has ceased needing regular ( Read more... )

In the five hours I worked today at the Galley, there was a grand total of six customers 8| My favorite newbie, Freddie, has stopped working for the owners. Not sure why, but I think it may be his studies. But a sweet new-new newbie, whom I shall call Fluttershy, was in today with me and Nana O. and Gaga, so it was a pleasant afternoon of catch-up ( Read more... )

Yanno it's funny, for the past oh, two or three months I have kept telling the boycreature, my friends, my housemate(s), and everyone under the sun that I will see them more / be more fun / have more free time in which to just chill when the dissertation is done.

HA. Apparently after a quarter-century I still don't know me very well ( Read more... )

Today, I wrote 3,000 words on my dissertation and e-mailed my programme director for a Scary Meeting of Doom and Dissapointment next week [/melodrama] to help guide my Editing Of DOOOOOM process which will commence after my morning shift at the Galley on Saturday. Wonder Woman has flown away across the ocean with no internets and one review of my ( Read more... )

As much as I have been thinking I need a new job lately, kitchen-wenching has been going well of late and yesterday was very positive. If only it paid about 60% more than it does, I would be golden ( Read more... )

Had a needlessly blah night last night, what with the moon-cycle putting my midsection firmly in the "bloaty & discontented" corner from mid-afternoon onwards, and feeling a stranger in the house that I live in, and generally looping back to "Oh god how am I gonna make it out the other end of this month?" every five minutes and wanting lots of ( Read more... )

The combination of fabtacular icons and delicious self-parody alone is enough to make me wanna lj-stalk this comm: alternative relijunz is srs bsns mkay[explanation: so because I have had about all I can take of vaguely psychoanalytic film & literary theory until after dinner - and because some of the boycreature's flatmates are asshats who like to ( Read more... )

Okay, job-get for reals this time /o/ ...Altho I still shouldn't be celebrating just yet, as me & my batch of fellow recruits have a second day of assessment and group training tomorrow before we're officially employees. But given that it's pretty much a phone-monkey position, that I have plenty of prior phone-monkeying experience, and that ( Read more... )

It's the kind of afternoon where I am mentally daring someone to catcall me on the street so I can unload all my pent-up frustrations with sundry lifethings on his blissfully ignorant chauvinist skull.
