I went in to work yesterday, but then I got kicked out for the rest of the week again. *sigh* I need money!! More than just the $5 from the Cheerios box. Srsly, my next paycheck is going to be hilarious, because I only worked two days in that pay period what with finals and the plague, so it'll be less than $80. D ( Read more... )

Today was another gorgeous day! :D At work, my boss bought me lunch from the open-air French street market that's in Georgetown this weekend, which was lovely. (I have the awesomest boss ever. And she appreciates my own awesomeness. Win-win!) I strolled through the market again after work, and got a strawberry crèpe, which I sat and ate on ( Read more... )

OMG, Friday. *wraps it around her shoulders like a blanket* There has been far too much panic this week for my taste. I mean, I'm already stressed about the semester in general, I don't need more panic on top of that.

Tuesday was also cloudy and thus my beloved crocuses were all shivered up against the inclement weather. Wednesday's a school day (and it was in the upper 50s), ( Read more... )

Dude, I got so many little cuts and scratches at work today! The unexpected perils of being an archivist! (Or, more precisely, an archivist's minion.) Mostly a bunch of small papercuts and boxcuts. There is one on my wrist that looks like something (perhaps a small, rabid raccoon) bit me, but was actually acquired from the sharp corner of an ( Read more... )

There are rabid raccoons at work! If I see a raccoon, I am to run the other way. (Though, probably not run? More, back slowly away a bit and then run ( Read more... )

I was totally popular tonight - three phone calls in a row! First my mum, then my dad, and then bretagnes_rose. Seriously, barely five minutes between and about an hour for each call. It was lovely, but all that talking was rather exhausting for my throat ( Read more... )

Today at work, we got an extra discount at the gift shop for holiday shopping. So I bought a couple things for other people, and then a little something for myself! :)
