Over-thinker. Easily distracted by shiny things. Oooh. Shiny.
Perks of living alone: no one to witness me fling my laptop across my bed because I noticed a spider crawling on the keyboard, and then watch me huddle in the darkness since the laptop was my only light source, as I worry about where I’ve just flung said spider.
Disadvantages of living alone: there’s no one else to protect me from said spider.
If you ever start to feel bad about yourself, just remember that I had a dream last night that someone on a reddit-like forum said I was a boring writer and I spent the rest of my dream sad and depressed as I google-stalked that person.
Even my dreams are boring. *cries*
Two hours left in my shift, my 7th day straight working in a row, and I am still sick. I am merely pretending to look busy because I am so done and just want to go home and sleep the sleep of the medicated.
I’m so annoyed that one of my coworker’s called out sick for two days but I couldn’t because we’re short staffed and apparently no one can do what I do, yet I still have a death cough and am super congested and overall feel awful because I haven’t been able to sleep more than a few hours because of the death cough.
I want to spit on everything just out of spite and get everyone else sick and see how they like it.
It’s supposed to be in the 50’s and sunny while I’m in Chicago! Yay!
All my delicate-flower fears of freezing to death have been assuaged. I’m already planning to go to the zoo since why waste a sunny warm day in an art museum, but if anyone has other suggestions, don’t hesitate to let me know!
what are your hobbies?
Hmmm, I don’t really have a lot of hobbies right now. I’ve been so busy. Does traveling count? I don’t have the monies to do it as often as I’d like but I love to research and plan itineraries.
fav color?
I seem to be partial to the green family.
do you have any allergies?
I’m mildly allergic to kitties – not to the point that I have to avoid them completely, but bad enough that I have to be aware of how I’m handling them (no face rubs!) and make sure I wash my hands afterwards.
known languages?
I was pretty fluent in French while I was in college but I haven’t used it much since then so I’ve probably forgotten everything. I’m working on my Korean fluency. I tend to pick up languages fairly easily whenever I travel, and while I wouldn’t say I’m fluent, I can get by pretty well.
happy lotto num…
I’m not sure what this means, but it does remind me that our manager gave everyone a scratch-off lotto card in their Christmas cards and I had to have someone literally show me how to use it. I didn’t win.
OVERSHARE a random fact
Hmmm, a random fact…
Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress (elected – there were women who essentially inherited the position when their husbands died during their terms) and she was also a die-hard pacifist. She was the only person to vote against the US going to both the First World War and the Second World War – while there were others who voted against joining WWI, she was literally the only one who voted against the US joining WWII. It was quite a shocking move on her part and lost her the respect of her constituents, and it was her last term in Congress. (Note: these terms were not concurrent, just coincidentally at the same time as the wars.) She was instrumental in the women’s suffrage movement, helping to convince her state to give the women the right to vote and then fighting for women’s right to vote once she was in Congress. However the 19th Amendment wouldn’t be ratified until after she was out of office.
I’m working mornings this week after being accustomed to evenings. While I generally prefer the morning shift because I feel busier and time goes faster, right now I feel like dying because it’s impossible for my body to immediately switch to getting up at 4am when I’ve grown accustomed to going to bed at 2am. Which is all to say I’m working on minuscule sleep right now and it’s all I can do to get through the day until I can go home and take a nap I probably shouldn’t take but my body won’t be able to last until a decent bedtime hour.
Happy Christmas to me! ^_^
Finally home after a long shift. Will anyone judge me if I sleep through the entirety of Boxing Day?
I hope you all had a good Christmas, to those of you of who celebrate. And to those who don’t, I hope you had a lovely Sunday nonetheless.
I had to dig my car out of a foot of snow to get to work today, but I was rewarded by an eight-week-old kitty, and eight-week-old dachshund, and getting paid to cuddle with a dog. So, y’know, karma works, apparently.
