Random mixed bag
I actually have a lot of little things in mind today, so instead of pulse-spamming, I thought I'd share a quickie, foul-mouthed blog.
1) I used to worry about how I sometimes show up at 9 for work, even though my boss said I can show up whenever. And she wasn't kidding. Some people here show up daily between 10-11am... but the thing is, I DO my hours, whereas those aforementioned latebirds bugger off around 3-4. So with their lunch breaks, which they TAKE, that's a 4-hour day. WOW. I KNOW these folks in particular work very hard and take their job seriously... WHEN THEY'RE HERE... but I'd be lying if it doesn't make me a touch irritated. In fact, I'm downright pissed off about it, because I feel slimey if I even leave half an hour early, with permission, for an appointment. DAMN CONSCIENCE, I SHOULD JUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE APPARENTLY DOES...
2) I have been having trouble staying motivated with the workouts in the recent month, as happens to me every summer. (milder weather = I don't wanna be inside anymore) I've also come to the conclusion that I absolutely LOATHE jogging and these days, pretty much refuse to do it. Like, I don't even enjoy a micro-second of it... and the entire 35 minute experience is about as interesting to me as a seminar on different kinds of paper (and YES, I've been to one), only with grueling physical pain. I MEAN ISN'T IT SUPPOSED TO GET BETTER??? Point being, I need a new physical hobby. Been playing a lot of badminton though, but it's tough to find players who are on a "physical activity" level with me, as opposed to the "we're half-drunk on a Sunday picnic- HEY LOOK A STICK TO HIT STUFF WITH" level. And while FINALLY snow-less, the weather's not been stable enough for biking... whether it's high-winds of effing FROST WARNINGS in May, Mother Nature has been positively schizo up here, and I don't much feel like freezing my tits off or being unceremoniously blown into the Canal on one of my leisurely rides to work. But hey, we Canadians LOVE talking about weather, so at least we've had plenty of small-talk fodder. Where was I again? Oh yeah... random musing number 3.
3) I'm poor. But it looks like I'm finally starting to get my head above water concerning my upcoming California trip, at least. I've been getting a few commissions from various sources lately, and they're helping. Plus, we're getting some mad discounts and I plan on living like a hobo, off tuna cans and sleeping in the car for two weeks, hahaha. YEAHHH!!!! YOL-, no, I'm not even going to. But yeah, a few of the commissions are more pinup works... and though this is a huge DUH, I didn't realize how quickly BOOBIES would get me money. Oh Rule 34, you are a traumatic, yet lucrative bitch.
4) I WANT A DOG SO BAD </random> I saw someone who has a Shiba in my neighborhood and I almost died at how cute it was. (they're my favorite) They're uppity little rascals though, so I could probably never have one (since I don't have a yard where it could run around in), not to mention that my landlord is a dick about animals (as we all saw this past January with that harrowing Walter experience) even though nowhere in my lease does it say I'm not allowed. But given my horrible luck with dogs thus far in life, I'm not prepared to commit my emotions to another animal before I am 100% certain of the circumstances. I can't handle being fucked over again.
5) Because it's been coming up a lot lately for some reason on the internet and IRL, Christians against homosexuality: I'm gettin' real tired of your shit. Just saying. I try to be open-minded and understand where you're coming from but I guess in my old age, I've had to accept the fact that I'm intolerant .... towards the intolerant.
6) Yeah... nothing, so here is a random picture of my cat, who is a huge douchebag, by the way.
