another week another trauma...  
Well, weekend is officially over now and I'm back at my desk. Spent most of the weekend (which was pretty good weather, fyi) hunting for consolodation loans that don't make you sign some kind of Faustian deal for the rest of eternity and writing what is turning out to be the very angsty follow up to Alone All Along. I also seem to have done something bad to my big toe, I don't know how or what but it's all sorts of interesting colours now and hurts like hell.

Saturday was the gala day in my village and I usually go to show some kind of community spirit but completely forgot all about it this year until I heard the sound of bagpipes drifting up from the glen. Ah well, just as well I didn't go, the villagers would probably want to lynch me for the state of my garden... *grin*

Okey dokey, now to tackle the pile of crap sitting on my desk now - why is it, when I'm away from the office for even a little while, everyone seems to think my desk is the dumping ground for all the stuff they don't know what else to do with? ::sigh::
 
 
Current Mood: working

Do you have any idea how cool it is that you mention bagpipes in a non ironic no big deal type of way?

Because in my book, it's pretty damn cool.

Have a fun day at work today! I was fired yesterday! Well tempoarily let go, yesterday was a good day. :)

LOL at the bagpipes thing - it's pretty cool until you realise they do actually sound like a herd of cats being strangled. *grin*

Sorry you got fired but then not really 'cause you didn't like the job did you?

Well yeah, but still cool. At least to me.

I'm not sorry, I didn't like the job much at all, but I did enjoy the money. I will miss the money.

Are you looking to get another job or are you still applying for colleges just now?

I'm planning on being a slacker teenager actually. I think I'll stoop to a level I don't feel I need to stoop to, and attempt to get in contact with my Dad so I can go see him as was supposed to be planned. Even though I don't want to, I want to go visit his ex wife, but that would probably hurt his feelings, even though he didn't think about mine when he didn't even send me a birthday card or call me back like he promised.

Sorry I'm feeling a tad bit bitter.

You've got every right to be bitter from the sound of it - and good for you being a slacker! Make the most of it while you can, it'll be soon enough when all you think about are loans, bills, the mortgage... gah!

I feel bad and hypocitical for beeling angry over it though. Especially since I scold my Mom whenever she gets mad that my Dad starts lapsing into this behavior and I get mad at her for acting all Ex-Wifey. Who am I to scold, when I'm acting all teenagery?

Bah, oh well, I'm over it.

I'm going to enjoy being a slacker I think. I've always been lazy, but I did just officially graduate high school a year early. I finished over two years of school in 7 months, I'm entitled to slack.
