Do you hear your cellphone every time it rings? I don't. Depending on where I am in my home, it doesn't ring. I just suddenly hear the missed call tone. I don't care it around with me, if I go to the take a shower, take laundry to the basement, run out to my car, I am not going to hear my phone because it's sitting where I left it last.

When someone calls and doesn't leave a message or text, I don't call back. They can call me again if it's urgent. I just don't enjoy phone conversations. "What are you doing right now?" I'm talking to you on the phone. What are YOU doing?

And then I was asking why I text someone when I couldn't immediately respond to their response? I don't sit and wait. I might text and then go do something and only check for their response 30 minutes later. There is no reason to get indignant when someone doesn't text you right back. I bet you if I complained about a delay in his responses he'd get indignant as well.

Yeah, sometimes I don't hear it ring...
 
dude...how long have you lived here?...when in the midwest you put your head down in mid October and prepare to get hosed clean through May...
 
Domestic disturbance going down the street (with the "guard" dogs barking at it) woke me up this morning. Not the stress free way I'd hoped to wake this morning. Oh well, at least I have a fun story for work today.

It's a massive rip though...all the way across my leg and large enough to show...way too much skin for my liking.

Anyways...new whine.

In cutting me down to 7-9 hours a week, boss seems to have completely forgotten that I'm not only capable of most of the deli work, but incredibly good at it. She was complaining at me about how another guy didn't want to work the Thursday night before we close for Easter, and how she didn't want to find anyone to replace him. I point out that I need hours, badly, and she replies with "Oh, but it's a public holiday close. You've got to do markdowns and deep cleans, and all that sort of stuff"

Uh, how many public holiday closes have I done? How many public holiday closes have I been the most senior person in the department for? I'm more than capable of doing everything very, very well.

She's thus far been countering my "I need more hours" with "yeah, I'm trying, but I can't fit you in anywhere". Went from 15+ hours a week and her complaining that she couldn't cut me to any less to 7-9. Not happy.

Bull. I'm cheaper than most people in the department. I'm better than most people in the department. And I'm available pretty often.
Seriously considering switching to another store that can give me the hours I need to pay my rent and eat. Because right now, if it weren't for my Youth Allowance, I'd have to pick between them...

How about a patch?
 
This chair is so uncomfortable... I'm at a cafe, but...
If I sit in the living room the baby wants to play with my book, my laptop, my phone, my glasses, my drink, whatever he can grab! Forget about reading.. he runs too fast, falls down and cries... over and over lol
Hanging in my room gets perceived as anti-social. Understandable. But :P
 
I don't think it's working..... This all feels so wrong. :(

To make a very long story short, if I can't unknow the above knowledge, it's best to end the relationship and move on right?

I'm shaking, I'm so upset. It's not the incident, it's the realization that it led to...
 
Am in a strange mood.

Experienced massive productivity yesterday and today, got one of my two major projects/responsibilities done. 2.5 months early, I might add. All I have to do is transfer files, burn a CD, and print the memos and get them approved...by the end of June, so I'm not bothering now. So...yay.

But now it's 3:30...I have 2 more hours left today...and any and all attention and concentration that I had is totally and completely gone. Seriously, seriously gone. And I'm a strange combination of both really tired and unbelievably hyper (legs haven't stopped bouncing for about an hour). Eeesh.

Have got to find a way to focus...but god only knows how.
 
Something was off. It took longer to prepare my shake than it did to make my Mac. Now I worked at McD's once. Grab a cup, hold it under the dispenser, pull the lever, pop a lid on it. Simple. No, now it has to have artfully constructed whipped topping and a little cherry on top. Meanwhile my Mac looked like it had fallen on the floor prior to being served to me. It wasn't even during a rush, it was just sheer carelessness. The cashiers didn't even speak to me. At least my shake was very pretty. ;)
 
Just have to say that the above was not a genuine annoyance/whine, I actually found it quite amusing. I want to work at McDonald's now so I can point that out to people lol They'd hate me.
 
This waking up with considerable amounts of neck/shoulder/upper back pain is getting very old. And somewhat worrisome. It makes me wonder if it's truly muscular in origin, or if there's some sort of spine/disc problem at work...which scares me b/c my mom went through the ordeal of severely herniated discs, crushed vertebrae, neck surgery, bone grafts, plates and screws...and she still has periodic problems and definitely limited mobility.

Argh. I realize I should go to a doctor...but right now I'm preferring the head-in-the-sand approach.

Besides, it goes away after I wake up and get moving. Maybe I'll just start with getting a new pillow.
