Sure! Come here and do my dishes! The floor needs sweeping too!
I woke up Friday, sometime after ten, wondering why my plastic travel alarm hadn't gone off. Then I looked at it. Apparently drunken Archer had poor manual dexterity the night before and chose to turn his alarm on with his teeth. Now my trusty clock is broken.
I was also forced to navigate my hangover with only one lens in my glasses. I hope Thursday...

I work for the second largest financial institution in the world. I started out five years ago in customer service, which is pretty irritating, so to get away from that I took a job in inbound sales, which turns out to be the Worst Job in the World. I do loan applications over the phone. I could sit here solid for three days writing in your journal, and only scratch the surface of all the reasons my job sucks so much. Now I'll be working for the same company, but instead of working on the banking side I'll be in Institutional Trust, in the Retirement Plan Services department. It's a hefty pay raise, closer to my home, no sales involved; it's pretty much like a grown-up job, and it's about time I got one, as I'll be turning thirty next week. So I'm pretty excited.
By the way, how do you wake up and know you've manipulated your alarm clock with your teeth? Were there teethmarks on it, or did you have a little piece of it hanging out of your mouth?

Well, the expatriation is kind of up in the air at the moment, as there's a rather large factor to take into account now, when making plans like that. If it were just me, I'd go at the first chance. I don't think the big guy is ready to make that kind of a move.
Eating a crisp apple outside on a fine fall afternoon is a highly underrated activity.

I've often remarked around this time of year that it's the perfect weather in which to eat an apple.

Thank'ee.
Was that bit o' text I sent you worth anything, or should I take another stab at it?
I'm in something of a coding delerium these days, so there's no guarantee that what comes next will be any more lucid...

I had my Senior clearance meeting this morning, and it went better than I expected. My academic advisor was new - a fact that had me slightly on edge. My former advisor and I had an established rapport: she understood that I was jaded and had an unfortunate tendency to fall through the instituational cracks, and I was completely candid with her, opting to save...

Clarion is said to be gruelling, but worth it. The only problem with it is that anyone who works to support themselves generally can't take 8-10 weeks off to go. That's why I've never gone.
It's cold and raining today, and it seems that my brain has evacuated. I woke up this morning and didn't say a word to myself, anyone, or anything for hours. In class I was nowhere: I didn't think, I didn't do; I just stared. Now I'm sitting in my empty apartment listening to the soft droning of my case fans and wondering why I'm so...

If you can, get the Izze's brand soda. It's just fizzy water and fruit juice, nothing else added. And they donate to schools with every purchase.
I haven't sent your cd yet, not because I'm lazy... Well, yes because I'm lazy. I keep thinking I'm going to finish the next installment, Wellington Dub Rock.

UPDATE: I'm not going to Vermont this weekend. That means nothing to my fellow SG member, but I mention it because I'm kind of bummed. At least Smethers is coming to town.
"Who is Smethers?" you ask. Simultaneously one of the coolest and the most cynical human being ever to come out of Jersey. (Take my word for it.) This means, however, that I will...

I want to raise goats for their milk and make my own goat cheese. I even have a book on how to make cheese. Somehow I think a bunch of cantankerous goats would fit right in with the man and I.

The gnomes have informed me that my beloved and often difficult Skynet will be returned to my waiting arms tomorrow evening, in working order. *dances*

A rather unruly young man shook his fist and threatened to punch her lights out if she didn't stop wooing his woman. I'm afraid the pants can only be charmed off by one person.
He was joking, by the way. He'd never punch my dental hygienist.
I hope.

I spent today hiding from the cold rain, reading Pattern Recognition while drinking coffee on my broken couch. I've had far worse days.

I actually decided to keep it. He, being much more content and easygoing than even I am, won't put up much of a fight.
