Well now, sitting at work again. I finished my work for today, and now I'm trying to get started on a paper proposal that's due tomorrow. Trying to connect three different books written during the Cold War era via apocalyptic themes and imagery. Not too hard, except finding the right way to word the damn thing is killing me. Assuming I ever finish, I then...

So here I sit, 30 minutes into my shift at work, and I've spent the whole time here on suicidegirls. Time well spent I say! Honestly, it was just an excuse to play with my new tablet instead of doing work. It doesn't help that it has a keyboard, so now I'm tempted to write a bit instead of working. I'm still working on my...

Kudos for keeping quiet and not succumbing to smart ass comments. I can relate to making good use of the boss not coming in by spending time on SG. When I was working my boss was off on a Friday and I had the place to myself. I spent many a Friday browsing SG for a good chunk of the day. I hope you're not getting too stressed with working and studying, I did the same myself a year ago and it made for long days. Take care and don't work/study too hard. :)

Hopefully the end of that class is in sight for you! I commend you on being able to sit quietly through the class... it's taken me years of controlled meditative breathing to stay calm in those situations. When I was in college I was really good at getting mad and leaving, rambling about how this was a waste of my money, blah blah blah. You'll get through it!
Still stressed to a breaking point, still dealing with the most mind numbingly boring reports at work, and still can't sleep to save my life.Trying to get through The Faerie Queene for Thursday's class, but good god it's tough. Not because it's bad, I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit, but reading anything written n Middle English is always a chore. So basically, my life...

I have a theory about Renaissance music: the person who invented the harpsichord should be classed with the inventor of the pet rock, the Goldfish walker, and the iron maiden (the torture device, not band).
Okay. So I've been feeling these last couple weeks like I'm being treated different at work. Like I'm being excluded or treated worse than everyone else. And I know myself. So I tried to write it off as me being paranoid. Then this weekend I hear from my friend that: 1) he noticed the same things I did about how I'm being treated, and 2)...

Is it something you can pull him aside and talk to him about? Can you show him proof? Is he one of those bosses that thinks even an overture like that would undermine his authority or make him look weak, just by merely trying to set things right? It sucks when you try to do the right thing and someone's ego gets in the way.
horror_head:
Ah, that sucks. Seems like a giant chode.
Okay, I've been gone for awhile haven't I? Well for those of you who still care, if anyone does, I'm still alive, still employed, still in school. I've just been way too busy for much of anything. Working while in grad school sucks. And while he seemed like he was going to be a good boss at first, my boss is kind of a douche....

a boss is rarely a friend, because you have to separate work from it. My boss is like that, sometimes he's like "besides the shop, are you fine? everything with you is ok?" and next minute it's yelling at me or my co-workers because of small things xD you'll get used to it :) it like a love-hate relationship
So...... I'm working on a story that's really starting to mess with my head a bit. When I write I tend to put myself into the mind of the character. I've written a guy who went crazy, I've written a victim being terrified by strange creatures, I've even written a dead guy who was sent to hell. But this one is about a serial killer....

I know what you mean. I wrote some stuff recently that made me wonder about myself, like how did this come from my head.

I know how you feel. I'm too lazy to do anything at the moment but sit on the couch and ramble. Aw, love the grumpy cat. :)
So I was told yesterday that due to a technicality I might be fired tomorrow. Apparently to work at the university as a student you have to be full time, and I'm going 2/3 time. So yeah, I'm not supposed to know yet. The boss is going to talk to me about it tomorrow. And apparently he's mad at me cause he says I told...

I entirely understand the feeling of not wanting to get up in the morning, but try to just keep going with the classes because they are your ticket to something better than what you have at the moment.
user10131134:
If it was your boss' error, make sure you take no shit from him! Good luck with the meeting!
So much reading. So very much reading. 67 pages to go and I'm done for the night, but I'm falling asleep. Damn it all! I'm even falling asleep while typing this stupid blog! I still have to iron for work tomorrow too. Dinner would probably help. But I'm busy, maybe I'll eat later. Probably not good that I operate on 2-3 hours of sleep and...

So I'm currently sitting at work, bored out of my mind because there's nothing for me to do. While that's great and all, it also means catching up on my school work, and the articles I'm reading for class are putting me to sleep. Didn't help that I still have about 300 pages with of stuff to read for tomorrow's classes. Hey, I get to...

Boo, hopefully work will get a bit more interesting for you soon.
