I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind

My new job has been good thus far. It's interesting seeing it from a little bit of a different perspective. Sometimes you look at a month for a floor and you just go..."Well, that sucks" and then you try and move people around enough that everything sucks just about equally. I still don't have absolutely complete access to Kronos, so that's kind of annoying since my boss forgot to do anything before he left.

Having some vacation issues since my boss apparently completely missed my last vacation request. I'm hoping that they didn't accidentally approve anyone who requested after me. Because technically there's should be pulled and mine should be put in. Ugh. Messiness. But I'd push the issue. I hate that.

I'm dying a little from working days right now. They kill me completely. I just want to sleep all of the time. Really aggravating when it's finally nice out.

I really think that's all my brain can handle right now...blegh

Because the Origami

Just went and saw Thor all by my lonesome. Which is always kind of sad because I always want to make comments to people when I see movies and when you're by yourself there's not really anyone to comment too. But the movie was great! Plus there were lots of attractive good looking men in it. Always makes my day. The guy who played Loki looks awfully familiar (also he's worked with Branaugh before, which doesn't surprise me, sometimes actors become favorites of directors and get used a lot). Also he'll be back in the next one along with everyone else! YAY! And it had Stellan Skarsgard in it. Not my favorite Skarsgard, and that would have made it so much funnier if Alex Skarsgard had gotten the part of Thor. I would have spent the whole movie laughing. Which probably would have made it not as good of a movie. I did see it in 3-D which kind of leaves me with a headache now. Also the Avengers movie can not get here soon enough. I can't believe I have to wait an entire year for it. UGH. I'll just have to survive on all the other amazing movies coming out in between. Like Priest, and Pirates of the Caribbean 4, and Captain America, and X-Men: First Class, and Sherlock Holmes 2...and hopefully some more Sherlock tv series.

Now I want to write this Loki story that has been floating around in the back of my head for a while. Almost 4 years now I think. I should probably just start working on it. But I have to find all of my Ragnorak research. and then try to remember how I was spinning it. Oh fun. Off I go interwebs. Have a lovely night.

It's how my friend history here made me

Still trying to get better at the emblogginning. Slowly doing so I think.

Today is my last day as a staffing clerk. At least for a while. The nice thing is that I will have every Saturday off and ever other Friday/Sunday. The other thing that I'm kind of ambivalent about is working 9a-5p. While it's nice that I will get off at 1730 every evening it's kind of gross to have to be here at 0900 every morning. Not as bad as 0700 which I will unfortunately be doing 5 days a week for the next two weeks. Kind of going to suck. I've already warned people not to talk to me probably for at least 2 hours. Also Katie and I are probably going to be bored by day 3 if not sooner.

Weightloss wise I am still losing but very slowly. I have been really bad about food for the last two weeks. I need to get back to more veggies and fruit and things like that. Or at least refried beans. Ugh. Low cal soups and stuff are good too. It's just kind of expensive to buy all that stuff for myself so I just end up eating what's around. And I want to be good about it and then I'm just not. I need a better tracking system. No, I just need to set a time of the day aside at the end of it were I sit down and write everything I've eaten for the day down onto a sheet of paper. That would be the best solution to that I think.

Well, at least a bit of a plan anyway. I'm thinking about getting a gym membership as well when I move onto 9-5's because I think it will be easier to go either before or after work. I'll have to trial it and see how it goes. Or at least get a better work out regimen going. Maybe I should be like Neil Gaiman and listen to Bleak House whilst exercising. Or any other audiobook. That should keep me distracted enough to maybe not notice that I'm exercising.

I'll trial some things and see if they work better than things I've tried before.

Later Interwebs.

I hope you're ready for a fire fight, cuz the devil's got your number tonight

Trying to get a little more religious about the blogging thing. So far so good, but I'll probably slack off again at some point realistically. I have two more days of doing actual staffing. Which is kind of a nice thought at the same time that it's a little strange. I'm going to miss just doing the staffing thing and chatting with my evening shifters, even though I'm going to be there quite late when I get to be on my own. I orient for two weeks and I think that's probably a lot to much. I think Katie and I are going to be bored out of our minds after about three days. We'll have to take a lot of walks. Or something dear god. Also it'll be kind of nice that I get to deal on a macro scale instead of a micro scale. I hope that I can spot major problems before we get anywhere near them. I know there's not going to be much that I can do about the sick calls that come on a daily basis and can easily turn a good looking shift into a horrible looking shift.

God I hate Old Navy and their singing commercials they are so awful.

My mind it doth wander. I'm still playing Fallout: New Vegas. Pretty good game. Though I still find the absence of male prostitutes uncool. If you've got female prostitutes that all the guys playing dudes (not that all guys choose to be male characters, but chances are...) get to hit on. Where are the male prostitutes that I get to hit on? huh? Disappointing. I'll have to lodge my complaints with Bethesda. Bad Bethesda. Also I'd like to get the walkthrough so at some point I can just go through and figure out what everything that I didn't do and what it would mean if I had done it a different way. I just can't be a bad person and make friends with the bad guys. But I like that in games like Fallout you could if you wanted to be a bad guy and make friends with the gangs and other not cool people.

I'm slowly working on French. I need to work on it consistently though and I have a tendency to work on it a lot and then drop it for several days. I also need to pick up a english/french dictionary since that would make life a whole lot easier. But I should go do up some flash cards for the new verbs I learned the other day. Whoohoo.

Au Revoir, les internets.

Covered in Ash, Covered in glass, covered in all my friends I still think of the bombs they build

I need to just suck it up and buy an ipod because it's just easier to move stuff onto it from itunes. I guess I'm just waiting until I can get an iphone and call it good. Which should be soon. Since I'm going to steal my dad's upgrade since he's never going to use it. And I pay for it anyway.

I've been playing Fallout: New Vegas. Which is pretty good so far. I do enjoy it. Also there are a ton of movies coming out this month that I can't wait to see. There's Thor which comes out this weekend. Priest which comes out the weekend after. And Pirates of the Carribbean: On Stranger Tides the week after that. I'm so excited for all of them. Mostly because there's a lot of eye candy staged in my favorite way of seeing eye candy which is in full fantasy/sci-fi glory.

I went to see Evil Dead the Musical with my sister this past weekend. It was epic. We changed our tickets to splatter zone tickets at the last minute because the ladies who were hand stamping said it was totally worth it. Any musical were they throw buckets of water on you at the end of the musical totally wins for me. Also I got shot in the back of the head by a super soaker about a million times. Next time I will bring a plastic bag to put my purse in. That way it will stay safe. And relatively dry. Mary and I got a picture with the cast. Who were awesome.

Mary looks a little terrified. Also we both look absolutely soaking wet. Which we were. Covered in slightly pink water and also regular water.

I haven't played the ukulele or guitar lately and I'm starting to miss it. I think I definitely need to pull it out again. Ukulele is nice because it's even more portable than a guitar. I need people to play with though. Gah.

That's about all I've got for today. Good night internets.
