ATTN!

I feel old with my hurting hip and wanting to go to bed at 8:30. So sad. Ha! I miss blogging and all the other online things I used to do. *sigh*

I don't have much new to say. The job is going well. I'm not stressing about anything about their 'politics'. So much is just not worth the fuss. I'm learning a lot about people, which is good and fun at times. And since I have to go again tomorrow morning...good night!

So I've been somewhat absent from my online doings for a while. I do apologize. My job is monotonous but tiring: Work quickly but don't make mistakes, there could be MILLIONS of dollars at stake. Seriously. Taxes, ya know. Anyway, I sit there all day so when I get home I want to go out and walk around.

Of course that makes me even more tired so then I just veg in front of the TV. Heh. Not good. But I do have some money so I can buy more supplies and try to discipline myself to work on things for my shop and the jewelry commission that I've kind of abandoned because it's not needed until September and I have the BAD habit of procrastinating until the week/night before.

Also, people who talk all day about the nitty-gritty TMI stuff of their lives annoy me. People who think they know everything and so butt into everyone else conversations to correct them annoy me, too. I have an idea from an SPT this Thursday. Thanks co-workers!

Goodbye Snow

Thought I'd post this as a farewell to snow..where I live anyway...I hope. It was gorgeous today, the kind of day that I'd been anticipating for a long time. It had been cold and snowy and grey for months...it WAS winter. Anyway, I'm not a meteorologist. I just hope the bitterly cold days are over for a while. This video is one reason why.

Now 4.09

Just sitting here, getting ready to blog, I realized I'm pretty happy with where I am. That's something I haven't thought or felt in a long time.

I miss the Internet like crazy, though. I wish I could tweet or blog some of the random things people say and do. (I'm an observer) but I can't even have my cell phone on me for most of the day. I'm working now, processing tax forms. That's probably all I can say without going to jail...and that might be too much. It's boring, but it's non-stop so that kinda un-bores it. Plus, we've gotten good enough, the people that work around me, that we can talk and work at the same time. I'd been out of this arena for a long time. I don't like the window-less room or the fluorescent lighting but it's not as bad as I thought it would be when I applied.

I'm also looking forward to my birthday. (not about to give out the actual date) There's no real reason, nothing special planned, I just am not dreading it, which someone my age shouldn't do anyway...I'm still on the lower side of the hill. I have dreaded every birthday for about 3-4 years. Another change.

There are things I still don't understand, don't like, wish were different about myself and various situations around me. But I have hope for them, that something good will happen if I just keep going. That's the challenge. I think I can do it.

Sports Aside 4.05

may never see this again

I may not have mentioned it before, I'm pretty sure I did, but I'm something of a sports fan. I'll sit down and watch a game with the brothers more often than not. I've even been accused of getting too involved. Ha! Baseball season just started, though with work and the fact that my stereo is busted most of my knowledge is being fueled by the internet.

I go away for a few days and the reformed Devil Rays are leading the AL East!?! What!?! Not that it really ever had anything to do with me. The Yankees have gotten owned by the Rays for years. And really, April games, don't truly count...well, they count but they're not indicative of anything...hopefully. It's all highly ironic.
