September 1st - Employment Fail

Hello solar system!

This is going to be another rushed piece unfortunately because I *just* got home from work and it's like ten minutes until midnight aaaand that sucks.

It is especially disappointing because I had something I wrote today that I wanted to share with you all and see what you thought, but that's not going to happen now :(

Then again, I could go back and edit this after I post it, but I haven't really decided if that should be against the rules or not. Hmmm.

Anyway, I'm sorry this isn't very interesting. If it's any help at all... my mouth probably either tastes really really good or really really gross right now.

OH!

It was raining while I was walking home from work which was really nice because it was so hot at work and it was so hot at home before work and it's so quiet when it rains and I love that and I love how everything smells after it rains and I love walking in the rain. I think that's pretty much all the I Love's I can currently associate with rain.

Tomorrow is garbage day! Hooray!

Edit:
First of all, the original post was put up before midnight so it still counts!

Secondly, work was sucky as usual and I was all RAWR I REALLY NEED TO FIND A NEW JOB, but there doesn't seem to be anything around that would make me want to shoot myself (in the foot) any less so I might as well stick with what I've got for now.

Third, it was reallyreally insanely warm today (which is usually what happens right before it rains, fyi) so my face is all salty from sweating a lot and it's gross and I also spilled boiling grease all down the one side of my work pants (which technically are my roommate's pants) and miraculously a) I did not get burned and b) it was luckily not on the side with the pocket in which my $200 mp3 player was contained. It was also reallyreally insanely busy which is why I had to stay for nearly two hours after we closed because I hadn't had the chance to do ANYTHING all night.

Fourth, I have realized that I complain a lot and that's probably annoying but I don't even notice I'm doing it half that time. I have a sharp pain in my body somewhere and my automatic reaction is to wince and say "ow" (which happened a lot today, at the behest of my lower back). And also, it really irritates me when someone tries to one-up your problems. One of the supervisors I have at work does this constantly. Like, one of the guys I work with has two jobs and so he works like 13 hours a day every day (he literally did not have a day off for two or three months straight) and the one day he said he was tired and the supervisor was all "Oh yeah? Well I'm here before anyone else and I leave long after everyone else has gone home" which a) he still gets two days off a week and b) 90% of the days he works, he goes home at either 5 or 6 because the other supervisor takes over. (And I just realized that my paragraph about complaining too much turned into complaining... d'oh)

Fifth, I finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson last night and I loved will grayson's revelation that you don't have to date someone to think they're awesome and I loved Will Grayson's revelation that the fact that we equate loving someone with being willing to sleep with them is ridiculous and I love how a lot of the things that happen in young adult fiction are juuuuust impossible enough for us to believe it. I loved the book, I loved it, I loved it. The end almost made me cry but much like Will Grayson I don't really cry much, ever. He also complains a lot, actually. I have a lot in common with both him and Colin from Abundance of Katherines. And fyi being classified as a child prodigy isn't one of those things.

Sixth, I actually think there was more stuff I wanted to say about Will Grayson, Will Grayson but I can't remember right now. And also I wrote a kind of rough scene from... well something that isn't anything yet, and I wanted to post that here and see what people thought but I think I'm going to post that somewhere else and just link to it. Actually... I am a member of a lot of sites that have blog capabilities so I think I am going to make one of those a creative writing exclusive blog, and then create a page here (which will be over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>)
with links to everything. Just in case anyone wants to read what I write when I'm not just typing whatever pops into my head.
