Life & Stuff

  • Quickie

    Had a very nice xmas; hope everyone else did, too. Enjoyed my days off. I’ve relaxed, pixeled (made some New Years sigs, over to the right, and redesigned my QBee quilt), watched movies, read, puttered. Sadly I have to go to work tomorrow, but since it’ll only be me and one other gal in the…

  • Feeling slightly better

    We just had a meeting at work, and I feel slightly better, only because I was able to vent and talk. Talking with others helped. I also talked to my manager, and she’s really good at listening. She’s been a great manager, and I feel bad for her and the other managers who are caught…

  • Baby steps

    My new bedroom floor got grouted last night, a bit later than when we’d originally planned. Now it has to set for 48 hours, so late tomorrow night it will get sealed. This means I won’t be able to move my stuff back in until xmas eve…ah well. It is what it is. Hey, it’s…

  • Some good among the bad

    Isn’t it funny how you can think you’re handling stress, or that you’re not that upset, and then tiny things completely set you off, thereby proclaiming quite loudly that you’re not just stressed but COMPLETELY, FULLY, READY-TO-BLOW stressed? That happened to me last night; at least I realized where it was coming from. Also had…

  • Floor closer to being done

    Tonight roomie finished laying the main tiles for my room’s floor; Friday we cut tile to go along the edges, Saturday is grouting, Sunday is hopefully sealing. Monday I hope to move my stuff back in and be settled for xmas. Le sigh. All this is at least slightly taking my mind off the job…

  • Trying to stay positive

    …but it’s hard. I feel like my holidays are now ruined because I can’t think about anything but the fact that I’ll soon be out of a job. I am grateful that I have a few weeks’ notice (and therefore pay), but it doesn’t stop the bitterness and the anger. Right now we are all…

  • Shitty day.

    I’ve got six weeks left of income. We were just told at work that we’ll work/get paid through January, and then we won’t work or be paid in February. Supposedly we’d come back in March on a per diem, but that’s ridiculous–no one can go a month without pay, and then come back to significantly…

  • Fiddling

    I’m messing around with some new colors & elements to this Christmas layout. If anything breaks, bear with me; it’ll be fixed eventually. Well, I’m doing this in between working on the mold problems, lol. Fun, fun!

  • Well, crap. Mold.

    The room I live in in my roommate’s house has a concrete floor; she hadn’t tiled it yet when I moved in. Because at the time I had an older cat who sometimes missed his box, I decided to make cleanup easy by buying a piece of cheap vinyl to put down on top of…

  • Magical Disney

    Had a great day at Disney yesterday! A very, very long day, lol, but a wonderful one. A friend got us free tickets to the taping of the Christmas parade that’ll air Christmas morning, so there’s a chance I’ll be on TV! While looking super happy and smiling in the proper Disney way that is,…

  • Aaaah. Ok, that’s better.

    Got my quilt PHP all fixed, although I’ve still got some design tweaks to do. But I got my Yule sigtags & pixels page up, and just playing with the lovely graphics puts a smile on my face. :-) I’m going to get my hands on even more pixels this weekend (buying a couple more…
