07/31/12 July is over

It's the last few minutes of this July. And amazingly enough I'm in a good mood. Mostly because of good food, the opportunity to hang out with people I like and on the side of it all.

I'm happy here in Gainesville. I'm in a stable position. I have people I can trust. And I have goals. That's what makes one happy; no?

07/30/12 Plague

Infestations of disease. Noun. Verb.

Associated with negative.


Apologies if I have no sense in writing of the day. My mind is unwraveling rapidly as I attempt to contain my thought processes.

Input an incorrect claim Friday and got called out on it by Quality. Nothing that can't be fixed but still something.

Dreams. I have some.

07/29/12 Lumbago

I know I keep bringing this point up once every few days. And I honestly don't know what's wrong. I've been sleeping on an actual bed up to late, eating relatively healthy (hey I still can't find a good priced, good quality wok to make stirfrys in), and exercising enough to if nothing else keep my weight stabilized.

Home and about to go to bed now.

07/27/12 Driving

Gas is expensive in Gainesville. Also being a responsible person and acting as the designated driver.

07/27/12 First paycheck!

OH YEAH! $780 of awesome just got checked today.

So going shopping this weekend. This one is gonna enjoy something delicious... I'm thinking Salmon. Salmon? Yes Salmon.

07/26/12 Evasion, Feint, Vanish

3  of a set that bind to be.

Tomorrow is Friday; I should be getting my first paycheck. I have a nasty feeling I won't be though due to the snafu with my address.

But besides that. I've got rent to pay, groceries and other stuff to buy. My cat is just hunched over on the ground. He's so fucking comfortable anywhere he lies down.

07/25/12 Things to do.

There's an interesting quality that exists in doing laundry.

For yes I'm doing it mid week because I want some clean and dry towels to use. However they've been in the dryer for 80 minutes and it's still rather damp :/

Which is of course to say that they have failed me! Egads! I have been failed by the dryer. So while those get set asside, I'm making sure that my work clothes that are also getting spruced up are really clean then.

Amongst other things to note; I smell warm. Warm being not a traditional smell; I'm not exactly sure as to how one smells of it; but I want to make note of that because of such.

Cat who is sleeping on my bed right now. Is judging me for washing only my towels. He will commandeer them later tonight undoubtedly once he realizes they are nice and warm and that he can take them without me being too mad at him.

As for other priorities. New Shirt. It's Thursday tomorrow. Driving a Mazda 6 now and not sure what's to mind.

07/24/12 Litter Box

There is little point in attempting to tell one's cat that you've cleaned his poop box. He'll sit there; look at you and you'll look back and then you'll just sigh in general blah because you are the servant in this equation.

For think about it; you've just demeaned yourself into serving a cat. And in doing so you've cleaned up his poop while he looks at you with almost laughing eyes. Yes that's how I think of my cat.

07/23/12 Psyonics

Mental stuff. As in psychic powers and what not. The projection of mind and it's ability over matter and power.

That m'dear is what's happening to me right now. I feel as if someone is reading and simultaneously bashing my head into the desk.

I wonder if it couldn't be my cat. He does stare at me in contempt for having forced him to live with me in this residence.

Paycheck before the end of the week; really looking forward to it. Headachey; think I mentioned that. Going to lie down now.

Well considering I finished blogging; that is the purpose of why I got off; no?

Took my first real calls today. Stressful but I did well.

07/22/12 Cat Sitting

So the parentals came by today. And all of a sudden I find the house cat is in my care for 3 weeks. Yep. As in I'm feeding him, cleaning up his cat litter and all that jazz.

The cat is prancing around my room as I type this. He's interested in everything and has only just gotten over the shock of being alone. And thus he's rubbing his scent glands on literally everything and I'm just like GAH CAT HAIR!

Which isn't to say I don't love him. I do. He's my kitty. My loyal and loving kitty. I enjoy his company and even more so I enjoy being around him. Or rather I tolerate his presence because I'm somewhat lonely.So yeah. He glares at me with thos kitty eyes of his.

I'm going to regret letting him find a hiding spot in my towels soon enough though. 

07/21/12 Extras

My head is all kinds of headache right now.

In other news. Had maintence come out yesterday to fix things... MASSIVE BRAID OF HAIR found in the drains of my bathtub. (Which is why it wasn't draining)

That and with a bit of magic he fixed my AC unit. It's no longer broiling in my room :) It's a pleasant 70ish give or take. I'd love it if it were around 60, but that's not happening. I'll probably just invest in a fan if I think it to be a real issue.

07/20/12 Air Conditioning

I have it again. :)

07/19/12 Heat

It's cooking in my room/apartment. And I don't mean in the good way. It's like almost 80 in my room and probably hotter. Why? AC decided to stop working properly. I set it to 50 but it won't cool down :/

Already put in the repair request. With any luck it'll cool down soon. Until then. I'm going to head off to bed. In large part because my laptop can't handle running things with this much heat.

07/18/12 Home Cooking

There is indeed something magical about making a home cooked meal. And a home cooked meal I have indeed made.

Pasta was on sale at the store so I bought a batch and whipped it together with some ground beef and delicious mushies.

Yes I love mushrooms. I know lots of people who hate them... Which I don't really understand. These are savory little bursts of awesome; Why/how could you dislike them! That's just like blasphemy!

So yeah; delicious stuff :)

Sipping on some Tonic water to mellow myself out since I promised I wouldn't buy any alcohol until I got my first paycheck. Can't wait for next week. Gonna be living an interesting life until then. Granted first paycheck most of it is going to pay off my rent :/ And I'm going to start stockpiling on goods for the future kitty. And then of course there's the fact that I'd have to lock down most of the stuff in my room. So yeah; gotta plan.

I'm thinking of a small black kitten. I'll be home most evenings to play with him and take pictures and after a bit I'll let him have roam of the main areas. A small handvac will be practical by that time. I wanted a main coon but they shed almost as much as I do and that would be an issue.

07/17/12 About Right

First day after car crash. Feeling good. Doing well in class; and enjoying life as is. Making friends of my co-workers and they seem to think I'm a pretty cool guy too :)

In other news. Gainesville is kinda boring. Not much to do around here. Might grab a movie when my paycheck lands next weekend. Though the bills and the ticket I have aren't going to be fun :/

So yeah. Going back to chatting with my friend in Tenn for now. If you need me; give the Ghost Villa a ring.

07/16/12 Car Crash

I got into my first car crash today.

The roads were slippery I was going like 20 miles per hour. Tried to stop; brakes wouldn't work right; skid. Rear ended another car.

Insurance lady was pretty cool once she found out I was a fellow CSR.

Made the experience go better.

07/15/12 Moving

I seriously need to sleep. Like right now. Because I'm getting before the crack of dawn to drive down to Gainesville. With any luck I should make it there with enough time and if I'm SUPER lucky I should be able to move some of my stuff in.

Here's to hoping!

07/14/12 Back in Saint Augustine

For a night or 2. Haven't yet decided on which one is better.

In theory I could totally grab a shower at Nationwide on Monday morning if I drove back that morn.

07/13/12 Friday the Thirteenth

Friday the 13th! And I'm giving a friend a massage because he hurt his back again.

Ah well just being nice.

First week of work ended. *Yay*. Etc. Etc.

Only 5 more weeks of training. Pray for me that I don't snap.

07/12/12 End

It's the end of the week almost. And... I still can't move into my new apartment.

07/11/12 Gonna go lie down.

I could be doing some more stuff but I won't be. Why? I dunno

I just feel significantly more tired today than usual.

Could be that my speed lunch of hummus isn't working with me.

Alternatively.

I did have a decently long day. Oh and since day 3 is over all.


On another note, tomorrow I should be able to go to my new apartment.

Which of course means I'm going to buy some ramen and make a delicious ramen dish :)

Yus I'm crazy and love bacon like that.

Watching Adventure Time right now. No real reason why.

07/10/12 Badges

I has a work badge now :) Yus!

WIN.

Also today 2 years ago I met a few friends and my ex.

But that's a different story. Things happened. And while I remember it, nothing else really matters I suspect.

Bah, going to bed.

07/09/12 New Job

So yeah, today was my first day on the job :)

And it was awesome. Just wanted to say that.

Awesome.

And yes it's still something that hasn't sunk in yet luvs.

07/08/12 Hotel

I'm at a hotel right now. My first day on the job starts tomorrow and I just woke up from a nap with the feeling that I threw up a little in the back of my throat.

Had some water and thusly decided that the hummus I craved for lunch is likely causing mild acid reflux. Not a great feeling, I assure you. Ugh. Gonna go lie back down in a sec after I move some of my valued things inside. I fear my car getting broken into. Mildly irrational I suspect, or maybe it's VERY RATIONAL!

07/07/12 Packing

Apologies are in order for the delay and thus late post. For you see I am in the midst of packing and repacking things. Lots of things :(

Moving tomorrow after all.

07/06/12 Lease Stuff

It's a bitch of course my friends.

The leasing documents and other mumbo-jumbo.

For you see I swear these people don't want my business.

So yesterday I call around 11 and they're like "The leasing manager is out to lunch, call back later."

And I'm like well it's my fault for not calling sooner. Okay, Call back later.

At 12 (cleaning and packing, mind you), get on the phone and call back. "The leasing manager isn't here anymore, he took the rest of the day off."

Ok so I'm like WTF. Your receptionist tells me to call back and you aren't able to be gotten a hold of. I politely leave my information and called back again today.

They took 3 hours to fix 2 lines on this lease form. And then sent me the wrong one. Had to call back and more or less talk to the same chick 3 times for her to send me the other lease (have to sign 2 leases, one for this month and the other for the whole year).

Ugh. It shouldn't be this hard to get things done.

Just saying.

07/05/12 Insta-Ques

In Role Playing Game terminology, the concept of a tank exists as that of an individual party member who's purpose lies in protecting other party members.

Generally burly in composure and wearing of heavy armor, these male and female specimens aid in the development of the party by being the literal meat shield that takes the blunt of the damage that is composed at them.

Have I lost you yet?

No?

Ok.

Anyway found an apartment. Have to fight for certain leasing terms to get fixed, etc.

07/04/12 It's Independence Day

Yay! Fireworks day.

Because I seriously don't care about Independence Day (the movie was good though I suspect). Am I un-patriotic? Yeah a little. We're not helping other countries free themselves of tyranny anymore because it isn't in our interests. So we've lost our mark in what we as a nation was founded on.

Ah well.

That aside, Hm.. Cat's in my room somewhere but I don't sense him. And... Uhm. Yeah. Apartment pretty much found.

07/03/12 What's in the Middle

This Song. It's old yes. But I love it.

Several of the lines of it are very special to me for some or whatever reason. I've yet to exactly figure it out. I suppose it's due to my random nature and how the 3rd and 7th tune streaks echo in a way that I enjoy.

In other news it's the day before July 4th. Which makes it July 3rd.

Today was full of nothing more. A bit of randomness and a taste of my memory.

I recently found an old friend. He's a nice guy and we hit it off pretty well sometime last year. However due to various circumstances I kinda sorta maybe freaked him out. And so started 7 months of us not talking.

Then last week out of the blue I get a Skype message saying that he's sorry for hurting me and that he doesn't deserve my friendship. I of course had long since gotten over my grudge and was rather happy to have a friend back.

It's good I suppose. Though in the end I'll be moving on.

07/02/12 Heat

OH GOD I'M MELTING :(

MELTING
MELTING
MELTING

Did I say I was melting yet? Because I am. And I was melting too. But now even more so.

__

Well no. The Air conditioning finally kicked in and after hydrating on 3 liters of water I think I'm staballized.

But yes. It's hot. Very hot today. Not scorching hot yet. But still very very hot. 

07/01/12 July

So yeah I had a feeling I didn't post anything for this day. Well guess I forgot to or my mind slipped or I was simply too busy talking to someone to jot something. Yes I'm horrible like that.
