plans – Imaginary Sunshine

Musings for the weekend

My dolly blog is up! However, the links on the side don’t work (yet). They link back here, haha. But I’ll get them done this weekend – I got a little sidetrack by this cute feel-good movie that was on tv (called Chestnut: Hero of Central Park) which, while predictable, was a very nice movie overall. Anyways, the new blog is called Little Miss Sophie (yeah, I was really original there, wasn’t I?). The colours need a bit of work, might change the header soon, but not sure yet. But the basics of it is up, a post is up. I just need to finish off my pages and take more photos of my darling Sophie.

Work pretty much sucked today. It was long, boring, tedious and tiring. I’m just so glad that it’s the weekend. Work’s been difficult the last week, mainly due to the roof construction and the fact that the smell makes me feel sick (and it’s kind of difficult to escape it as it goes ends up saturating the entire building by about noon).

I’m not going to be home for most of this weekend, it seems so far. Plans, plans, plans! Plus there’s shopping to get in somewhere. I need to make/buy/do something for my friend’s birthday gift next week. Another weekend where I’m honestly never going to be home, hah. When on earth did I start having a life? I think I made the same comment last time I had plans for my entire weekend. It’s just such a foreign concept to me. I’m just so used to having no plans, beyond a few hours of volunteering on Sundays. Occasionally there’s a sale at the crafts store, which is always planned in advance, but beyond that… Not a whole hell of a lot goes on in my life during the weekends. Well… Apparently things will be happening this weekend and next, but usually nothing happens.

Also… I’m looking for more stuff to fill in my weekends as I’m going over available dates/times for first aid courses (because, you know, the courses that fit great into my schedule as it currently stands? Not the one required for nursing school. The one that I need? Doesn’t fit in quite that well unless I want to travel for it. Which I will end up doing, as I want to do it before school starts).

Can’t sink any lower

Today’s been pretty slow. Woke up, went to work, spent an absurd amount of time walking between my cubicle and the computers I used to work on all the time because a) my computer is not hooked up to any of the printers in the building and b) their’s is really the only computers I feel comfortable using as they know what I’m doing and… they’re used to me asking if I can print something ‘really quick’. That being said, I spent most of today and will probably spend most of tomorrow getting things ready for Friday. Where I’ll be attending a meeting with a bunch of people that I don’t really know and explaining to them what I’m doing. I hate public speaking with a dying passion, so hopefully it’s not too bad. And it’s not like it’s a topic I don’t know and am forced to BS in front of people. But still. Michelle and public speaking is a bad, bad, bad combination. So hopefully Friday goes well (and yes, I’ll probably bring this up again tomorrow – I’m occasionally predictable like that).

Oh, for interesting coworker conversations… It was my mom, A, D and myself in the lunchroom. So my mom’s washing her lunch dishes and I’m waiting for her to be done, and she mentions that I should be a good daughter and do hers as well (she was joking – unlike my father, in regards to dishes). So I mentioned (with a smile!) that I was a horrible daughter.

D heard (of course) and laughs and goes “The truth comes out at last!”. A didn’t hear it and asked D what he was talking about – it gets repeated. And they laugh (and laugh and laugh and laugh). So then D and I continue this conversation about how it’s technically better to be either the worst or the best because you’d be the “best” in the category, regardless. Score. A was telling me that I probably wasn’t that bad, which I agreed to. But it helps as if you’re the ‘worst’ at something, you really can’t sink any lower. I just reread all of that and it barely makes any sense to me, and I was there. I guess it was just one of those “you have to be there” things.

At work, there’s two D’s (actually, there’s a lot more than two D’s, too many people have similar or the same name there, but that’s besides the point). And one’s really nice and pretty easy going (and was the one who laughed and said that the truth comes out at last…) and the other one is kind of annoying and likes bugging me. Or tossing used paper towels (covered in black grease or whatever it is that comes from the machines) at me. And since I’ve been back at work (since April 27th, a Monday) he’s been actually civilized to me and hasn’t tried to press my face into disgusting paper towels or tried to push me around or trip me or anything. I think someone’s grown up since last summer. And I’m quite pleased with that as grease (or whatever that stuff is) is disgusting. I have no clue exactly what it is, just that it’s gross. And I’d very much like to refrain from getting it on me (… that said, I have gotten it on my hands before… Thanks to some other people who thought it’d be really damn funny to wipe it on me. Names withheld.).

And… I think that’s all my news for today. Work, some conversation, some growing up, more work and more work and more work… I certainly know how to have an excellent summer while off from school. Most of my friends seem to be either working (part-time) at one or two jobs and/or taking summer classes. And some of them are telling me that I have no life as I’m juggling full-time work, 2 hours a week for volunteering and whatever else it is that I do with my time (crafting, blogging, lusting after Blythe dolls, instant messaging… eating, sleeping, watching television, Twittering… having arguments with my dad, socializing, spending time with people…)… I guess that seems like a lot. But I don’t sleep that much, honest!

I twilight-fangirl-squealed a little on the inside.

I am totally blogging this just so I can look back and point back to the exact date that the lovely boyfriend agreed to go see Twilight with me in the event that he’s a total jerk (again) and cancels on me (again…). Anyways, as the plans currently stand, we will be going to see Twilight on December 21st.

Which means, of course, that I’ll get to see him like… 3-4 times this month? -jaw drops- Yeah, I know, I’m shocked too. But that’s how the plan is right now and I’m really excited excited since I haven’t seen him since my birthday party (… November 8th) and I really want to see the movie. Now I’m just hoping that the movie is as good as the hype is

And umm… Yeah, that’s about it for the moment. I need to start reading the psychology textbook, the final is in six days!
