The last couple of weeks at work have been shaky. There was a lot of time cut and a lot of times to get sent home. Luckily, my supervisor knew that I'd work hard and gave me my full bonus despite an absense. So it was almost a full paycheck, but that time lost would have been really useful. Still, I consider myself ahead of the game, and I'm trying harder than I normally do to hold on to my money. However I am at the "I WANT T EAT EVERYTHING" portion of the month, and SOLAR is next weekend. After today I will not be sleeping much.
I'm also staying at my parents place this week off and on to take care of Dave, my parent's darling baby. He has to take medicine twice a day. Its really quite painless a procedure, they just didnt want to have to take them to North Carolina on their trip. My mother recently quit her job due to continued abuse by her boss; I am still considering leaving him something nasty over how much of a jerk he's been and destroying the company he and his father put together. I am a little worried for her, but I think she will manage.
I am a bit burned out working seven days a week. The renfaire has been pretty slow but now its getting hot and I really, really am getting irritated by the assistant manager. She's good for selling, always has something to say, but she does not. shut. up. My tolerance wanes.
I keep sticking my hand in a pot of boiling water. Hurts every time. I think I may finally be learning, sorta. We'll see. I need more options.
I had a dream that I was at a convention and I had a motorcycle, and I was driving all around atlanta and exploring a very maze-y city. I remember I had a list of roads I wanted to memorize so I always knew where I was, and I felt like it would take years; an intimidating task but something I wanted to do. I kept dipping in and out of bars and conference rooms, finding people of all sorts like bikers and adventuers and geeks etc. Also I did some shopping at a weird mall... buying clothes etc. This is not the first time this theme has showed up in my dreams recently.
Last time it was two malls, one in Japan and one in Germany, connected by a tunnel which was customs/check in. The Japan mall was old and crowded, and in my mind I though they were going to be mirrors of each other, one with everything in Japanese and one in German, but when I walked into the mall with an old friend, Jessie, it became a lush hotel-like paradise with strange geometric patterns in a lush carpeting that covered the walls and ceiling, too, lots of ornate chairs, etc. It was like the mall was a giant house display, and you went shopping by finding clothing in dressers in rooms that were the "stores". That dream ended with me and Jessie jumping on the bed.
Anyway. After the scene with me on the motorbike, me and a group of adventuerers/ruffians/survivors? Were treking through the wilderness, I think at some point I was in a truck, and some surviving plantation was the tree farm near my dad's old house, which was barricaded with a fence of trees which obscured my vision from seeing most of the
area. Then later me and others were on foot, and we came across a bunch of bows and arrows and used them to try and take some people's house from them, I think. Its a little fuzzy.

Last night I had really strange dreams about designing a series of muppets, them coming to life in some sort of jungle set. Then I had the dream that I was "on the run" and surviving homeless by stealing from people, as well as murdering people. It was some sort of pseudo-modern society where people wore fancy clothes and didn't use guns. There was a scene in the dream where me an some really pretty woman were casing a fancy dress store, while being stared down by the owners of the store. For some reason she was stupid enough to keep trying to steal right in front of the owner. I also remember a scene where one of my homeless cohorts was shot through with a dozen arrows. Pretty gross.
So yesterday marked my 1 year at the phone farm. It hasn't been bad, I'm one of the top performers here. I hope that gives me job security, because some changes with the company we work for has left us with very few calls in the last month, which means I'm getting less hours, less money, etc. I'm ahead of the game right now but this will add up, and quickly. : / I hope I am not going to get laid off, because it's been nice feeling like I'm finally getting ahead again. And, my roommates are moving out; I barely have time to try and find more. The house is relatively messy (though pretty good for myself), and a lot of work needs to be done before I start showing people. After this weekend I'm still existing in a state of constant sleepyness, but I think I'm starting to recover; going to Thor at 10 tonight probably won't help, but hey. Girl's gotta do. :)
Tonight is Thor! With my best bud ...

Saw Thor thought it sucked. I got off early at work yesterday, so I went swimming in the neighborhood pool, which was nice. I wanted to get more work done on SOLAR
stuff but I am developing a cold, so I slept in the afternoon.
I am really being a bum about taking MARTA. With gas the
way it is rationally I really don't have a choice, but I
have so much to do these days its hard to relinquish an
additional hour to an hour and 20 minutes in the evening.

I was going to take MARTa this morning but its cold and my jacket is at my mom's house. Instead, I left early and dropped a package off for the friend from New Zealand, currently living in Australia. He had be relay an e-bay purchase which was US Shipping only, ha.
I had a pretty good weekend, I think. I have a bad habit of not sharing how I feel about things with people I care about due to fear of repercussions, and what I can tell this is for good reason. I'd also like to note that i am an idiot for putting myself in the same, continuous emotionally stressful situation. But I keep doing it. Its a bad habit.
This weekend at the renaissance festival was pretty good. I worked, drank beer, watched a couple of jousts and caught some shows for the first time in awhile. I do enjoy heckling / audience participating. I always feel a little bad about being obnoxious, but its so much fun. I can blame that one beer I had, right?!?! Work was very slow Saturday, which worked out better than I had expected. Sunday was surprisingly busy and I think we made a good profit.
I had weird dreams last night! I blame the pixel image Julia sent me, I had dreams about Spock and the TOS crew adventures, and then I married Spock. We had hijacked some sort of rocketship, Apollo-era style, and were navigating with Sulu the little pod through space. We had to fly through a ruined, larger ship twice which was pretty neat visually. And then we were on Vulcan, and somehow Spock and I were married, and we went to a Vulcan/Japanese candy shop and bought chocolate. I had a pretty good time. He told me to call him "Aggi"? Really? So weird. My subconscious is pretty hilarious. I couldn't stop thinking
that my sister would have a problem with this...
Livejournal has turned to crap, pretty much, it seems. I can't search for journals on their new engine - it doesn't turn up a damn thing. Nobody posts anymore, which is sad. I'm glad my photo storage space still works. There are people that still post. I actually added a couple of russian artists from deviantart to my friends list for the purdy updates. You know, I've never learned to really do RSS feeds or whatever due to LJ? I don't even really understand them. I don't think I care much either other than wanting to maybe add more to my friends list at some point.
I do miss pontificating in a semi-public format. I will keep writing here and I do hope LJ doesn't end its existance or anything similar. I don't want to have to move aaaall myyyy photoooos. I paid good money for that, once!
After faire I went up to Buford (oh god, gaaaas aaaah) to see a couple of the SOLAR guys and talk doing some plotline stuff. We went to Five Guys and I had a Bacon Cheeseburger and a sweet tea. SO HAPPY ZOMG. I drink water all the time now so I really enjoy the occasional deliante. This weekend I probably ate the normal amount of calories a person my weight/age should. I will also be allowing myself a maaaaassive saaaalaaad for lunch, so hungry right now!
I really need to figure out how to utilize my time on the MARTA appropriately. My phone can only do so much, and I am not currently interested enough in studying Japanese further. There's no current context for its use. A part of me still wants to learn Korean, but I haven't the opportunity at this time.
Speaking of Korean, the roommates I've had for the last six months are moving out in June. They've been fantastic. I really reeeeeally need to get some cleaning done... I will try to do so tonight. I haven't even had time to go to the gym in weeks, but I've still be losing stress weight, ha! Oh jeez.
I also had the flu last week, blah. I took a rediiiiculous amount of Mucinex D and didn't sleep much for days. Once it finally wore off I felt like I had the worst allergies ever and I had to take some of my allergy meds for the first time in months. I assume I have a sinus infection AGAIN. Blah. MOAR ANTIBIOTICS
Theres a bunch of new people at work just sitting around, not able to take phone calls. I was hoping for more boredom today, but obviously I have had enough time to write a rediculous amount of a journal post!
Gas prices are so rediculous. I really have to take MARTA for the rest of the month because it is to that point that realistically I can't afford it, especially with the roommates moving out, and not having anyone confirmed yet.
I had a bunch of people get in contact with me but since the house is a mess and I have no time, I don't want to show people until I can clean... hopefully I have the energy today. Still have two people I liked wanting to look this week.. this is going to interfere with riding MARTA because of how late I'd get back. ARRGH
Gunna do the grocery shopping before I go home... need paper towels and garbage bags for my car because my car is always a mess. Get some more bleach and spray bottles maybe. Scrubbers, etc... things for things I never like to do. The Guest bath is gross, none of us never clean ha. I want roomates juuuuust like them... sigh.
