0303: I was really always this

Feels like ages since I blogged so regularly that I didn't feel the need to comment on the span of time between entries, but here we are.

It's been a very busy week. I slept in through my alarm Friday morning and got to work a half hour late. I was on track to have a pretty frustrating day when at about noon the ceiling started to drip, and the store ended up flooding.

During some maintenance to the upstairs store, someone had busted the sprinkler pipe. The store was closed for the rest of the day. Until the ceiling tiles started coming down, Jeff the receiver guy and I tried frantically to move product out from the path of the water, before figuring "fuck it." (Most of what we moved ended up in good shape.)

It's one of those things you've just gotta laugh at, by that point. I usually take minor inconveniences badly, but such absurdly big big ones just amuse the piss out of me, because what else are you gonna do? After the cleanup crew showed up and cleared the largest pools, we spent the rest of the afternoon drying up product. I had to go in at 7 AM to get things set up to open on time that day, with Andrea and Karen. It went pretty well. The kicker was all that alphabetization we ha just done a few days earlier. Sigh.

Beyond that, the weekend was uneventful. Eric ended up going to see friends and I had a night to myself for the first time in months. The sickening thing is how lonely and bored I got. I didn't know what to do with myself, since by now I've forgotten what having all that freedom meant.

I was supposed to see Chantelle's band play Sunday night, but my ride (Andrea) fell through, which is a shame, but what are ya gonna do. I've also been trying to wrangle Cait and manage to get out to Toronto Friday night for Christmas in July at Neabel's. Suddenly I'm all social.

And that about sums it up. I could go on, I could've unpacked all those stories, but I'm tired and just wanted to get it all out there. I should write more. Not SWP, per se, but get back to my projects at least.

The other thing is, I mostly got my course schedule anxiety worked out, and have a load I can pretty much handle/tolerate/will allow me to graduate. Things could be better, but it's all worked out about as well as could be expected, considering the rocky, frustrating start I had.

I've got other stuff to work on. It's a decent problem to have, to want to be wherever you're wanted.

Keep on rockin'
