There's a mourning dove stuck in our garage. We've left the doors open since this morning, but it hasn't noticed. Food failed to distract it as well. Poor thing keeps hitting its head against the ceiling and dripping blood all over the place.

NAGEKI, STOP HURTING YOURSELF AND GTFO

*Sperging post*

In short, I just don't know why I can't do something so simple and successful like renewing my passport without my mother thinking I "did" something wrong just because she wasn't there to hold my hand and baby me through the whole process. Add that to the fact that she made this seem like I had to do all sorts of other things and answer a bunch of questions and crap, it was all bullshit. I was out of that room within 3 minutes, the whole thing was LOADS easier than my mom made it out to be. Why can't she accept the fact that just because I was a "special child" doesn't mean I'm like that well into my adult years?

FWIW, most mothers are like that to some degree. Actually the correlation is probably stronger with kids that were always super successful because their mothers don't "get" that their kid is no longer a "kid." FDR, Winston Churchill, and J. Edgar Hoover's mothers pretty much ran their lives even at the pinnacle of their adult successes.

But I digress. (I've been waiting for the chance to write that.)

Basically, you're in good company.

You guys think you have a lot of work and stress in college just wait until you get out of college! :D

Eh, at least when you're leaving work you can more or less leave that shit at the office/job site. Less home work, and upcoming tests to study and |:( over.
 
Today I got back my results from the second Economics exam. 75% this time. I do need to study on my graphs.

I'm in a really shitty mood right now. Like, near-crying upset. My science professor gave me another 80 on a lab report. Before you tell me this isn't a bad grade, I'm aiming really high this semester and put a lot of time into stuff like this. What's worse is that she took most points off for wording. Fuck her.

I know, this shouldn't be such a big deal. It's probably hormones.

You won't believe anyone who tells you this now, but you'll view this reaction as rather silly later down the line.

Sort of. With the advent of smart phones and companies having to stay competative you may find that you can leave the office but the office never leaves you.

And that's the story of why I have an LG Octane and not a smart phone! :lol:
 
This large amounts of school work is really making me want to crash into slumber. (:_( I have a B- average among the classes right now but I really want to get my GPA up to the glory it once was before my clinical depression took hold.

I already said I know it's silly, but I'm not going to lie either. Note the tiny text.

Yeah, I can't stand it when people wear pajamas in public either. It just screams LAZY in my opinion. I guess I'll just have to shop at Target more.

To me wearing pajamas pants in public just screams WHITE TRASH. The only other way pajamas are acceptable in public are if you're sick or if it's pajama day at school/work or something.

In order to catch the bird yourself make sure it's pretty dark; close the garage door and turn off the lights if necessary. Diurnal birds like doves have trouble seeing in the dark. Then when it's on the ground throw a towel over it to catch it. Then release it outdoors. Though if it's injured I'd suggest taking it to the vet or something. It's be easy prey to a cat or hawk or something otherwise.
 
Sitting here in mirth enjoying Richard Simmons on Super Password. I'm not really a fan of Richard Simmons, but he's always such a delight on what's already a wonderfully fun and happy show. Here he is winning the Bonus game and then breaking down because he won the woman $40,000 (in 1988, this is kinda like winning what would be more like $500,000 in todays currency *SIGH* )

These are the kinds of things I mean when I say Chris should try using "mirth." All you gotta do is enjoy pleasant atmospheres on television like this. There was not a single day on Super Password where everyone wasn't laughing with each other, enjoying each others company, supporting each other, etc. The music really helps too, with all the wonderful sparkly synth effects. For celebrities and contestants and all. You just gotta sit there, and take it.

Awwwwwww... poor thing. I'd second taking it to a vet and get it's head checked out. Hopefully it's alright.

I have to admit that I ran out into public wearing pajamas and flip-flops once. ONCE. We were getting ready for bed and realized that we were out of milk, and our kids are really cranky if they don't get a sippy cup of warm milk when they wake up. So I ran out to our local convenience store. I was embarrassed and have never done it again because I felt like a walking pile of trailer trash.

That being said, I can ALMOST understand wearing pajamas on an airplane. You're trapped up in the air for God knows how long, wedged between strangers, everybody wants to be comfortable. On the other hand, you paid through the fucking nose for this and you're going to be running around airports, you might as well dress respectably. When I fly, I get a pair of khaki scrub pants with a draw string waist and wear it under a nice button-down shirt. They look like khaki slacks but feel like jammies.

I wore pajama's in public myself a couple times. First time was going to a Chinese restaurant though it was at night-time and I felt embarrassed going to one in pajama's. Second time was in the day going to Albertson's with my sister though for that, my school did have a pajama day.
 
I remember Pajama days at school. You better hope you don't have to go anywhere else after school or have to walk home from school from the bus stop looking like a lazy bum in a housecoat.
 
People out getting their groceries wearing dirty pajama pants, flip-flops, with unkempt hair and a shirt that doesn't fit right reminds me of PeopleofWalmart.com. |:( Good thing I work at a Kroger chain of stores and thus rarely see people dressed that way! :lol:
 
We got the bird out, thanks to a large net my mom bought. XD It flew off, so we can only assume (and hope) that it's alright.
 
Had my interview today, and I absolutely nailed it. I've got my second interview this Saturday, and I'm feeling good about it.
 
I've been a buzzy little bee. still need a real job, but since this this gig got extended I should get like $350 when it's over.

Haven't heard back from potential employers, though.

But I've been drawing a whole lot more.

That's a good tip. I'll have to try that the next time I fly.

I got a call from an employment agency today and set up an appointment for Wednesday. I hope this works out this time.

I told my dog tonight that I feel like I'm slowly dying, very. very. slowly. All I do while I search for jobs is sleep most days. I just can't stay awake.
