even though it's my day off, there are things to take care of and just now am i learning how tricky time management can be. especially next week and next month, i'll be juggling some important stuff. so i gotta be fast paced, even when i'm feeling tired and over my head.
 
Had a kids birthday today, the restaurant got real crowded, rain came at 3:30, drenching me up, I FINALLY had a cigarette :left: and I luckily made it on the 5PM ferry. Boy, I am tired.

But 13 days left til vacation!!
 
First wedding anniversary is today. We don't have any plans as of yet (no $$$ to do much), but we did start the day off with great episodes of @midnight and Doctor Who. If nothing else we can just buy a bottle of something drunk-y and stream some MST3k. It should be a good day no matter what we get up to.
 
Just realized today, ten years ago, is the day I got the game Sly 2. I'm on the last level and intend to finish it after work today.

Kind of a strange feeling. It's a nice one though.

Other than that, work and school are going alright. School in particular has been really busy.
 
I was even grumpier today. Ended up buying a pack of cigarettes instead of bumming one, thats how grumpy I was. I just want the season to end! At least I have just 6 days of work left until that!

On the flip side of things, however, I'm impressed at how busy its been for the month. September is reeeeaaaaaaallllllly slow down here since everyone goes back to school, hurricane season, etc but its been incredibly steady during the days and there's a variety of the demographs/types of people that are still around. Quite different compared to last year. I guess this is because of the island's new airport that opened in April. Can't wait for me to see it with my own eyes.
 
very very good today! it's really been quite a rainy summer, and this autumn sure has been really warm. i got off work just 4 hours in because it was a slow day, and it's been a nice break from all the overtime (which i have...mixed feelings about). did some drawing! i really think i'm getting better!

and of course for all the downers i get, sometimes i get an upper phase. today was definitely one!
 
i'm actually pretty shit right now. i started a new job and was pretty happy about that, despite it requiring 14 hour shifts. i'm not one to complain about working too much, more time means more money after all. but yesterday i find out from my boss (after working for three months) that the misdemeanor on my record - which was dismissed after i was brought to court - means i can't work there, at least until it's expunged. so basically i hafta pay off the government to work, to the tune of 700 bucks, and the entire process takes 2-3 months, meaning i'll won't be working this job til after xmas. i work a second job though so i'm not completely boned, but it's barely enough to cover rent, let alone food/power/internet (if i disappear from the site for a month, you'll know why). i did a little freelance writing over the summer and i'm trying to see if there's any work available on that front but pickings seem pretty slim, and i'll probably have to pick up a minimum wage job in the meantime to make ends meet.

to top it off, my girlfriend graduates this month and i'm not even sure if i'll be able to afford getting her a nice gift with the paltry change in my savings. so i've been pissy with her and avoiding my friends because i don't want anyone to see that i'm within inches of being destitute. i guess that's honestly why i'm posting in this thread - it's free and i'm basically anonymous so i don't have any shame telling you guys. plus if i don't tell someone i think i'm going to rob a gas station and die in the resulting police standoff.

that was a joke, btw. please don't call the e-cops on me.
 
This may sound silly, but I saved a soldier ant* from drowning in the pool yesterday. Thought it was dead at first but then the little dudette starts moving and gets up.

*Soldier ants are a caste of workers (all worker ants are sterile females) with larger heads than normal workers, due to the larger muscles needed to power the huge mandibles.

bees and wasps have been getting all up in my business whenever i find time to go outside. maybe it's because i was carrying some highlighters.
 
I spent my morning giving the kitchen a through cleaning because it needed it and everyone else in my household is unwilling or unavailable to do it. Then I had a nice lunch and a few cups of tea. Now I'm filling out some college financial aid papers so I can finally get some extra money to go back to school next year.

I think later today I want to practice more coding with Ruby and start exploring Java... and have some more tea.
 
In standstill traffic for 3 hours today. Had to take a leak the whole time. God bless America.

A funny thing to do in that kind of traffic is see what other people are doing. Mostly it's boring; sometimes someone is really going to town cleaning their nose.
 
Big fight with girlfriend Friday/Saturday. Made up and tried to enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Feeling like shit. Lost any urge to eat. Not really sure what to do with my time now. That lack of motivation/drive/willingnesstomove has hit.
