cold snaps suck

I'm hating this weather. And it was so nice for so long, too.

I have some really inconsiderate neighbors. They share a wall with us and are always waking us up with their subwoofer. It's always, boom, 7 o'clock on a Sunday, wub wub.

Today I had enough of it after having to hear my wall shake in time to "Baby Got Back" three times. Now, don't get me wrong. I love me some Sir-Mix-a-Lot. But he loses his charm when you hear about his anaconda not wantin' none after numerous times.

Today, I got fed up, and pulled out my old speaker system and proceeded to listen to the entire Rammstein discography. Loudly, too.

I'm not sorry. Fuck you, neighbors.
 
I took part one of a forklift operation class today. I took the written test and got a 98% and will have a operator's license once I take the driving test, which takes place either when I get a job and my instructor helps me pass the test, or I go back when it's warm outside.
 
I just want to quit my job. I have a (semi) reasonable excuse as well as a letter all finalized. I've never formally resigned from anything, so this is kind of nerve-wracking for me. What makes it more difficult is that I really don't hate the people. My coworkers are really nice and can be pretty fun. The job just sucks.

However, this seems to be the one week where it's impossible to talk to my manager. I was going to hand in my notice Sunday, but since we're a grocery store and it was the Superb Owl, ended up sparing her. She was in on Monday, when I also had work, but called me not to come in due to snow. On Tuesday, her schedule said she'd be in, and I also got called in to work. She wasn't in. She won't be in again til Friday, when I don't have work scheduled.

I need to give my two weeks soon or it's really going to overlap with some musical ventures. That's the official excuse. It's not untrue. I do have an audition for a chorus coming up, which would be pretty time consuming if I got in. It starts in June, though. The truth is, I also would like to be able to visit my boyfriend soon for an extended period of time and I just don't give enough fucks about cashiering to have to wait like it's Vietnam. We had to wait 6 months between visits because of my job last time and it was abysmal.

If I was doing anything better than serving people I hate and was paid anything more than minimum wage, this would be a different case. But lol no. I quit. And if I have to barge into work on Friday to do it, I will.

You know it's been cold recently when it was in the 40's today (Fahrenheit ), and it felt very nice.
 
Since it's the theme of colds...I was diagnosed with a random virus the other day at the doctor...attempted going to work today and that wasn't so smart. Ended up going home early.

I'm in the process of making a hot toddy for said virus. Wish I could share the love with the forums in the form of warm whiskey and honey.
 
This is pretty much me:

Just woke up, and I'm super sore from taking a run yesterday. Trying to learn Gàidhlig online until classes start again next week.

How're y'all?
 
Spent most of yesterday either in bed or throwing up. Gotta love stomach bugs!

I'm doing way better now (bit tired still, but otherwise peachy) but DAMN. Yesterday was not fun. :(

At least I've got some fun stuff planned for the weekend. I have my first sewing lesson on Friday, and then I'm spending the weekend hanging out with a good friend. :D
 
argh i've been sick with a gut virus or SOMETHING for like a week. and i haven't gotten any work and i've been stressed about it.

Doing good. I just got back from Kauai, and yesterday, I got a shift for tonight along with the shifts I already had for this weekend. I was worrying about my job a while ago, but it seems like I'm in the clear for now.

Didn't really get a chance to try a lot of it unfortunately. :( I did try out the shrimp you mentioned and liked it a bit.

I did try out some sugar cane there. I was surprised. It's kinda like gum in that you chew on it for a while and then spit it back out.

Thanks again though. That was really thoughtful of you.
 
Few days ago I made a post in the coping thread about my 19 year old cat generally being a 19 year old animal--alive, kinda sweet, but we all could tell that her time left with us wasn't going to be very long. I came home from the boyfriend's this morning, got on my conference call for work, and saw her lying in the hallway. I thought she had died and immediately started howling. Kitty, of course, raised her head up and toddled over to nuzzle me.

My mom came home from work after I called her and let her know what happened and we went to the emergency vet together. It's hard to see your pets suffer but I know we made the right decision. We talked about it earlier in the week and agreed that Kitty's quality of life was definitely greatly diminished. I wanted to hold her while the drugs were administered and I'm glad I did.

Kitty was my first cat. I've had her since I was 6 or 7. I'm 24 now and it blows my mind to really think about how long we had her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

19 years is a long life for a cat. I know this sounds sappy, but I firmly believe in an afterlife, and I'm sure that Kitty is happy where she is now. And she was so lucky to have left this world in the arms of someone who loved her.

It's always incredibly hard to lose a pet, but you made the right choice, and you made it out of love.

Thanks. I lost another senior kitty (Sasha) at 19 in 2013. She passed away in my arms. We adopted her in 2002 so we seem to be doing something right in regards to keeping them happy and healthy.

Kitty, despite being a semiferal cat, definitely loved and lived the housecat life. She actually ran away in 2002 when I was in New York with my mom and grandma and we suspect she was stuck in someone's garage. As petty as she could be with coming home at a reasonable hour if she was mad at you I had a feeling she wouldn't just completely disappear for nearly a week. She showed up a couple days after we came home and of course right after we adopted Sasha (we went to the SPCA to look if anyone had been brought in and there was something about Sasha that just spoke to us).

I almost feel like the harder part is watching your loved animals decline rather than death itself. Like, because you remember all the wacky shit they used to do and things they'd kill and bring home (thanks for the headless bunny, Kitty. I guess.) and you have to face the reality that they're clearly pained or much skinnier than they were or just not how they used to be.

No joke, being distraught over Patti vs Corrinna is the thing I give Chris a pass for. Some people just connect to animals better.
