Friday again and time on my hands.

I really think that the lab should simply close up on Fridays.  There's not enough people here testing for it to be justified keeping this place open 12 hours a day.  With that complaint registered....

 

I've altered the ability to leave comments on the blog - at least temporarily (but I may just leave it this way from now on).  Yes, you can still leave comments on posts, no problem, I love comments and I do read them.  However, you now only have 2 weeks to do so instead of being able to do it at any time - and that's because I've been noticing a lot of comment spam appearing, especially on older posts in the archive.  I've removed it all now, but I don't mind saying that it irritated the living fuck out of me.  Nobody wants these moronic products these idiots keep trying to push.  An interesting thing, though - while I was going through the blog removing the spam, I came across a lot of drafts that were never published, old posts that I'd started and abandoned.  Just little fragments of thoughts here and there, it was mildly interesting.  I deleted them all, though, so it means that my 200th post really... wasn't my 200th post, boo hiss.  Eh, well, I'm surprised I've gotten this far with the blog in the first place, I've never followed through on anything I've started in my life.  That's one flaw I'll admit to.  Oh, and one more thing - I'm going to be paring down the list of blogs on the side, as some people either don't write in them anymore or they've changed their addresses, blah blah, so expect to see some things change soon.  Also considering a new background, too - I'm sick of the blue fucking roses, that wasn't meant to be permanent anyhow and it's ugly.  Heh.

 

While the beginning of the week was a hot mess, it's calmed down considerably since.  Last weekend was neither productive nor a good time for me, so I'm hoping this weekend will prove to be much better.  More homework, of course - it doesn't seem that it'll ever end - but I'll do the best that I can.  I have plans for the summer to finally get started on the driving course/school (if the MVA will let me, anyway, there seems to be a slight medical problem with my vision - doesn't that figure), a couple of easy classes to take, that sort of thing.  And waiting, as always.  Seems that I've turned inward on myself and I'm just concentrating on knocking out long-held goals for myself, one after the other.  So be it.  It's nothing that I didn't need to do anyway, and it's not like there's any pressing need for me to do anything else. 

 

Heh, I've only been here 35 minutes and I have an agonizing 7 hours to go.  I HATE working on Fridays.  Doesn't help when one of my coworkers is chatting mindlessly away about nothing in my ear while I'm trying to think and write my thoughts down.  Makes me want to put my hands around his neck and throttle him silent, heh.

 

I'm really not as dissatisfied with my life at the moment as it seems.  I just get tired of hearing the "clientele" bitch about a situation that they put THEMSELVES in, that's all.  The only thing that I want to do is scream "shut the fuck up" at them, but I can't.  I'm sure that people who have worked customer service counters feel the same way (and I DID work a customer service counter for 7 years, so I know from too much experience).  I'm just a little burned out, that's all.  Tired of the nasty habits and the uneducated thoughts that pop out of these peoples' mouths - but the sad thing is that I can't really blame them too much, as a lot of it is simply that, no education, not knowing any better.  The compassionate part of me (and yes, I DO have one, fuck you very much) sympathizes and wants to help, but the cynical, jaded part of me screams for these people to get off their lazy fucking asses and fix themselves, no one else is going to do it for them.  A hard line to walk, you know what I'm saying?

 

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough, I suppose.  I want to say that there'll be more later and that it'll be erudite and intelligent and blah-blah, but the fact is - who knows.  This blog hasn't been any of the above so far, so why expect it now?  :p

 

Bleh.
