I live O.o
My grueling work schedule nearly broke me, though, as the following chart should indicate:
The 7-day stretch is what sealed the nail in the coffin, so to speak. After I nearly started crying for the fifth time on the Tuesday it seemed like a good idea to quit before a proper breakdown would ... break out :p
Lesson learned from this summer's 5 weeks of almost full time work? I'm not cut out for full time work xD At least not in an environment that constantly puts pressure on my panic-anxiety. It might be a different story were I stuck in an office with minimal social contact, who knows.
And part of me feels very proud of the fact that I pulled the train to a halt before it went over the famous cliff of mental doooooom. It actually physically shocked me to be that close and not jumping. Strange sensation, but a nice one compared to the alternative >.>
Being burned out is the reason you've not seen me around here lately but now that I'm rested there should be more activity from my corner :3
Tidbits :o
- I've misread soooo many things at work that it became quite dangerous. Mostly because words ended up immensely funny or disturbing. A sample of words that replaced very harmless ones include hentai, massacre, murderous cookies, blow job. Yeah....
- I worked until closing one day and the security guard who locks up after us asked which anime my ring tone was from O___O After ascertaining I hadn't imagined him using the word 'anime' I told him it was from Totoro. He grinned and said "The cat bus rocks"!!!! If it weren't for the fact that I had to be out of there and on my way home I so would've seized the opportunity to geek out, haha.
The second time we crossed ways (again at closing time) he asked if his question had surprised me, which it certainly did, and we talked a little about anime while the other cashier put moneys away. I tried to include cashier guy to join us but he wasn't an otaku, sadly. Though he'd seen two Ghibli movies. Score! Security guard was currently watching "I think it's called Death Book" *giggle* and though it was popular among the ladies because "It's very Johnny Depp". That statement nearly had me doubled over.
- My eldest sister is working on vamping up her apartment so I helped out with painting the cupboard doors. When the time comes to slap paint on the walls I've enlisted my services to take some of the load off her back. She's not a practical person and it's only now that I've fully comprehended that ^^;
- With money in the bank and reduced price tag on the entire "Star Trek: Voyager" collection it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what I did. So far seasons 1, 2, 3 and 7 are in my possession and hopefully the others will arrive soon. It was a pleasant surprise to find that not only did my memory serve me right in regards to quality but it actually proved to be better than I remembered! :o (Because of a severe case of moron in the planning department of the scheduling responsible peeps at the channel which aired Voyager here in Sweden I missed most of season 6 and all of 7, so it'll be nice to see it to the end ;_;)
As an added bonus the dvd-shop included a schway 3-d key chain with Voyager on it ^^.
- I have a treasure box filled with jewelery appliances, along with a bunch of other arts/crafts stuff that I'd like to get stuck into. I smell Tinkering Day :D
Lastly I'd like to send a huuuuuuge hug to Shimmy-Loo because he's a darling. Squeezes to Daggeroo and TC, too :3
And everyone gets smooches!
