"Please get out of the way."

I got a B in algebra. And microbiology. Fine with me, considering I put minimal effort into both of those classes. Rocked an A in VET 101 too. Yeah, I'm awesome.

I'll be leaving for Cincinnati on Sunday. I didn't go last year, so it should be interesting. My family up there is very conservative, and every time they see me, someone has to act shocked and comment on my nose ring, of all things. "When did you do that??" is always the question. Funny thing is I've had it for a long time, and they've all seen it at least once before. This year however... they don't know about the tattoo. I might keep it that way. Just one more thing for them to rail me on...

Also, speaking of leaving for Cincy, I need a cat sitter. I mean, you don't have to come hang out with them- Joe's the only one who'd be truly down with hanging out with a semi-stranger. Sadie would watch from a distance, and maybe sidle up for some loving after about 15 minutes. Oliver will be under the bed or in my closet. The whole time. You may see him streak past in a full-out run on the way to one of these places when he realizes the person who came through the front door isn't me. Nope, just feed and water them. And scoop the litter. That's the big one. I can put out enough food and water for a week, but that box can't go a week or I come home to great fun. I mean, you can hang out if you want, watch a movie, whatever. Just don't steal my shit. So, any takers?

Grill holiday party was Monday. Fun, but not the epic blowout of years past. No band; karaoke instead. Not at The Grill; upstairs Tasty World instead. Very few old-school employees... well, really only one or two. Eh. Was made furious by observing the actions of a 19-year-old soon-to-be-ex-coworker. Walked home alone.

I bought car insurance today. Tomorrow I have to go do the tag/title thing. Then I have to charge the battery because I was a dumbass and forgot to start the damn thing for a while. And then I get to learn to drive! Wooo!

I joined Facebook. What the hell is wrong with me? One thing though... I'm not fond of the layout or the editing capabilities. Also, you can't just look at profiles unless you're part of some network or something. Still trying to figure it out. 3 hours in, I've already got 3 friends!

Um. That's all really. I gotta pee. And I'm cold. And sleepy.

Thursday Thoughts

Random shit.

When shopping for scrubs for my school labs, I noticed something. It's hard to find scrubs that actually fit smaller people. As in XS scrubs (with 'short' pants) are still a little too big for me. I am a small (read: short) person, but I'm proportional, meaning I'm not particularly skinny. So a girl my height who weighs 20 lbs. less would be swimming in my size XS scrubs. BUT- I also noticed that all brands of scrubs came in sizes up to 5XL. WTF?? Wouldn't you hope that people working in the health industry would take enough care of themselves to not be wearing a 5XL? Or even an XXL (women anyway) for that matter?? Just thought it was a bit of an oxy-moron.

Dear Fellow Females: when using a public bathroom, I know most of you are intensely paranoid of what you may pick up off the toilet seat (I know all of us other coffee shop patrons are just disgusting!), so you save your skin and hover when you go potty. Well, then, be a lady and wipe up your splashback because yes, you did splash on the seat. Some of us are too damn short to hover comfortably. As it is, my feet don't completely touch the floor when I sit, so the hover ain't happening. I have to sit. And if you did too, this wouldn't even be an issue. Plus, I understand basic biology and know that it would take some rather unscrupulous behavior on both yours and my parts (literally) to actually contaminate/be contaminated with something infectious. In short, if you must be a germophobe at least clean up after yourself. Thanks.

This is the first time EVER that my laptop has connected to the internet through ERC's wireless network. Usually I get an "IP conflict" error message. Today it connected all by itself. Nice.

All my lab finals are finished. One test and three regular finals to go (actually four; one final I have actually is two finals in one. Goody!).

Yup. Still need a job. But I guess for that to happen I need to submit applications. I was sick all last week, so I slept all my free time away. Next week after finals IT IS ON.

Well, my last attempt at closure/communication/whatever was ignored. Even though the other party was the one that wanted to discuss things further, they then dropped all communication. I guess that gets me off the hook on that one, and off the hook in general...

I'll be going to Cincinnati for Christmas this year, though I can't afford it. I just have to, since I didn't go last year. It's been two years since I've seen my family. It will be nice, but I'm sure they'll drive me insane. If anyone is going to be staying in Athens that week, I will need someone to check in on/feed/scoop up after my cats...

Time for band 'practice'. Which means meeting up at Cutters and 'practicing' drinking beer. Only for a little bit for me...more homework later, though I actually got a chunk done today. Go Me!
