Insensitivity.
[TWO WEEKS ago one of my co-workers died at work. He had worked here about a month. My boss was there to witness it. The guy who died has a sister who also works here, and she has not been to work since that point.]
Boss: You don't see me taking any time off, and I was there.
Fellow Employee: Yeah, I would be traumatized if I were you.
Boss: You know, I was really sad for a very, very long time, but you have to get over it.
[I can't help but wonder if my boss has ever had anyone close to her die very suddenly, and whether or not she realized there is a HUGE difference in the amount of time it takes for a person to get over the death of their brother, and the death of a co-worker.]
you only live once

will maybe turn into my default answer.
if that is in reference to your biology major, i agree with the sentiment, which is why i’m confused by the switch. i wasn’t aware you even LIKED biology.
edit: for the record, i’m not trying to NOT support you, i was just completely surprised to see that you changed your major to bio. seems like a complete change, and i...

nothing to look forward to.
No way.
Dexter.
Kristen gave me Dexter seasons 1-3 for Christmas.
I am now watching season 1. Very exciting!
Just got my nook
And I know most of my followers are anti-ebookers, but I need some book suggestions.
What are some good books?

My boss might hit on me all the time...
…but she gave me a $50 American Express gift card for Christmas, so I forgive her.
One of my coworkers I have never met died this...
His sister works here, too. He was 20 years old.
That makes me feel absolutely sick. I feel so bad about the whole situation.

Me: It's not even evening yet.
Tony: It's 3:30.

Yeah, I’m pretty psyched about it.

Grades are up.
I’m sure everyone will be happy to know I managed to keep my GPA above the scholarship cut-off, with two C’s, a C+, and a B. Very average grades, to be sure, but I’d like to see you do better without going to class for 98% of the semester and never really studying.

Productive day at work.
Finished with the semester. Hooray!
…but work fucking sucks.
This stupid girl calls in at 4 (I wasn’t here) to say that she is sitting in the dentist about to get some teeth pulled. She was supposed to be here at 5, and insisted she could still come in, just a little late. I waited around until 7 and called her. It seemed like she was sitting at home because she was saying she could come in if I needed her. I told...
I guess you would call this a productive day.

Walked to Guitar Emporium to buy banjo strings for my dad’s banjo that I’m borrowing. The guy asked me who my favorite banjo player was. I was stumped, and one of the other guys in the store suggested Steve Martin. Weird.
Steve Martin is probably the most well known banjo player. I mean, really, who else plays the banjo?
DEXTER!

My Boss
Today, when I came into work, my boss immediately completed me on how nice I look in my new shirt. I thought maybe she just liked the fact that I was wearing a shirt that was clean, but then she continued by telling me I clean up very nice, and that my eyes were a pretty color.
Later, she told me that all the girls were going to be all over me because of how good I looked, then, seemingly to...
Wikipedia Games
shlewkin:
I’ve done this before, but I’m doing it again. Going from one Wiki page to another, completely unrelated page, only by clicking through links within the article. Today’s Round: From Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s Wiki page (start here) to Wu Qi, a Chinese military leader and politician in the Warring States period. I’ll let you know how and when I get there. You try it, too.
Oh, and no...
I am awake
and have been for roughly 40ish hours. I just finished doing homework. On multiple occassions I began typing complete nonsense and literally had no idea what I was doing when I looked at it. I think I’m reaching that point where insanity is just around the corner. I’ve also thought all the leaves were bunnies, and I’ve been hearing random voice at times.
Yikes.

wrapped up in books; or why I don't want a kindle

bibliotheque:
I am terrified of the Kindle in the same way my boyfriend is scared of robots. I just don’t trust them. I always have this moment every now and then where I’m drawn in by how sleek and shiny it is, which is dangerous because this is how I ended up with an iPhone. I see them all over now, people using them at the library at school, in restaurants. I feel the weight of...
