impy*hums* GUYS. Guess who got a comment on one of their reviews from the author in question? This chick, that's who.
Eeeee!
Tomorrow my Amazon package should arrive. Which... probably won't help you if you're avoiding the song of the day from me. :P But you'll deal. I think. Probably? You will. It's true. Much like I will one day get over the fact that I have no one to squee with, so... y'know. Stuff.
What else?
Oh, work was robbed on Sunday! I wasn't there, obviously, since Sunday is one of my days off. When I found out about it yesterday, I might've cackled once I realized everyone was okay. Why? Because we switched security guards because of safety concerns (as in people didn't necessarily feel safe with the two we had. I personally felt safe enough with the one who napped because anyone who dismisses being shot as "not a big deal" is obviously the person you want between you and a gun, k?) and a little over a week later we get robbed for the first time in years. Dying here. I'm dying on the inside from the irony levels.
I was apparently just so hopped up on that little bit that I looked up ExR a few minutes ago. (I know.) I don't know why other than yesterday's look back and an upcoming one had me thinking. Only I was flipping through Cass's list of FB friends and saw a few I used to know and figured out that the guy FB keeps saying "you might know" is not the guy I thought it was. Who knew there were so many Aarons? Then I saw the ex and curiosity obviously got the better of me. It wasn't super planned but once I get an idea, it takes a lot of work for me to not follow through if there's little work involved in actually executing the plan. Which is why I try not to think of things impulsively because I lack anyone capable of talking me out of stuff.
Anyway. Looked him up for about thirty seconds. At second thirty one I think I found his new girlfriend. And for all of five seconds I debated not clicking. And then I did. Like I said, impulse control is not my strong suit, k?
It's funny that the only bitter thought that came up was the hope, oddly sincere, that he wasn't screwing with her the way he did me at the end. At least I hope (for me) that it was just the end. But that aside, it wasn't a big thing, and let me assure you that I am pretty good at bitter. So I'm going to mark this down as growing up and a good sign in all things. If you find yourself cheering on someone who essentially took your place, things can't all be all that bad, right?
*muse* Dude has a type though.
Now, to find someone who thinks I'm pretty awesome and that I feel the same way about. That'd be fun.
Just in case you think I might be too happy despite any number of reasons to not be, my right wrist is trying to kill me. I've no idea what I did nor do I know how to fix it. It's not fun.
Still, all in all I'm sittin' pretty. Anyone want to join me? Or maybe write me a story to read when I'm at work or get home from work? That'd be the most awesome thing ever. I've got cookies.
Eeeee!

Date: 2013-04-10 09:58 pm (UTC)I'm sooooo glad you weren't at work on that day! I can't even imagine being in that situation!! And holy crap, celeb-recognition!! That's beyond awesome! Congrats!
Are stories desired fictional or trufax, yo? Since I have e-mail block I can transcribe parts of those updates here instead. ;D

Date: 2013-04-10 10:13 pm (UTC)Being robbed is not high on my list of things to repeat, but at least in this case they robbed pharmacy (that sounds bad) and no weapons were shown, just implied. I wonder if they caught the guy. Who wears an orange shirt to rob someplace?
I'm still giddy at the MJD notice. :D
And any and all stories are welcome!

Date: 2013-04-10 10:43 pm (UTC)Let's see, I'm terrible at fiction (NaNoWriMo, anyone?), but if you're just looking for reading, I can catch you up on stuff!
Got a car! On Friday, Deanne and I went to a couple lots, the first no one met us and they'd already put up the convertible I've been eyeing every day even though they didn't close for another hour. Next one is a ganky lot with no website, yet selling $17,000 Mercedes. :/ The guy at the biggest dealer was a complete and total jackass and didn't even attempt to sell us anything and sealed the fate on me never buying ANYTHING from them ever.
But Mom and I went out on Saturday and I ended up with a 2011 Nissan Sentra. Way more than I wanted to spend, not a super exciting color (though better than the white and beige thing he showed me first D:), not a convertible, but hey dependable and sensible and all that, right? The people kept congratulating me and telling me to cheer up, but I was perfectly happy NOT having car payments prior to this. :( But I'm still driving my Geo Prizm, much to everyone's chagrin because I was traumatized by the Brave Little Toaster and Velvatine Rabbit. Yup.
But I'm going to turn it over to the insurance agency if we can ever figure this shit out and the gas tank is on empty and I'm hoping to god I can make it home on the fumes since there's no point in re-fueling it, but I still drove it back to work at lunch. *Fingers crossed* So this will be my last drive in my little Geo Prizm. :*(
No more notes from animal control, but I still sneak around my property like I'm some kind of thief to put food out in the shed or give them some wet food, worrying about who's watching me and which ones did it and are they going to call again? Sigh. And the city council is having a meeting tomorrow night to change the city code to even more retarded restrictions that hurt the good people and do absolutely nothing to the bad.
Delayed going to the radio this morning, but STILL ended up with the mayor for a few minutes. Haaate it!! He needs to get a new time slot! I've had this one for 7 years so I get first dibs!
We have a reference meeting tomorrow. My absolute least favorite thing. One-on-one time with the Boss Lady and we all get in passive-aggressive trouble and even when I'm not the bad one, she stares at me while she does the scolding. And shit I was supposed to do from last meeting, I didn't do. And most of the topics seem like they'll directly fall on my head despite me not actually being much in charge. HAAATE THESE!!
And the 10 million whining children in the library are about to drive me insane.
Found a dating site called Geek 2 Geek, but I can't think of profile information to put up. I've just been so blah these days. Not interested in anything. That probably means I'm depressed. But I don't want to be! But I just can't get excited about things the way I used to. So I can't think of anything interesting to write about without it being stuff that would totally scare off any potential guys. But I've got some interest on Match.com that they won't let me view without subscribing, but with the looming car payments, I'm trying to save every little bit I can. So I don't know if I should throw out the money on the chance that those are promising because...well most of them aren't. So yeah, awesome menfolk totally need to get on board with how awesome we are!
Almost ready for National Library Week? I think? Worried about setting up both contests Monday morning and running out of time. But Boss Lady is gone Wed-Friday for NMLA and I am sooo looking forward to that reprieve!!

Date: 2013-04-11 12:32 am (UTC)I am extraordinarily good at just moving the fuck on from the past because I've been burned way too many times by looking back. It's hard, but I am attempting to embrace my single-ness. My hatred for living here, in the situation that I do, is not exactly making me long to settle down and make it permanent, you know? It would be nice to have a companion, but for now, I'm content with the voices in my head, so to speak :P
