  Welcome to the land of physical and financial distress!!! Yugga. No work for me today, at least not yet. I knew that the job isn't always consistant with work, but i didn't expect to not work for a week, after not being able to work much for two. It's more pissy timing rather than the company's fault, though. If i had a better pay this week, i wouldn't be whining.
Also, when they say 'rush project' i really should just stay in the house and code it right away, instead of waiting til the next. I was feeling semi-ok yesterday, so i did errands, then went to bed really early to get a good start on the project today, and, well, damn, i was too slow, and it was already coded.
Bloody hell. Kurt is finished his term, and his year, and there is much rejoicing. Now, i expect the weather to co-operate, and give me summer promptly. None of this shilly-shallying between seasons. I want heat, and sun, and i want it now. pet peeves (listed in no particular order): 1) doing dishes 2) pop-up ads 3) misuse of certain words, namely the word 'unique' 4) the sound of the fridge in this apartment 5) commercials.
those damn things are at the movies. I'm sure there are more. Now, to offset, here are a few of my favorite things: 1) Kool-Aid, particularily the blue stuff 2) the woods 3) Beaches 4) chili lights 5) animals Speaking of animals, Kurt and i were at the pet shop looking at beasts, and picking up a knuckle of some kind of creature that Lucas appreciates greatly. While there, i was looking at a pair of gigantic rats - siamese rats, evidently. The man of the store came over, and took one out for me.
Now, rodents don't freak me out, but their orange teeth scare me, and i haven't seriously ever thought of picking one up. I'm glad the guy handed one over to me, because i fell in love. This little creature snuffled happily in my ear, sat on my shoulder, and reached out her little hands to touch my face. It was improbably friendly, and affectionate, and smart, as well. Amazing. The rat was soft, and liked to be stroked, and well, I've always found rat's tails to be asthetically unappealing, but the tail felt really nice too. I'd love to get one, but i do worry that phoebe is a little to feral to accept a rat as part of the family. I suppose i'm going to have to do some research on the subject, just in case. Kurt wants to get one, and name it Scabbers, of course.
