Tiddly Bits...

Hey, hey, hey!

Who's up for some more thinking bits?!

- I've come to realize that I'll probably never stop watching cartoons. Aaaaand, I'm perfectly okay with it /grin

- I need to learn how to speak my mind a bit more freely. I've been bottling up things...and that's never good

- Listening to talk radio feels like a much more gratifying way to spend my driving time than listening to music...not that I'll ever completely cut music out of my drives, I just feel like I might actually learn something rather than just pass the time

- Heat + humidity = the worst combination possible

- Is it possible to somehow read books, watch movies, catch up on tv series, and play video games at the same time? I want to do all of these things. At once.

- I think that we need more stationery shops. I miss the ones like they had in Korea...everything was so cute! They even had scented pencil leads!

- Flying insects with stingers are the bane of my existence...they're right up there with everything that lives in the ocean.

- 'Shark Week' is a terrible, terrible week's worth of programming...I mean, have you ever seen a Megamouth shark? No? Google it real quick and you'll see why I'm cringing! [I'm sorry!]

I'm Still Here!

Hey guys!

It gets better...right? Right?!?

Seems that I've managed to take yet another unplanned hiatus from blogging...my apologies, and I hope that the last week has treated you well...

I survived yet another week's worth of an overwhelming workload.

I'll be the first to agree that it's better to be busy than bored...but being swamped for three weeks is ridiculous! As of now, I haven't been told that I need to work through the weekend...but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed. [Here's to hoping that it doesn't!]

Unfortunately, I don't have anything terribly exciting to post about at the moment.

/Squee!

When I haven't been glued to my work computer, I've been
catching up on the latest few episodes on Arrow and Supernatural...when I'm not watching either of those, I've found myself re-watching some episodes of Ouran...I don't usually go back and re-watch an anime once I've finished it, but I really like this one. I think that a big portion of it's appeal is that it's a funny anime rather than a dramatic or action-y one....most of the others that I've watched revolve around battles or missions of some sort...I like that there isn't some complicated story line to keep up with Ouran [well...aside from the gender-confusion around Haruhi, that is].

So, it seems that Ouran is going to be my go-to anime for a feel-good, relaxing evening...at least until I find another one that I like as much as I like Ouran...

/sigh

I've got some stuff to take care of [I've been procrastinating for far too long]...will post again soon!

Hibernation Sounds Like A Great Idea...

So jealous of Pooh right now...

I need someone to do me a favor...

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, please sedate me and wake me in January.

Thanks!

Where Are You Weekend? Why Can't I Find You??

I hope all of you guys are having a good weekend so far...

Nathan Fillion disapproves. 

I'm stuck catching up on some work. Doesn't everyone love to work on the weekends/holidays?

Our clients have this thing that they do...every time a holiday is around the corner, they flood our inboxes with tons and tons of orders. I know why they do it, they don't want to be stuck working a holiday weekend either, but gaaaaahhhhhh....

So, in an attempt to get everything finished and submitted before Christmas Eve, I've been working extra hours everyday this past week...and I'm sitting at my work computer on my precious Saturday. /pout

It would be one thing if our clients acted as if they understood that we appraisers want Christmas off just as badly as they do...but nooooooo. They'll slam us full of orders on the 23rd and then start demanding the finished result on the 26th. No little Holiday Bonus incentives at all...and they're certainly not shy about being demanding trolls, clamoring that they must have reports the day after Christmas...knowing that they're probably nursing their own holiday hangovers. /grumble /grumble /grumble

Thought, I guess I can't entirely complain. I do have the luxury of working while wearing my amazing panda kigurumi! If I'm not out inspecting properties and dealing with clients face-to-face, the panda pjs are on...I figure it's only fair. If I'm going to have to be stuck staring at a computer screen for work on an 'off' day, at least I can wear my panda kigu. [/chuckle I swear I'm a mostly-responsible adult...]

In other news...I think I'm starting to get sick. [It's taken me a ridiculously long time to write out this post...I've been typing snippets in between working on building reports...probably not the most efficient methods for completing either. /shrug...

Yep. From the time I started this post to now, I've began feeling like poo...

It's just not fair...sick and stuck working. Boo.

The only thing worse than having extra work on a weekend? Having to trudge through said extra work while feeling like poo!!!

If someone felt inclined to come to my rescue today, I wouldn't be entirely opposed to the idea...any takers?

Stupid Monkeys....

Sunday greetings to you all! I hope you're all having a great day so far...

I'm sitting at home with my kiddo debating on when to leave to go help one of my best friends with moving/getting situated at his new apartment. He's been moving all weekend, and I'm really hoping that he gets everything all wrapped up either today or tomorrow...moving sucks. Even more so when people that have given you a verbal commitment to help back out of said commitment and leave you hanging...[that's what's happened to my buddy...and it isn't the first time either...I think I'm going to have to strongly suggest to him to make better friends...] 

Monkeys Are Creepy.../shudder

How does that saying go? "Not my circus, not my monkeys" or something like that. I'm not crazy about the idea of going to help, but I talked to him earlier today and he sounded quite distraught about the whole ordeal...soooo, SuperTammy to the rescue! Again. 

This leads me to another concept that I find simply baffling. 

Why is it that so many people seem to be alright with the notion of being un-dependable? This issue is just the tip of the proverbial 'why people suck' iceberg...but, c'mon. If you tell someone that you're going to help with something, then do so! It seems like there are fewer and fewer reliable people...

/siiiiiiiiigh...okay, I've got to get myself and my kiddo ready to go help out...more posts to come later...

Tired and Haircuts...

/Yawn

I'm awake! I swear! zzzZZZzzz

I have no idea why, but I woke up absolutely exhausted this morning...I need to find some caffeine!

Don't you just love these kinds of mornings?

I went to bed at a 'reasonable time,' had what should have been a restful night of sleep, and then wake up feeling worse than I did before I went to bed in the first place! /Sigh

It probably doesn't help that I've had an incredibly busy work week. Seems like the appraisal business is constantly in some sort of up/down cycle...the last week and a half or so were very slow, and now we've got so much work that it's overwhelming. Oh well, better to be busy than bored, right?

Elsewhere in Gotham City...

I got my hair cut yesterday. [Note the impressive lack of enthusiasm!]

At the last minute, I chickened out and decided to get my hair cut into a short bob rather than a pixie cut. I showed the lady cutting my hair several different pictures of what I'd like, one of which was this adorable little blonde cut on Chelsea Staub...

Well...the cut I ended up with looks nothing like the picture. Nothing.




Yeah, this little gem on the right is much closer to the haircut that I ended up with.

Okay, I might be exaggerating...but only just a little.

I hate it.

And I'm not really sure what ended up happening either! But I'm going to give it a few days...see if I can make the new cut at least tolerable by styling it a few different ways, or something...but if not, then I'll go back and have the rest of my hair cut off into a pixie cut after all...

I don't think I'd mind it. And maybe that's why I hate this current cut so much, because I know I'd rather have it shorter...

Meh. Whatever...it's just hair, right?
