Been gone for forever. Going to be getting back. Four million bits of news. No time to disclose them right now with the attention they deserve, so just settling for "I'm Back, lots of news, will update for reals later."
Love you guys.
Got to get to work now. |

Been back online for a while, and somehow totally managed to forget I had a livejournal. Or something. Ok, that's funny. Livejournal's spellcheck doesn't like livejournal as a word. Er, anyway. Here's a pointless meme to distract you from the fact that I've been gone!
( ABC's Meme )
Also, I'm working on getting drunk right now. I shouldn't, but I'm doin' it. |

| Wow... just... wow... |

So... yeah...
I was struck today with one of those moments today where I was totally and completely grateful to have the mother that I have.
Ok, I admit. Usually there's a reason for even a "good kid" to come to a moment like that outside of a crisis. There was no crisis - well, not for me.
See, let me explain this by contrast. My mother? When I called this morning to tell her that (owing to the hello!lots of snow) I didn't think I'd be making it to my Dr.'s appointment today? Said something along the lines of "Oh, good. I was going to call you later and tell you that you probably weren't going."
My best friend's girlfriend? Her mother? Ok, granted, when she decided that the roads were too bad to drive all the way to BGSU (this is before she found out her classes were, in fact, canceled for today), she came here instead of going home. Now, a part of that is that to get here she drove back over much better roads than she would've going back to her house. And to be fair, she didn't tell her mom that she came here instead of heading to BG.
But her mom? Yeah. Still snowing like all hell, their road is Very Nasty in when there's snow, the county is UNDER A LEVEL TWO SNOW EMERGENCY. And her mom? "Drive home. Right now. This second. You had damn well better be in that house by two o'clock." And so on and so forth.
So, basically, being In Control of her adult daughter's life (the car is not in the mother's name, btw) takes precidence OVER HER OWN CHILD'S SAFETY.
None of us can understand this. I'm just glad she didn't get in an accident on the way home... *sigh* |

At this point, I'm going to shrug and say, "let it snow... I guess."
I've already had to reschedule my Dr.'s appointment. If it keeps up, they may cancel 'medic class for tonight. And I don't have to be to work until 1500 tomorrow.
On the other hand, I am wondering where the hell super!snowy winter like this one was when I was a kid and could've properly enjoyed it. *pouts* |

So, I've held you guys in suspense long enough... (although, I'll be in suspense for a bit longer)
I had an Interview this morning with North Central EMS.
The actual Interview went fairly well. In fact, I was given the impression that, if the checks and whatnot go ok, I have a very good chance of getting the job.
Trouble is, I'm worried about my driving record check. I know my record isn't spotless, and I'm not sure how many points I have at the moment. I tried to get on the BMV website and check, but it's not working at the moment (big surprise, eh?)... *sigh*
So the big thing to screw me over is likely going to be a stray speeding ticket. Way to go, leadfoot.
Anyway, that's the sooper sekrit mission. :-) I should know one way or another within a week or two. Hopefully.
Fun part was that the station I was interviewed at is the one that one of my classmates runs at. And he was on shift today. So imagine his surprise when I ran into him in the hallway. Heh. Hi Jerry! |

Ok, first off, tomorrow morning is my sooper sekrit mission. Don't you wish you knew?
Second: Why didn't I know there's a Rufus Wainwright song called "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk"? Dude! I may have a new favorite song!
Third: I am evidently a weeeeeee bit MANIC today. Uhm, yaye?
Fourth: Uh... I forget fourth.
Fifth: It is really REALLY FREAKIN' COLD right now.
Sixth: I finally got a haircut today (thanks Mom!) - it's been, like, since October? It was starting to look like I was trying to grow it out. I swear you could've knit one of those annoying purse-dogs from the volume of hair that was cut from my head. I look like the way I think of me again! (Which, granted, with the hair farther away from my face emphasizes that I need to lose some weight again - I'm up to a bit over 100 kilos. You can do that conversion yourself, it's actually very easy once you have the formula in your head.)
Seventh: I feel like I'm doing a survey. Does it look like I'm doing a survey?
Eighth: I am not Henry the VII, I am not.
Ninth: Baseball, anyone?
Tenth: Ok, now I'm just being silly. And I can't remember what the other thing was I was going to say, so, er, yeah. Entry over. *nodnod* |

So. Yeah. Having the worst couple of weeks I've had in a while. Let's see... it started about a week and a half ago, when we went down to the car to go to work, and the back right tire was completely down. *sigh* Mind you, I desperately need new tires, but affording them? Yeah. So we didn't end up getting to work... we spent the entire evening getting two new tires put on the car, because there was a hella long wait at Wal-Mart. And we spent like $170 we didn't have. I still need two more new tires before winter.
Next... hmm... well I spent another three hundred of our dollars-we-don't-exactly-have... just to find out the Vet doesn't know what's wrong with Dragon. He said he'd "look into some things." Oh, and two of the tests they did? Their equipment is screwed up, so they had to send out to get them done, so who knows when I'll find out anything else.
Broke a half-shaft on the car. So that was a full allotment of unfun, capped off with spending another two-twenty-something that we didn't have to fix the car. Some more.
Liss and I both got demoted. The closest he came to giving either of us a reason was that "I did not see enough of you... I cannot judge what I cannot see." Oh, and after the few remaining times they couldn't rearrange this month's schedule to get us out of it? We're not "allowed" to work EMT shifts anymore. "You were hired as lifeguards, and that is where we need you." Uhm, completely setting aside the fact that we were working full-time guard, and by-and-large our EMT shifts were in addition to those, often with one or the other of us working at least one double a weekend?
We have applications in at North Central EMS. Second we get hired somewhere else, we're gone. And I'm not sure, but I don't think either one of us is even going to give notice at this point...
Oh, yeah, I'm sick. Been puking and running a temp of around 100.2 off-and-on for days now.
I'm also drowning mentally/emotionally right now. Class + trying-to-switch-jobs-because-this-one-am-become-hell + trying-to-find-a-new-apartment...
I totally spend most of my time wanting to cry. I just can't take this. It's too much, too much stress, too much bad luck all at the same time.
As usual I have nothing and no-one. |

I had a good - very strangely nostalgic - but basically good day.
I am hypomanic wired.
I know (now, finally) that my txts were not answered because my sis did not have her phone with her.
And all of a sudden I am feeling very alone, and nostalgic, and small, and almost afraid, and sad.
Still hypomanic, I won't be sleeping anytime soon so it's fine I just started the laundry, wired.
But all that other stuff as well. And to-the-quick, hardcore feeling it.
Imma go have a smoke sitting on the roof. Or two. Or five.
And then maybe sit in the closet for a while.
It would be bad for me to drink right now, so despite the fact that I don't have to be to work until 3, I'm going to try very hard not to do that.
And I kinda want to cry. |

Day off tomorry.
Nobody to play with.
(KT is off along with us, which means the Lissinator will be spending the whole day with her, just them two. Which I can obviously respect. But leaves me nobody to play with.)
Le sigh.
The Park or Soak City would not really be nearly as much fun by myself.
And I can't think of anything else to do - I have, like 3 dollars to my name until pay comes in on Wednesday.
Damnit.
And besides that, I haven't gotten to see KT for more than five minutes at a time in, like, weeks. |

| Oh dear. It's the upswing... |

| [ | mood |
| |  somewhat manic | ] |
So. I'm probably (read that as almost certainly) hypomanic right now - may be headed towards a full mania (always hard to tell with me how hard I'm gearing up, especially when I'm exhausted at the same time).
Head buzzing. Was so wired when I got home from work last night I stayed up until about two-thirty (very rare for me these days), initially got up at about 6/6:30 but managed to force myself to stay in bed drifting in and out of uneasy sleep until 10ish. Having small difficulty sitting still some of the time, although tiredness is helping with that. Smoking waaaaaaay too much (and by that I mean more than the "smoking too much" I've fallen into the last week or so). Could not focus on playing a video game this morning. On the other hand, I'm not having the impulse to pace, exactly. Although I feel the need to attach a "yet" to that preceding sentence. Having general difficulty focusing, et al.
I blame... being promoted.
No, really, it makes sense - hear me out:
My sleep schedule is a little bit more out of whack than it was getting (and it was getting out of whack anyway, so I can't entirely blame work, I concede.) My eating schedule is way rearranged. And I'm running around like a rabid little weasel, expending ever so much more energy than I've been accustomed to in recent months. All possible/likely "triggers."
Here's hoping I stay in the hypo- variety of mania... it makes the crash ever so much softer. And (though so very unlikely) sometimes absent. |

|
| Uhm, whee?!? |
[Jun. 19th, 2008|07:00 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| | exhausted | ] |
So today I got promoted. Or, rather, today was my first day as a Head Guard. Or maybe it was today, since I think today was the official date on the paperwork. So Yaye! Except OMG so tired now. It's been, I rather think, months since the last time I spent a whole shift running a zone. Or any time at all, really.
Mind you, that doesn't diminish the "It's about time!"-ness of it all. (Quite the contrary, actually, as you probably can well imagine.)
Just, much with the hot, and the tired. Don't think I'm crabby, though.
And there needs to be less under-agers. Srrrrsly. Threw off my break-giving-stride.
Of course part of my zone decided it wanted to be a bitch. Old Flowrider (which is back now, uhm booyah), to be precise. My first pair of knuckleheads decided to get into a huge argument and shut themselves down. My replacement pair of knuckleheads decided to not come back from break until double-or-so a break interval had gone by. And the attraction itself spent a bit of time taking itself down. Grrrrr.
I might've known the tone the day would have when the first item on my walkthrough wasn't up to par. But whatever.
The important thing is that I gots me my blue shirt now.
And a headache. :-/ |

Today is CP. Possibly followed by drinking.
Speaking of drinking?
Talcott! (And anyone else who likes beer) - Have you tried Landshark Lager yet? OMG the goodness! |

Ok, any of ya'll ever read Twilight?
Somebody's got to have, it's coming out as a movie soon.
Anyway, it's the first book in a series of young adult novels.
And Oh. My. Gawd. Cannot stop reading. Only stopped last night because I fell asleep on top of the book itself.
I keep telling myself "At least it's a vampire story."
I refuse to explain why.
But... dude...
Just... yeah...
Giddy! |
