Arrr, ye salty Mozart

1. I am testing the BPAL scents that [livejournal.com profile] chimerakitty sent me. I am fully multi-flavoured. At the moment Cerberus is the winner (mmm, chocolatey), but it seems to be a very changeable scent, so we'll see.

2. I had TWO packages in the mail today - my dvds from Amazon (Lost and Undeclared) and a "strikes suck" care package from [livejournal.com profile] canirl, with tea, chocolate, jewellery and a book. Awesome. I bet you wish you were locked out right now, too. (Or not.)

3. Of my two current jobs, working with [livejournal.com profile] mystery_diva definitely wins, even though printers are EVIL and must die. I can say this with authority since I've spent most of my time there printing pamphlets out. My other job is fine, but I'm not a fan of working 12-8. It kind of feels like winter already (other than the fact that it was so hot and gross out all this week) because it's dark when I leave work.

4. This is the first time I've been home alone for any length of time in a while. I should be doing laundry or cleaning the bathroom. As you can see, I'm not.

5. Did I mention that I met [livejournal.com profile] sarcasma and [livejournal.com profile] sanity_clause's wee kittens? They are adorable, and almost got distracted enough by the toys to not run in fear of my feet. So sweet.

6. I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I'm far too conditioned to having weekends off. And, in fact, to working only five days a week.

7. Now Cerberus smells like fruit, or candy, or something. Still nice, though.

8. I haven't talked about books in aeons, and I have a huge long list. The one thing I can say about walking the picket line is that it gives me lots of time to read, especially since I have mapped the path and no longer trip over the fire hydrant. I still don't recommend it, though.

9. Two weeks to Serenity! Eeeee!

10. I started looking at flights home for Christmas and then I realized that I don't even know what's going to be happening then. Maybe we'll still be locked out. But I have to wait in any case, because if I am back at work I have to put in for my vacation time. Of course, I can't do that until we go back to work. It's very complicated! I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter much, though - all the airlines are the same price, and think the days of sales for buying early are over. God, why is it so expensive to fly across Canada?

11. I would like an egg salad sandwich for dinner. Sadly, I have no eggs and no bread, so that's not going to happen.

12. I had grand plans to enjoy my evening off, but I'm already falling asleep. Damn. Sweet dreams, y'all.

Hi.

Betsy must die indeed

(Betsy is what we have often called the printer, because she is a stupid cow of a machine) I really kind of want the old one back, because it did things right. I know the current one has prettier colours.....but it also doesn't seem to do anything right (at least not on the first try) Between that and trying to make labels happen on the other one.....gah :) (omg is that the nerdiest talk ever or what?)

Yay...I'm glad you don't hate it.

I don't know when you'll get it, but I did send you some impies too. :)

Woo!

Oh cool, I'm so pleased you got it! :)

Also, mee too on the falling asleep. Although I have a legit excuse, having flown 4 gazillion miles in the last 10 days.

zzzzzz...

I know the feeling! I work 12-9 and not only does the fact that it's entirely dark when I leave mess with my head, the difference in temperature is becoming more noticeable -- arriving at noon when it's just BARELY too warm for a sweater and leaving at nine when I wish I had my denim jacket with me.
