What are you thinking? 9.0

My boss looked at my payroll and said I was working too much and that she wasn't going to let me overbook myself anymore. lol. I guess it's probably a good thing, gives me some time to work on other goals.

[King Malachite]

This one astounds me, every time it happens to me. But it means you're doing something very right, and the boss sees that. Keep up the good work, Malachite.

Thanks.    I don't think I'm doing most of the stuff right, but enough to get by, lol.  She hasn't even seen our boss.  He's so lazy, haha.

I think my hornet friends are too big to skinny through the gaps in my windows like their forebears, the honeybees who used to live in the wall, but I closed all the windows anyway when I heard them a couple nights in a row trying to bash their way in.

Last weekend I stuck my head up in the little attic space over my bed to see what was leaking rotten black ooze through the trapdoor crack and onto my nightstand, and lo and behold a hornet's nest three feet in diameter, right up close and personal.  That's something for striking the fear into my heart.  The trapdoor fits too tight for the bastards to get down to me, and it's rapidly getting cold now.  So once the willies wore off I'm not sweating it.  It is annoying that the nest is dripping black muck that leaks through and lands two feet from my head at night.  But at least they didn't build over the other side of the trapdoor, or it'd be right on my pillow.

[Bombadil]

oh man liam you just gave me a serious case of the willies. the only animal that gives me the creeps is hornets/wasps/etc

i played tug-of-war with the motley mutt. It's been at least 4.5 weeks. I  know I haven't done it since I broke my finger. I have a bad feeling it's been longer. We both have a blast so I should do it more. I think I have been  a bit consumed with transition stuff and this summer was so wicked hot. heh, I think my left arm is going to be sore tomorrow since I couldn't use my right at all.. I am getting stronger though, I was whipping him around pretty good.

speaking of my finger... mostly good news lately. no surgery needed and better flexibility that would be expected at this point. it's more swollen than they would like though and she said probably another 6 weeks of OT. sheesh. so is that 6 weeks before I can lift weights? I really hope not.

I'm thinking about the power and invisibility of being a white male american, and feeling bad that I don't know how to turn that amazing luck into more success with the things I care about. I feel like I can't even hold a conversation with most people unless I work to keep up with Rihanna or Game of Thrones or whatever. Not that I don't love my cultural walled garden and easy privilege. I do. I just wish it didn't feel so hard to have such an easy life.

Some of the music that comes on is bad for the radio

[Bombadil]

thinking about taking special needs pup to the dog park. the weather isn't great so it shouldn't be too crowded

[LordKAT]

but I don't want to go to work. I have work at home to do. Winter is coming and I don't even have storm windows.

Sitting at a neighborhood cookout, watching 5 young girls play across the way and wishing that I could have had those experiences.

Driving makes me angry. You have to focus on the road to ensure you don't kill anyone, and then they put these freaking playground zone signs amongst the trees, nearly near someone's lawn, like how in the world are you meant to see that?

As far as I'm concerned if a kid is dumb enough to run out into the street, it's probably natural selection at work. My mom never hid anything from us, never baby proofed our house, she knew we weren't stupid enough to run where the cars drive or eat stuff that we didn't know for sure was food.

[Bombadil]

where did all my motivation go?

[Jaime R D]

where did all my motivation go?

I'm guessing it ran out in the road playing and Caleb ran over it....

Making a sweater while watching Supernatural, as is my tradition apparently.  This is what I did last fall, too.  Supernatural is my favorite show in the world.  I like to start at season four and go to the end, then loop back around for the first three seasons.  I think it plays extremely well that way.  I think it's a great one for analyzing, because the characters are dynamic and interesting, and the plot and the universe are so huge and complicated.  That also makes it perfect for re-watching, because everything makes more sense the second-plus time around, when you have more information to go at it with. 

[LordKAT]

My thoughts are pretty petty.  Deep thinking isn't my strong suit perhaps.

[Tossu-sama]

How on earth am I supposed to trim one bush in our backyard so that it doesn't cover the top of the fence - since apparently we're gonna have some painters to re-paint the fences - when it's raining like heck???

Well, of course I could just ignore the rain and do it anyway but... UGH.
Also, I'm pretty sure I can't even reach the top of the bush.

[Blue Senpai]

I wish my parents would shut their trap and stop saying that I do nothing in this house. Even when I clean my room, wash the dishes and do the laundry. I wonder how patient I'm going to be on T...

[Tossu-sama]

Well.
The rain subsided for a bit so I decided to take an advantage of it. Too bad the sky opened up again in the middle of everything.

I escaped the situation with my socks being the only dry clothing. Yes, even my underwear got wet.

such a newbie. Hahaha

Seriously though, my nephew tries to push his sister into traffic. Its a good thing my Son is there to catch her and save her. So it isn't always natural selection.

when you drive big rig, let me know. People are 99% buttholes to truck drivers so its a game of patience. Unless you drive dump truck. Then you're a menace :p
I'm thinking of giving up on becoming a VFX artist. I can make a decent amount of bank driving truck and I will eventually have child support to pay. So,  since I wont have any reason to have my own place, I can live rent free in my truck. I had a boyfriend I had wanted to be with, but, such is life.

[ImagineKate]

Thinking today:

Gotta finish brake work on the daily driver

Gotta have money left over for gas and bills this week

Driving? The car/Van/truck is an extension of me. I've driven over 400k miles in my 18 years of being a licensed driver.

Gotta watch out for the cops though. They are everywhere

[Adam (birkin)]

One of my clients was borderline violent with me the other day...and today he's being...Nice. Like an absolute angel. I feel really endeared to him when he acts this way. But WHY? I'm not even joking, this is so unlike him that I'm actually scared he's plotting to shank me in my sleep.
