It's the small things...

So, I got some sleep, and still felt a little off-kilter when I woke up on Monday. However, I think I just needed to get some (more) sleep, because I felt a lot better on Tuesday. I am weighing the pros and cons of each system for that Eberron game, and I'm asking my potential players for input as well.

In work-related news, I had to be at work at 3am, so that I could be done with all the morning bookwork by 6am, when workers were to begin ripping out one wall of accounting so that we could get our new safe. I got to skip my lunch (How could I go anywhere? We had a hole in Accounting. I was a guard! :)), and I left at 11am. I still ate lunch at McAllister's, though, and enjoyed a bacon spud. Still, it's been kinda nice, because of today's day off, I've had almost two days in a row. :)

I'm definitely more settled now at work than I was, and I am thrilled stupid about that. Again, as I am going to say every time until I get off my ass and do it, I still want to find another job. I figure if I keep bothering MYSELF about it every time I talk about liking the job, I might actually get around to following through. Still, I am not looking forward to tomorrow's 6am-3pm shift at work. I just don't want to get up that early right now.

Actually, I want to take a vacation. I am desperate for some time out of this city, away from the people I normally see. Since I've used all my vacation time for the year already (surgery in April), I would be willing to take the time off unpaid, if I could, just to go somewhere. My biggest problem? I don't know where I want to go. :-p "Away" is about the only thing I know for sure. I've been invited to go on a trip to New Orleans in September, but I worry that I could get the money together in time. :(

After taking a nap (I woke up too early, but stayed awake against my better judgment), I deep cleaned my bathroom, dusted and vacuumed my room, and got my laundry done. I feel rather accomplished, and look forward to sleeping in my clean bed. :)

I also spent part of today finalizing my "Metal Overload" iTunes playlist: 1100 metal songs, ranging from Black Sabbath and Judas Priest to Amon Amarth and the latest from Symphony X, with W.A.S.P., Morgenstern, Type O Negative, and KISS thrown in for good measure. It's not a "greatest hits". It's just "my favorite songs from what I call metal on my own iTunes, with some extras tossed in from hard rock". I'd love to post it, but 1) I don't think folks would want to see 1100 songs, 2) I don't know how to export it from iTunes except in tab-delimited text and XML, and 3) I don't think folks would want to see 1100 songs. :) Suffice to say, I'm going to spend a lot of time listening to this playlist.

Now, I need to get some sleep, or I'll be even crankier in the morning than I am now. But hey, at least my bed's clean!

What is it with people that work at Kroger and Metal music? Seriously, when I worked there that's pretty much all I wanted to listen to while in accounting (almost with pretty much everyone else that ever worked back there)....my good friend Robie (co-manager at a 468 here in Jackson) pretty much listens to metal all the time...AND then you make a metal list.

Hmmmm.....perhaps is has something to do with levels of frustration?? haha

Hahaha.. Touche. I cannot deny that it helps with the frustration, though in my defense I have been a non-stop metal fan since the late 80s (even through the 90s, when it wasn't cool to be a metal fan).

Still, there's something very relaxing, ironically, about listening to some loud, angry music after a day at work. :)

Yeah.. I would so NOT just fly out there, and appear on your doorstep. :) (Not the least of which is that I don't know the exact address. :))

But yeah.. CO's an idea, too. My only fear is that if I went there, I'd not wanna come back. :)

And.. YAY! for furniture. :)
