Thoughts and reflections,,,
*shrug* I wanted a catchy title. I got it. Now, about where I've been:
This week has been busy for me. I've bought most of the materials to put up my shelves around my ceiling. I bought a white five-blade ceiling fan, complete with light kit. I even installed it. Given that I know nothing about electrical work, this is rather impressive. Of course, my dad supervised, so that helped. Today, the air conditioner I ordered for my room came in, so I spent this afternoon installing that. It's in my window now, and looks lovely, although it's now too cold outside to test the cooling feature. *snicker* That's how life works, though. At least I have everything ready for that first 80 degree day. (I HATE sweating. Period. I hate extreme cold, but nothing like I hate heat.*
Work has been pretty crappy all week. I was told, once again, that someone has to be picked to be my backup on Sunday, so that I can have a Sunday off from time to time, so that I can go on vacation, and (get this) so that they can schedule me to do other things!? Am I paranoid, or does it sound like I would probably never see a Sunday morning ever again:? I mentioned this to Joyce. I even said that I was probably just being silly because it would be changing up my routine. Her response? "Lindley's been shaking up everyone who has a set schedule." I commented on that regarding the fact that no one else can do what I'm doing right now (open the accounting office). She then told me that I had it pretty "cushy" as far as schedules. Cushy?! What?! It may not be ass-poundingly busy like it gets at night, but my shifts are rarely cushy. I am going from one thing right on to the next. I take my lunch around 10am, but that's in part because I don't have time to slow down until then. Fine. Whatever. Be that way.
I was talking to Kevin tonight, and I learned something shocking: I've been asked to be his Best Man. I'm going to be the one who throws the bachelor party. I get to give a bloody speech at the reception. I get to do who knows what else. Neat. As they say: Power Corrupts. Absolute Power is kinda neat. :) Oh, and I get to wear a tux again. I suppose I'll also want a costume for later. (Assuming I don't feel like I'm violating the holiday by parading around in one.)
Finally, for those not on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
oceanborn. the Nightwish LJ community: Nightwish is coming to America (specifically, Atlanta, GA) this September!!! YES!!!! Now, I have one problem. I have no one to go with me, and on a trip like that, I'd like some company, since I'm a coward to drive that far on my own. Secret Sphere, Symphony X, and Circle II Circle are playing, too. This will be so cool.
Anyone want to carpool? *smile*
That more or less catches everyone up on my life so far this week. I'm sure that if I had typed it up while it happened, I'd have had more to say, but I was beat. So, live with it. :)

I DESPISE the heat. I really do. Anything ovwer 75 degrees farenheit is far too warm for me and I refuse to go out in it a lot of the times, and if I do, I tend to bitch about it incessantly. I have friends that can vouch for me on this. I can't stand it.
COLD, on the other hand... I love. Not necessarily the kind of cold we get up here sometimes, the 0 degrees with a -15 degree wind chill... But I'd take it over the hot hot sun any day. I'm not particularly fond of cold wind, though, as I have asthma and it tends to beat my lungs up to the point where I can't breathe at all.
As for the Nightwish thing... Only Atlanta? :( No way in hell my parents'll let me go down there for a concert... Meh. I shall have to hold out for a New York show! However long I have to wait. It's all good. I can wait!
