Two months :|

Uhm transplanted from my lj Aracale , which is updated almost daily:

Haven't posted a decent  post in a few days. I don't really feel arsed to do one now, but meh, stuffs been happening that I need to write down. Work has been exceeding all my expectations of awesomeness, last night I got my first kudos call, from a customer who started the conversation in one hell of a mood and a half. Over an hour and a half on that call, but I got the comp fixed I think. After my manager released that call, I checked one of my work emails ( i have two, one external and one internal) and I received my first survey results for a previous call. I got a 9/9. So, I'm doing something right. My handle time is right where they want it, although after last night, it's going to be pretty high, four calls, and I got VTO (voluntary time off) for most of my shift. Did I leave work *snorts* nope, I just wanted off the phone for a few hours. Still didn't get into the house before three am. I could have called my dad, but I didn't really want to. New training bin comes up tonight I think, which means both the potential for roaming or more vto. I don't know. I'd like to take VTO, but my headspace is weird right now.

I think it has something to do with the fact that this is a holiday, and I'm going to be working. I will get over that, I mean it's no big deal, but  I'm a bit sleepy, which isn't helping me, so yeah I just need to wake up and find my headspace and I'll be good, I think.

And speaking of being sleepy. I cut out caffine. As of Wednesday, I had my last can of coke. I haven't had any since, and it's catching up. I was fucking exhausted yesterday, and today, I'm wobbly, and sort of woozy eyed, but I'll make it. I'll take the calls, I'll fix people's computers, and I'll get paid to work on my cross stitching. Someone wants to buy the current piece I'm working on. It's a Butterfly with chinese characters around it. Very pretty. I bought it  a few weeks ago, and I'm working on the outter wings of the butterfly now. It's slow going, but I want to do a good job, especially where the guy is willing to pay money for it. :D

Sad news that I don't wish to dwell on:

My great aunt Mary is on life support. I just found out this morning. She's been sick for a while, or so I've heard. Her blood has been low, and they've been trying to give her transfusions to bring it up. The main fear so far has been leukimia if she doesn't bring her blood back up. But with her blood being so low her immune system has been fubar'd so she caught pnumonia. My grandfather is nervous, this is big sister.

On top of that news, a cousin of his in ON found out she has a mass in her abdomen. She only started feeling sick a few weeks ago. It's going so fast, they're just giving her pain killers, since it's spread everywhere.


Fandom, right now is where my head wishes to be (escapist? Moi?). I think I'm going to go make myself some brekky, and bury myself in fic so I don't have to deal with things. I blame one of the icons used to comment on my J2 fic, but it now has a sequel in the making. I've hit 1100 words on it, most of it written when [info]deliciouspear and I were gabbing on Friday. I tortured her with snippets. *ish evil* It's almost done, but I think it has potential to turn into a type of game between the two of them.

Annnnnd I feel like crap >.<! Between my tooth hurting like fuck (can't do anything till I'm on a plan at the end of november and then hoo boy, gimmie drugs, knock me out, and here's 1,500 dollars, fix what you can I'll be back in January with the more) Add that my sinuses are a little off, I'm coughing and for the first time in forever on a call last night, I almost threw up...

I haven't thrown up willingly or otherwise since my gallbladder surgery three years ago. I think my first thought after the surgery was 'thank fuck I never have to puke again'. Oh ho, not so, I just get the wonderful burning feeling and I started to choke. I mean, dear god I was on a call, I won't getting off the call just to go to the bathroom, nor was I putting him on hold. Anyway, I think I need breakfast now, because I feel that same feeling in my stomach again, and I want to make sure it's just I'm hungry feed me sick not something more >.<

because I haven't updated here in a while

I love these things... Share a few answers on your thoughts about me (and no need to be coy about things like my negative characteristics) If anyone puts this in their journal, I'll gladly reply to theirs as well. ;)

1. Who are you?

2. In one or two words, how would you define your relationship with me (or just how you know me)?

3. If you could give me one piece of advice, what would it be?

4. My three best and three worst characteristics?

5. What historical personality or mythological character do I resemble?

6. I should wear more (fill in the blank)...

7. My personality= earth, fire, air, or water? Why?

8. In your opinion, the ideal profession for me would be?

9. Memory of me that stands out?

10. If you didn't know anything about my religious beliefs, what religion (or spiritual path, etc. what have you) would you think I'd be?

11. Something random that reminds you of me?

12. If you had to give me a sobriquet, what would it be? (A sobriquet is a descriptive that follows someone's name, ex. Catherine the Great, Ivan the Terrible, Jess the Gypsy, Mary the Big-Bosomed, etc.)

13. Just knowing my personality, what subculture (if any) would you put me in?

14. If you had to plop me in a historical period, which one?

15. Animal I'd be and why?

16. Will you put this up in your journal to see what I say?

Ok so it's been... a month since I updated

at least here.

So an update of sorts.

Still crazy.

Have to retake directed study in September because of idiocy and miscommunication in the extreme.

Mythos has exploded in my head and is subsequently I'm seeping grey matter from my ears.

Writing wise, I'm slowly catching up where I'm needed.... I think.

Novel is sitting forlornly staring at me whimpering.... need impetus to begin writing it.

Still watching kids. They're tornadoes the both of them.
