violent mood swings/shitty attitudes do not a good memorial day make...just saying....
actually, my day was pretty sweet. i went to my parents on sunday so when i woke up this morning, i just sort of chilled with my mom and dad. i ended up missing out on plans with two of my friends who still live in the county of knox which sucked. i came back to columbus for a bike polo bbq extravaganza.......so i did some quailty biking and drinking of 40s and what not. ....... on the way to the polo courts i popped a tube which ended up being a topic of much drama and such, but i guess it's alright now....i mean, it got changed and i got back to where i needed to go and i'm not sleeping in the park tonight.

oh my goodness, i am wicked tired!!!!
scene: mike davis's college graduation party
location: lynchburg, va
none of you probably know mike davis, so the name alone doesn't strike fear into your hearts or make you understand the epic state of my exhaustion any better. 90% of the time, mike davis is a fully functional member of society. he has a respectable job working at a respritory therapist at the uva hopsital. it's the other 10% that is troublesome. mike davis is a semi-professional drinker. about a month ago, he came to columbus, spent nearly $1000 in drinks on all of us in a week and then left everyone in a cloud of dust, with massive liver damage.
since he comes here and treats us all so well, ryan and i decided we would venture down to his party.
we left on friday night at about 6:00. after encountering torrential rains and nasty traffic in west virginia, as well as the worst ihop experience of our lives, we finally made it to the davis' residence at around 4:00am. lame.
there wasn't a lot of room for sleeping seeing as much of mike's family was there for his "special day" as well. ryan and i slept in the sun room off of the kitchen--me on the floor and him on a little love seat seeing as he has hella back pains from the accident. yon about 7:00am, leslie davis (mike's mother) gets up and starts making more noise than anyone ever should when they can see the two people sleeping ten feet away. after she moves every possible thing in the kitchen, she then starts to have a conversation about the "two girls" sleeping in the sun room. she does not recognise ryan as a boy, or even being the boy that she has met several times over the past six odd years she has known him. i guess this means the hormone therapy is going well.
we wake up, the family goes to graduation, ryan and i hang around the hosue for a while the then go shopping......after graduation, at around 2:00, we start drinking with mike. get drunk by about 4:00 and then go take a nap on the grassy hill beside the reception hall where the party is.
there is more drinking and more shots and evidently a couple of keg stands.
on sunday, there is more drinking and more naps and some viewing of "idiocracy" which i evidently fell asleep during, or so i am told.
we got up wicked early today so we could stop in wv and ryan could pay a speeding ticket from his last trip down and so we could get him to work by 4:00, which miraculously, we did. west virginia also offered up several situations where people could not identify his gender. one of them being at the court house where a man walked into the bathroom, looked at ryan, turned around and read the door over again just to make sure he was in the right one.
now, i am at home and ryan is at work. it feels a little odd seeing as how that kid hasn't been more than fifteen feet away from me in the past three days. what is the world coming to? i think i am going to take this week off though because he has a huge order to fill/sew of messenger bags and i will do nothing to facilitate his productivity.
i also need to decide when i am going to stop using "he" and start using "she" to refer.
that's just the shell outline of my weekend too....ugh! work tomorrow is going to be oh so lame!
so, what did everyone else do for their weekend?

outside it smells like warm spring rain and it makes my heart swell.
i want it to be spring time for the next five months and then have it be fall for the rest of the time.
i also want to live on a major body of water---preferably in the pacific northwest.

My productivity level for the day is almost at absolute zero. I just can't find a way to get myself motivated.
Generally, I pride myself in the fact that it takes me the least ammount of time of anyone on our management staff to finish monday morning paperwork, but right now I have mabye a quarter of what I need to get done finished. Typically, I am done at this point and off doing something more productive. Today though, I just don't care. Don't care, don't care, don't care. I actually just browsed through the forty odd pages of the transappreciation thread on the sexuality board. I feel like this week isn't going to go smoothly. Every morning, it gets harder and harder to get up and motivated. It's especially diffacult when I am at Ryan's. His general irresponsibility sometimes makes me want to slack off a little too. I should be appreciative of my parents and the work ethic that they instilled in me, otherwise I wouldn't be here right now, I'd still be sleeping.
Speaking of work ethic, my friend Danielle, who I got a job, is no longer employeed. She managed to show up for two non-consecutive days of the five she was scheduled. One day, she called me to tell me that she couldn't make it. The other two days, she is more or less unaccounted for. I am finding it really hard to not hold it against her personally. I mean, I don't like my job but I try to take it seriously. In the three years I've been here, I have never reccomended someone for a job. The one time that I do, the person fucks off and doesn't show. I know that it's not my fault that she didn't show but I still can't help but feel like it reflects negatively on me. The best part of all this is, she does not understand why she is no longer employeed. She says she's going to call on Tuesday morning and talk to our general manager. I would LOVE to be able to her wahatever excuses she is going to come up with.
So far today, the weather is crappy. It's raining, which mean no biking. I didn't really want to go on the Monday night ride, but it it's rainy that means that no one will go. Generally, when Ryan and people are off tearing through the streets of Columbus, I have a little extra time to myself, which I enjoy. I need to get a full night of sleep tonight, rather than staying up late talking and hanging out. I'm never going to get over this cold if I don't start to take better care of myself....or at least that's the word on the street.
I guess that I should cut this off and actually go and do some productive work so when the night manager shows up it looks like I've gotten at least SOMETHING done in the four hours that I have been here without any sort of supervision.

the air is broken at my work. there is nothing....just heat and dust. we don't own the building, it's leased so we have to wait for property management to get off their asses and come and fix the air. they don't really care. they aren't the ones who have to work in the heat all day long.
this is not new. every year, about this time, the air breaks. our building is old. it used to be a jcpenny when they still existed outside of malls. since it is a normal occurrence they ship us industrial fans from the warehouse. this sounds like a great thing, unless you have allergies, which incidentally, i do. the fans stir up all the dust that has settled over the winter months. today, i actually sneezed out a scrap of paper. i have a cough like death.
i had an interview at hot topic today. right now it's just for part time and they are willing to work around my present work schedule, which is pretty cool. i don't necessarily want to be "that girl" who works at mall hot topic but i think at this point it would be a little bit more rewarding than the thrift store---alright, a LOT more rewarding.
the girl that interviewed me was a hella rad & sexy goth girl. wOOt!
the weather is nice and i want to go for a bike ride.

why isn't health care or heath insurance more affordable? i mean, all through primary elections, i heard a lot about affordable health care, but all the planning in the world isn't going to help me right now.
i don't know if i am just really stressed or if i'm having an allergic reaction to something, but my hands are wicked swollen---to the point where it hurts to bend them too far. i'm not even twenty-five. i shoudn't have to deal with all of this medical bullshit. it seems like i am at least a little bit sick all the time and my present job does not afford me health insurance
so, yeah, that's my little bitch fest for the day.
i think that i'm starting to be a total slacker as a friend. i see the same group of people consistantly and i spend almost every night with ryan but anyone that is not associated with that household has sort of fallen to the wayside. i don't want it to be that way. i make plans or have ideas to go out and do things but then i'll lay down in bed beside ryan and all my hopes of going anywhere or doing anything are done. i don't really want to be this girl but at the same time, once i'm there i don't really want to be anywhere else.
complications....and such....

i did a good thing today.
my friend danielle didn't have a job and also didn't really have a place to stay as her present roommates are total fuckers and are trying to drive her out....
in any case, i got her a job at my work, which is very brave of her considering how much bitching i do about working there.
i think it will be fun. it would be nice to have someone that works there and doesn't suck, right? right!
so, i guess it's almost the weekend, right? i still have the same cold i've had for about two weeks, but whatever. i am planning on drinking away the sickness. that works, right?
