Monkey!

Yes yes yes! I'm going to Florida next month! Oh yeah! I probably won't be able to hang with any other LJ-ers, but I love y'all anyway! It's final, I have flight info and such. Yeah me! Is going to be such fun! I haven't seen my friends other than at their wedding in like, over a year and a half.

So I'm trying to decide on other vacation plans for the season now, which is kind of difficult. I'm hesitant to use all my vacation time before summer properly starts. And I plan to buy a house (or a townhouse, at least) so I really should conserve cash. Maybe I should make a poll...

EDIT: I will be in Sarasota from April 10-13. Not sure if we're going anywhere else during that time, but Orlando is a vague possibility, sort of, maybe. I really have to talk to them.

Contemplations on Bad Days... thoughts, a whiny rant, etc

Sometimes, it's hard to figure out where things started to go wrong. Or indeed, if they did go wrong or you yourself are viewing them wrong. And mostly everything that does go wrong is minor, so it seems that there is a bit of the blowing it all out of proportion mindset as well. But they all combine to piss me off, really. And really, there are so many things that aren't bad, and yet... And yet I find myself focusing on the things I'm annoyed about. Instead of letting them go, into the ether, I'm thinking about how exactly each one will affect me later. Later today, later tomorrow, later into the indefinite future, just later. And it really is a self-pity parade for one.

Got to work late, didn't get much really done, am behind anyway, can't stay late because I have to take my car to be fixed yet AGAIN since it wasn't done correctly the 3 previous times, didn't really eat lunch because I couldn't find anything appetizing, won't really be eating dinner because I don't have time to go home for food, forgot to grab my atm card so no money to stop somewhere, forgot to pick up my transit checks at work so I'll need to charge my commuting again, fought with my coworker over something, couldn't seem to remember how to use percentages, was rude to both of my bosses (though neither of them cared really), etc etc.

Now. I will go and attempt not to miss my bus. It's unlikely the universe will cooperate, but anything is possible.

Look at the cute little distressed hamster

So the car... the car is having issues. I went, once again, to have it looked at. Bad news. There's *something* unidentified wrong with it. Something they need to actually take time during the day (so, no, not one of my regular night appts) to go look at and try to fix. Damn them! Damn them to the depths of the fiery pits of the really bad hell!!! (As opposed to the ordinary not that bad hell, obviously) So tomorrow night I have to drop it off there. And it's kind of far away, because I'm a twit and took it to the place I like instead of finding a new, closer, and more convenient place for them to screw me and my car over. All I want is for it to be fixed, dammitall!!! I love my car. More than anything else in my life (well, okay, with the possible exception of my cds, my dog, and maybe, just maybe, my family). At this point I've had to cancel out on 4 or so weekend trips, just since the beginning of the year, and I'm probably going to have to at least tweak this weekends plan. It's getting old. I need to wreak holy havoc and vengeance upon mine enemies for smiting my car. They'd better fix it this time. Really. I can't be held responsible (she fell in love in the first place, for the life of me, i can not remember, what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise... lalala).
