peridot_linesIs this icon not awesome? I'm 99% sure I know what it's from, mostly because there are these random Dunks ads that play when I listen to the game, with Pedrioa battling Goliath. I just look at it and giggle, because I really am that lame.
I really would love to make some deep, introspective post right now, but I'm stuck in this horrible rut of over-sharing that I really, really don't want to get into here right now. Work is work, life is life, and I'm trying my best to get through it.
To sum things up, life over the past week and a half has included a lot of work, a lot of driving, and a lot of work.
As a whole, work is just not that great at the moment. Things are not horrible, I'm just incredibly annoyed with a lot of seemingly inconsequential things. There's the guy with the braying laugh, who laughs too loud and too long. Also, the floor shakes and I feel like I'm in a Godzilla movie any time one of my co-worker's slow and heavy footsteps go anywhere within the vicinity of my cube. Plus I'm feeling guilty for all of the mean and nasty thoughts that float through my mind every time this happens. I need a sensory deprivation bubble of some sort to get through the day.
Life outside of work has consisted of a lot of driving, which started with me serving as an impromptu taxi service for one of my cousins when she was stranded and needed to get up north. So yeah, first cousin once removed and I had a ton of random conversation while she was completely unable to sit still in her seat the whole drive up there. As one of my other cousins put it, she is exhausting. I literally got to the cabin and crashed after watching around a half hour of one of the only movies I had on my laptop hard drive, The Sound of Music. I know, I'm so hardcore.
The highlight of last weekend was having the cat with me. She's become such a great traveler, and she settled in at my parents' cabin really well. Saturday night though, we were hanging out in a bedroom and she looks up at a mirror hanging on the wall, nothing big, she couldn't even see into it. But she sits back on her hind legs and kind of sniffs at the air and then sort of stands up and starts making these cute meowing sounds. I keep watching, because I'm sure something interesting is about to happen, and sure enough... She crouches down into the spring-loaded, momentum building, butt-wiggling position and makes a few more meowing sounds before she leaps up into the air and tries to jump into the mirror. She pretty much went splat against it and the wall and tried to hang on with her back feet before she fell back to the floor and bolted out of the room. 10 minutes later, just looking at her sent me into another fit of tearful laughter.
Plans for this weekend include a lot of reading, setting up a comm for the first time on lj, and going shopping for something to wear to my friends' wedding next weekend. The last thing will probably be the most difficult part of my weekend, mostly because the weather here is all over the place and I can only imagine what it will be like in Blackduck. People who think they can predict the weather are insane, seriously.
I also can not stop listening to Passion Pit.
