I really hate not being able to sleep, especially when I have to work in just under eight hours. I guess that's ok, though. I got about five hours sleep last night, and I got called into work at the same time. I had to work by myself for most of the day too, which really blows. Washing dishes by yourself sucks; I'd rather have three times as much work to do with one other person than less work by myself.
So I seem to be getting more hours at work. I was scheduled for five days this week, and getting called in yesterday means I'll work 6. Usually I wouldn't be at all interested in that, but at the moment I'm prettydesparate. Being poor is no fun, because I'm a greedy little bastard, and I don't manage money well at all.
hmmm... what else. Oh ya, one of the dishwashers quit recently, or was let go maybe. I'm not sure. If he did get fired, I wouldn't be surprised, cuz he was a crappy-ass dishwasher whom nobody liked.
I've started reading a bit more, but unfortunately my reading selections aren't terribly challenging. I'm rereading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NImh. Why am I rereading it, you ask? Cuz it was one of my favourite books when i was really little, that's why. And I don't care what you think about it. So, Nyah. I think it'd be really cool if they'd made an animated series about it, one that's sort of deeper and full of conflict and intrigue - something that might appeal to people in their late teens to early twenties.
I also bought Treasure Island and The Jungle book. I don't think I actually read the Jungle book, except for maybe the condensed Disney version. I think it's really sad and pathetic that I'm not reading anything more challenging, but I've got this cursed computer and tv to distract me, so it's hard to read anything longer than a shopping list. I read National Geographic, and Readers Digest and Canadian Geographic, though. I like those. I talk lots about how we should all educate ourselves about the world around us, but I'm the biggest slacker when it comes to that. Really pisses me off. I tried reading Lord of the Rings, and I got maybe a third of the way into the first book, and found Tolkien's writing way to dense for me to read without falling asleep, or wishing I was doing something else. And I tried reading Dune once, and just found it mind-numbing. Of course, I got bored watching the movie Dune and the miniseries', so maybe it's not just the book that does it to me.
Sometimes I really hate having a computer. What can I do? suggestions? I really miss reading good books. Mostly what I'm reading, more than anything else, are friends' blogs. If you haven't done so already, check out some of the links to the left, there. I find them incredibly fascinating, and they always hold my attention. Robyn is quite possibly my favourite writer in the whole world at the moment. Just thought I'd say that to brighten her day. so there ya go.
And.. I think that's about it. Have a fun day.
