Isn't she a seriously gorgeous little terrier? # Via Twitter because I'm really lazy :-) (Comment on this)

anomie22	8:18p	New book night. I've got one more of Shelley's books, so I probably should read that, but I am a burnt on the Pratchett, being like 6 books in a row. I relaly enjoyed Feet of Clay, but... I don't know, maybe time for something new. I do have the non-fiction Dust Bowl book my mom gave me, that I do want to read, but sounds a little depressing. It may be time to re-read Harry Potter, but what I really want to do is start into Shanarra again, from where I left off. But, of course, I don't have that on hand tonight.... Decisions.

anomie22	5:59p	there is always next decade If I had the will to do a beer a week on the ol' blog there, I would have plenty of beers to choose from for best of lists. Or even once a week about anything. But, I can go like right now, six days of working and I can tell you nothing coherent. Plebs are needed! See? (Comment on this)

anomie22	1:34p	top lists I would really like to do a top ___ of 2009/2000's, but I really don't know what I would do. Something that is postable, not too private, enjoyable by all, and quick, because I don't need another long term project. (Probably down to my last 100 photos to scan!) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

anomie22	9:41p	posting like it's hot. I usually, actually, like to stress. I get the same joy from it as a do when I am pouting or angry. I like to stay in that mood for a really, really long time. I don't know why I do. It's not healthy, and I am sure that it drives Beth crazy, but I do. But, anyway, last night, I am pretty sure that I did something stupid at work, which is easily fixable, but a hassle for the morning person. Whatever, it was an honest mistake. But, since I am trying to be a good manager, which I suppose to me means infallible, I stressed all night about this for like an hour. My night was fine until I remembered this. And, I think that a lot of the hesitation I have about being a better manager at this store is that I am not all-knowing. The store runs to a different beat and I am trying my best to fix any issue the store has from within the system. I think that this is better than changing one thing that doesn't fit and messes something else up. Sorry to talk vaguely, but I really don't want to stress right now about the individual problems. So, like I was saying, I like to stress... when I am in a stressing mood. But, lately, I think that it has been unhealthy for me. I feel weak, I haven't been sleeping well, and I know... I know that I am not performing up to the caliber I should be. And it sucks, because I feel really stupid at times at my new store. I feel like a failure, and it is cyclic. I stress, I can't sleep, I suck through work. And, really, this is how it's been for the last week. And I know that my manager sees it, and I fear that my district manager sees it. I really don't know what to do to get out of the cycle. I know that I need to put my foot down and change things the way they need to be changed. But the store is so damned busy, and we need to be customer focused first. And when it is time to have even a quick conversation, we can't because it pulls two people away from the customer. Like, it is about 1-2 customers a minute from 8a-5p, every day. I feel like I should just take up consistently talking, regardless of who is listening. Hopefully something will stick. Wow, work is depressing like this. If anyone wants to hang out with me on New Year's Eve, I will be working. I do have plans for Beth's birthday. I need to finish/wrap her presents. I cannot beleave that Christmas is 10 days away. It does not feel like Christmas in the city. Or in Sicily, I would imagine. How come I never get a vacation to my homeland? I would love to spend Christmas somewhere in Germania. Oh Christmas! (3 Comments |Comment on this)
