Twiddling my thumbs and watching the movie 50/50 while I wait for it to be 11:00 for my first appointment, as I have literally nothing else I can do that would be productive.
Just did yard work. Ugh, it’s so hot where I live that these guys could easily have their epic battle in front of my house. Pic:
Brainstorming and zoning out at random intervals. Also, eating yellow mangoes. I fucking love yellow mangoes.
Attempting to continue writing while trying to dodge the random spears of self-doubt my mind seems determined to throw at me today.
"With the power vested in me, by some random organization. I now pronounce you man and mango. You may devour the mango."
Looking through the CDC's catalogue of diseases because you never know when you may need some obscure disease to kill off a pesky character! Or person... ETA: I think I found one that I'm going to use in a story. Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI), which is basically when someone sleeps so little that they start to suffer dementia and, eventually, they end up dying. No cure, and a prognosis of 12-18 months.
Nothing like peeling my wife mangoes skin off slowly and ripping into her its flesh with my teeth. Romanticism taken to the next level.
Reassessing my options, I tried to leave retail last year got scared by uncertainty. Didn't want to leave a good Pharmacy manager, and a good place I was at! However, that good place is dwindling as incompetent corporate fuck things up. My Pharmacy manager can only do so much. The time has come, to seek new venues and different job opportunities! Time to join the local police department as a file Clerk! Hell yeah, anything is better than retail, or Pharmacy for that matter!! My Pharmacy manager told me there is no happiness in Pharmacy, and I believe him! I mean never get to be a cop, but to be surrounded by brave men and women who put their lives on the line for others, is good enough for me. I'd prefer to be surrounded by Warriors who maybe will inspire me, then the soullessness of retail and corporations
Sounds like the small store I used to work at where corporate would send a massive truckload of product every Friday; we ran out of room to put everything, but the product kept coming and coming until the manager insisted on giving me unreasonable hours just to keep up. I quit that job and I don't regret doing so; I'm not killing myself for minimum wage, lol.
Opposite problem for me... plenty of room but the bosses won't let me order enough product. Especially wine. Not like it's the easiest thing in the world to sell or anything.
Dunno why, but I generally don't like tropical fruit, especially mango. Unless you misspell it in Japanese, in which case I'm definitely a fan
Wondering if I should have ice cream for breakfast or try to scrounge around the kitchen for something else that’s somewhat edible. There’s a pint of lactose free vanilla (my dad is lactose intolerant and I guess it was on sale) and then strawberry syrup, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles on the counter. So much sugar, but I don’t think there’s too much else... damn. Someone please talk me out of this
Just had an advisory meeting with a new client and she's the sweetest old lady I've ever met. I may or may not have let slip a few tips to circumvent some of the red tape that my firm has to receive their best investment rates. I admit nothing.
Now I want ice cream, but I have no freezer. Suppose I could get dressed and go to the shop for one though...
Sometimes you just got to say to yourself, time to get the hell out of retail! LOL. I I have a feeling I'm not going to regret it either when I leave, hopefully soon!
Hah, I got you beat! I lost my phone/Xbox as well as got an ass whooping! Not to mention a long-winded lecture about why I shouldn't have done whatever it is that I did and what I should've done instead.
Packing up the chocolate oat bran flapjack, ready to take to group tomorrow...and trying very hard not to eat it all in the process!
Heh. That reminds me of two things, And the fact that I've yet to finish Tomie by Junji Ito. For those that don't know, he makes some horror manga with artwork that really inspires. Art in the spoiler, Spoiler: Horror stuff, chickens beware, bawk bwak
