Seeing as I no longer feel like a dirty old woman for saying this.....Thank you, Perez Hilton!

I really do wish I could go and see the play though.  I've heard in the past that it is good. 

Further proof that I work with a bunch of pigs:  I heard one of the dayshift drivers saying that all women are whores.  Yeah, you didn't read that wrong.  He actually said that.  And my supervisor agreed!!
Granted, it was in the context of dating, but that doesn't mean that it should've been said.  Ever.  Especially in the presence of a woman.
My supervisor later on tried to justify the comment by stating that in the bars and other places that this driver goes to, they are whores.  So if I go into one of those bars to get a drink, that automatically makes me a whore?  He tried to rationalize it further by stating that those type of women are all that the driver knows, so of course to his mind all women are whores.*
So since I have a vagina, I must be a whore.

What the bleeding asscrack fuck?
 
*Some women do behave that way, I'll admit.  But ever notice that when a guy acts like that, it's socially acceptable, and earns him man points?  But oh no, we're all whores.  >_<

Wow, I had nearly forgotten about this place.  Not surprising really, when you take into consideration the amount of time I'm actually on the computer during the course of a week.  And the sheer number of sites that I've grown to visit daily.  At least I can say that I've pretty much weaned myself off of Myspace.  Unless I get an email alert about a blog post from a friend, I don't visit there much anymore.
As I once told kitcat72, I've been behind the times.  Way behind the times.  I've been doing a kind of desperate kind of catch up with a lot of people, and in complete honesty, failing miserably.  I haven't even begun to catch up on any of my fic comms, or the fics that I had previously been following.  *smacks hands*  Bad girl!  I've been trying to remedy this within the last week or so, and will continue to do so.
geniusartist had a number of interesting posts that I had previously missed.  They very nearly broke my brain too, and forced me to look at things from a perspective that isn't entirely comfortable for me.  And forces me to take a long, hard look at myself.  Not necessarily a bad thing.  I still have to go through all the links and everything. 


All that being said, I think I'm going to go cuddle under a blanket and maybe doze off to some Buffy.
I do feel the need for some Snarry, but I'll save that for later.

I'm preparing to abandon ship yet again at LJ. You may know me as kwhiteshark over there. Granted, I may not get all the time that I would wish to comment, let alone read everything. So this entire enterprise could very well be pointless.
RL has gotten increasingly...overbearing, you could say. I don't get to read all the entries from my flist or fics anymore. I'm rarely online for more than a couple of hours at a time anymore. And when I am, I get interrupted. A lot. Have I mentioned how much I hate that?
The feeling is the same if I am reading a book. You see I am reading, please leave me alone. You'd think after knowing me my entire life, my family would have learned this. Apparently not, and they wonder why I get cranky.
Work has improved some. I still miss my old coworker like crazy, and her replacement leaves much to be desired, but the other girl they hired seems like she's going to work out pretty well. I'm getting along with my supervisor most of the time now, which surprises me since my opinion of him has not improved much. He was helping me for a while, but now that we've got someone new who seems to be competent, he's going back to lazy fast. Yeah, I know I sound like a snob. I'm just of the opinion that if you have a job, you're there to work, not run your mouth all night. Being a supervisor does not mean that you get to sit with your feet up on the desk. You haven't "earned the right" to sit there and do nothing. *steps off mini-soapbox*
My feelings towards him haven't changed that much, but at least the environment isn't as uncomfortable as it was before Bubbles left.

As far as other things go, I've just been feeling worn down. I haven't had nearly enough me time, or time with my friends. I'm beginning to suspect that the only me time I'm going to get is when I'm cleaning my bedroom. O_O It's not horrendous or anything, nothing will swallow you as you walk through there, but I'm amazed that the mutant dust/dog hair bunnies haven't attacked me in my sleep yet. I've been meaning to pack some things up for storage, but do you think I've gotten around to it? No. Make that hell no.

I think I've rambled enough. It's about time for me to turn in, and hope that my headache goes away. Ugh, I loathe sinus headaches.

Okay, I keep seeing the term Con Crud popping up.  Con veterans, please explain this to me.  I'm pretty sure I got afflicted with it, but since my sinuses are usually wonky on a good day, I'm not quite sure.

I've got to say, I'm amazed at the speed in which I got sick.  I was fine Sunday night when I came home, and then Monday rolled around.  It started Monday and hasn't stopped yet.

My my....I have been naughty. *snort*

Oh dear, I've been away for far too long.  I am currently basking in the best birthday present that I have ever given to myself.
I spent this weekend in Chicago for the Supernatural/Smallville/Buffy/Angel convention.  *sigh of joy*  I had an awesome time, and met some wonderful people.
I ordinarily loathe mornings, but photo ops with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki first thing in the morning made it all worth it.  I've got this little smile on my face.  I'm sure many a fangirl would recognize it. 

Being totally coherent isn't really on my list of things to do at the moment, but sleep is.   Goodnight flist.  :)

Yep, my coworker got that job.  Her last day will be on October 9th.  :(  But it's not like we won't keep in touch.  I sincerely hope that we do, cause she is an awesome person.  That and I get to keep her up to date on all the nasty stuff our supervisors will start spouting once she leaves.  *rolls eyes*  It's never ending drama there.

I've been looking for another job myself, and submitted my resume to a company that is apparently very hard to get into.  *keeping fingers crossed*  Someone suggested going to a temp agency, and I'm seriously considering it.  Hell, I'd probably still get paid more with a temp agency, since the company I currently work for seems to look down their noses at women.  I've got a few reasons for believing this that I would love to expound upon, but lack the time.

My coworker got some good news today.  Though she has to go for a second interview, she's got a new job lined up.  Good news for her, bad news for me.  She's one of the few people that make my workplace bearable, and with her gone, I get the nasty feeling that it'll turn into a hellish place.  As is, the two (male) supervisors apparently think that her and I are both overpaid for the work we do. granted, it's office work, but we keep the entire second shift running....goodness knows the place would come to a screeching halt if those two morons were forced to do everything themselves.  Let me note here that I make $10/hr.  And that is only after being there for 3 years.
Overpaid my big ass!  *grumbles*

On the good side of this conundrum, she did point out that I'll save more money since I won't have anybody to go to the casino with.  ~_^ 
She has a point, but I like going with her because it's fun to get excited when a friend wins.  Plus I keep hoping that her luck will rub off on me.

You know, I'm pretty sure that typing up a coherent post five minutes or so before one has to leave for work should be considered an art form.

I was just a tad bit late for work yesterday...but only a minute.  And I know that they don't really count those minutes.  Besides, I made up that minute anyway.  And suffering my supervisors' presence (and his constantly running mouth) was my penance.  My coworker has been feeling really crappy, so she left early.  And apologized more than a few times for leaving me there alone with him.  She knows that I can't stand him.  ^_^
Though I am sort of talking to him again.  Not a whole bunch of non-work related things though.   Because I'm still pretty unhappy with him over his little attitude thing last month.  Yes, I am intentionally holding a grudge.  

There isn't much that actually happens in my neck of the woods.  I am trying to find a second part time job, or even a new job.  I've grown to dislike my workplace.  And that's a bad thing.  I used to enjoy going to work, and the people I work with.  Now it's become a chore.  Up in the ranks with dusting.  I can't open my mouth to say anything, because if I do, I'm being a bitch.  I guess it must be a hazard that comes of working with all men.  That I would like to strangle at least once a day.  But since I'm generally a pacifist, I refrain from it.

Hi-ho, it's off to work I go.

trilliah, after a long time of waiting to get the first disc of Scrubs, I have to say that you were right.  :-D 
I especially like Dr. Cox.

I'm still alive and kicking.  Just been busy trying to get myself organized for the Supernatural/Buffy convention in Chicago in November.  Both boys from Supernatural are going to be there....on my birthday, no less. 
More later...cause if I don't leave now, I'll be late for work.  Crap.

Just when I start getting caught up on leaving comments that are overdue, people decide that they can't leave me alone.

Granted, RL not giving me a lot of time to read and comment is only part of the problem.  The other, major part of it is not being left alone long enough to do so.  Like now.  >_<
I can only ignore for so long.

You're Egypt!

Curator of ancient mystical secrets, your life on the surface is fairly
typical these days.  Though you are in denial about more things than most people.
 Nevertheless, you're trying to convince people that you're safe despite your more
volatile and unstable times that seem to be behind you.  You like cats a whole lot.
 You'd probably really appreciate The Blue
Pyramid.

Yes, I do like cats. There is nothing quite like the sound of a cat purring. Unfortunately, my dogs don't play well with cats. :(

My stomach is positively churning over going to work today.  How he behaves today will affect our ideas for him.  I'm half expecting to get accosted and dragged into his boss's office the second I walk in the door.

If I actually thought it would do any good to write a letter to his boss, I would've done it.  After going over all my options, it basically comes down to I'm damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't.  Add that to the fact that his boss has covered up Wayne's use of marijuana before so that he wouldn't have to take a piss test.  Probably more than once.

jordangrant posted alink to instructions on how to bulk import your friends list to GJ, IJ, JF, and other LJ clones, so I thought I'd share it with others on my flist who may not know that you can do that, or who haven't seen other posts about it.
Much easier than doing it the hard way.  Instructions are here.


I also need another fandom like I need another hole in the head, but I'm going to give Stargate fic a try.

I think I can safely say that right now, Creation is making me a very happy woman.  They're having a Supernatural/Buffy/Smallville con in November.  They've got some pretty good guests so far, and I hope they'll be able to get a few more.  *cough*Jensen*cough*
Though I think if they have both Jared and Jensen, my ovaries might explode.  

I could have this completely wrong and misunderstood, but the impression mom gave me during our little chat last night after I got home is this:  that because he's giving us (mostly her) money, Dad thinks that she should put out.

Again, I could have it completely wrong.  But I don't think I do.  It sickens me, it really does.


Something else that sickens me is the sexist attitude of the guys at work.  The dock supervisor seems to think that because I cuss, I'm trying to act like "one of the guys."  And since I'm "acting like one of the guys", they're going to treat me like one of the guys.

Excuse me, but since when did swearing become exclusive to men?  Yeah, I may occasionally have a mouth like a truck driver, but that does not mean that I'm trying to be "one of the guys."  What it means, to me, is that I sometimes use colorful language to express myself when I feel the need.  Some people think I do this a lot.  Not so.  In fact, most of it is done under my breath.  Bemoaning the fact that I work with a bunch of ignorant, bigoted, sexist pigs, more often than not.  Or if I screw something up, and have to backtrack to fix it.

*shakes head*  Not like I go around telling people that they are ignorant assholes.  (which I would love to tell some of them, but I keep my mouth shut)  I can leave that up to the dock supervisor, since he probably tells the dock guys that fifty times a night.
