stillaneI'm not really here. I'm just pretending. It's been that kind of week.
Also, this cracked me up:
To all those of you bracing for/doing battle with finals, may your testing be easy and your celebration be long! (Andfeartheotter : will you be up for conversation tomorrow night, say 11ish over here? Haven't wanted to bug you while in the throws of year-end.)
On Tuesday I realized I'd miscalculated how large my loan payments are going to be - as in, the number that seemed doable every three months looks somewhat less doable when they desire it monthly. Next monthly.
On Wednesday, I found out I'm back among the unemployed ranks as of the new year. This is not wholy unexpected, since I was filling in for a lady who is now returning, but still... I'm finding myself irrationally hurt that I did not become indespensible in my two-month tenure. For a job that I wasn't all that enthusiastic about taking (the reasons are long and boring), I'm sorry to see it go. Hey, I never claimed to be sane.
In the long run, I know this will be for the best. I need to get mercenary and make big bucks now. It's all just a little too scary to feel like opportunity at the moment, though. (It doesn't hurt that I'm in educational limbo, obsessively checking all sources of info. Seriously. I spend the five minutes a day I'm averaging online acting like a rabid squirrel. It's not pretty.)
On the plus side, I finally feel fannish again. As soon as I get a little time, maybe there'll be something more interesting around here. (I really haven't forgotten those prompts you all left way back when; I'm still picking at them all.)
