A romp through the insanity patch!

I've bought more anime in the last week then in the last two years or so COMBINED.

*waits for Trigun and Cowboy Bebop to arrive*

...they were on sale. And it was my turn to be a bad influence on kaitodoushi, because she bought them too. Getting back at her for alerting me to the Soul Eater DVDs on sale. Which should be here sometime today. Well, volumes 1, 3, and 4. Volume 2 is on backorder and won't be here for a couple of weeks.

On a COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE, why is my stack of stuff to watch not getting shorter?

Bah.

*goes back to important boring adult-like things*

kaitodoushi is a bad influence.

*has ordered Soul Eater, parts 1-4*

...

RAWR!

...

*waits*

Spring is officially here.

You know how I know?

I found the first spider of the season in my bathtub when I went to take a shower.

...and it's never the small ones, either. It's always the ones half the size of your palm. Whyyyy is it always the big ones?

Also, new layout, yay! ♥ candy__chan ♥

Today I learned that you get weird looks if you're in the breakroom at work on lunch with a couple of coworkers, and you say, aloud, the following phrase:

"HOW DO I MAKE THE MOUSE MOVE SO THE TORPEDO WON'T GO OFF?"

Fortunately, they're coworkers I'm on good terms with, and so I showed them the game I was playing on my DS, and we wound up in a conversation about video game consoles and stuff. I have some awesome coworkers.

For the record, Ghost Trick fucking RULES.

What a weird morning. Woke up early, did a P90X workout (in an attempt to actually start my New Year's resolution, though I only did about half the workout), and about half an hour later I had to run to the bathroom because I thought I was going to be ill.

So yeah, called in sick to the pharmacy for the first time in almost two years. Go me.

Will have more later on updates in other areas - lots to report. But right now I just want to stare at the wall and will my stomach to calm down D:

Oh god, work, what are you doing to me?

On Sunday, there were three of us there - two techs and a pharmacist, as is par for the weekends. Between 9:50 and about 1:45, we did 77 prescriptions. Between 1:45 and probably...3:30-ish? WE DID FOOKIN' 81 PRESCRIPTIONS. I was counting and handling the drive-through, Other Tech was handling the front counter (where she was at least six deep for the entire two hours), and Pharmacist was entering scrips in the computer and checking at the speed of light.

Afterwards, we all took a breath and double-checked everything. All was well. WE MADE IT!

I arrived on Monday, ready to start my shift at nine...only to find that the power was out. The store was running on back-up/emergency lights. Turns out there was a transformer (ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!) fire at the other end of the mall, and power was out all over the area. So electronic prescribing and the fax machine were both down, plus we were having register problems, and...GROWL.

I did get called a sweetheart about ten seconds after walking in, though, because I'm willing to organize things into baskets and other little tasks. That was kind of nice!

And then yesterday...oh god. I worked at noon-thirty. Got up, had breakfast, did some stuff. Then I got a little drowsy. Figured I'd take a quick power nap before work, so I set my phone alarm to wake me up at noon.

I opened my eyes, my bedside clock said 12:32. My phone had shut itself off.

...ever sleep on your leg weird and get a dead leg? Like, beyond pins and needles into full-on non-feeling? Yeah. I had that, and I didn't realize it until I tried to get up in a panic, and found myself on the floor. So since there is no phone reception in the basement, I crawled up the stairs on my hands and one knee to call my work. Got there twenty minutes late @_@

I'm usually early getting there (stop down, drop my stuff, grab my labcoat, etc., before I go punch in), so they let me slide with only mild teasing and questions about how my nap was *laugh*

And then we had a repeat of Sunday's stampede, but with more people working. I didn't move from the drive-through for probably an hour. Saving grace, folks. Saving grace.

And now it's time for me to head in for day seven of my seven-day stretch. FOUR DAY WEEKEND STARTS AT SEVEN O'CLOCK TONIGHT, BITCHES. I'm hoping it'll be dead so she'll let me go early. I have a couple of errands to run ;)

Ciao!


Also, I have now seen both The Last Airbender and the Twilight movie. My horror cannot be expressed in words.

HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY, MOMMY AND DADDY! I'm very proud of you ^____^

We went to Red Lobster for dinner tonight. Give me a sec to roll myself just a little closer to the keyboard...sorry, bottomless shrimp will do that to you. Oh GAWD that scampi was to die for!

And Mom and I each had a daiquiri. When the waitress innocently asked if we wanted to get the bigger size, we said sure. What we each wound up with was something probably better consumed with a soup spoon than with a straw. That sucker was the size of a BOWL. I finished that drink. I had to. It was a matter of PRIDE o/

So tomorrow is my only free day this week. Here's the list of things I would like to accomplish:

~ Run a couple of errands (make payments, get eyebrows done)
~ Get everything together and in order for the weekend trip in the car
~ PLUNNIE PLUNNIE PLUNNIE
~ Do laundry and do some general tidying
~ Sew a bit
~ Game with Kat when she gets off work

...what will probably happen?

~ Sleep in
~ Run errands (these HAVE to get done!)
~ Play Pokemon
~ Sew (maybe)
~ Game with Kat

...do I know me or what?

Okay, for tonight, at least? I think I'm going to evolve me some Pokemon. MUST. FILL. 'DEX. BEFORE BLACK AND WHITE COME OUT @_@ (My nostalgic side, let me show you it.)

Happy Lurker Day?

*may or may not be dead from the goddamn NINE-DAY WORK STRETCH that will end tomorrow and go into a three-day weekend thank you Claude*

Also, I don't know if any of you watch America's Got Talent, but...this man just might be my king PRINCE. Watch it if you like opera. Actually watch it if you don't like opera. Actually just watch it if you want hilariously awesome entertainment.

His other two auditions are here and here. Can't WAIT to see what he does in the Top Ten ^____^

Also awesome is Fighting Gravity, for something completely different.

All right, time to get ready for work. FIGHT, DAY EIGHT, FIGHT!

I just sneezed four five times in a row. That was fun XD

Anyway, main point of this entry is to just share something hilarious that was said at work today. The two coworkers I was working with are both married, and were discussing frustrations about their husbands. Here's what resulted...

C1: *something about throwing things at her husband*
C2: Do you actually throw things at him?
C1: Well...nothing that would actually hurt him.
C2: Like chairs. Or trees.
Me: ...trees? *pretending to lift something heavy* I told you to take out the trash!
C1: *also pretending to lift something heavy* Why aren't the dishes done?

We also had a delightful conversation about how tasty bacon is, and how peaches and bacon are not the same thing. SHUT UP IT WAS A SLOW DAY. But remember, this is the same place that actually resulted in the phrase, in context, "Monkeys are not cows."

I love my coworkers sometimes. I really do ~♥

But it can has be vacation tiemz nao!! I'm off until...a week from Monday, I think ^o^ Time to do productive things! *doesn't move until Thursday, when we're going to the Rifftrax show, w00t*

Also, one of the newest prompts on the Layton meme may or may not be attempting to eat my brain alive. Like...I've been thinking on it all day ;_; Send help?

So...

Anyone doing NaNo this year?

...

Yes, I'm already thinking about it XD
