And that's what really hurts

I apparently have had a predilection for Radiohead songs as the titles to posts (this is the second); for some reason it's the first thing that pops into my head sometimes. I'm at work again, essentially doing double duty because of a favor I did for somebody. And every time I start to get pissed that I'm here, the song "just" from Radiohead pops into my head with the lyric "You do it to yourself/ you do/ And that’s what really hurts"....fuck you Thom Yorke-in-my-head.

Okay, so today has been a fairly productive day. For weeks to months, I've been procrastinating major life maintenance, but no more! Today I made appointments for a whole slew of things.

My car will soon be singing a new tune as it will get serviced in the next week...and none too soon since a new indicator light appeared this afternoon. I think it's the brakes....ummm, I may need those at some point, but they are prolly totally overrated.

I also made an eye appointment since the contacts they sold me make my eyes burn like fire and explode, which is a feature that I didn't want in my lenses this time...i know, i know, I'm such a prima donna.

What else? Oh yeah, I totally had to beg for an extension on my lease. Those jerks in the office weren't going to give it to me just to be assholes. And I hate lying, but I figure it was a semi-emergent situation, so I improvised. I told them that I was sorry about having to ask for it but my company initially was going to make me redundant but instead are transferring me ("Thank God" I said). (I also used the term "redundant" which I stole from "The Office" and figured that would keep them on their toes) I was going to tell them that my Fiance would have to stay here in Madison but thought that would be too much...and they would KNOW I was lying since they see how I live. I think the woman taking the message in the rental office felt bad and said she would talk to her manager.
Ten bucks says they still refuse...jerks....then I'll go to the media. Can't you just see the headlines? "Hard working man thrown into the mean streets of madison after getting transferred, losing his Fiance, and his dog dying" Yeah, I know that would be a really long headline [with lazy capitalization], but it would be a huge story since all other news would not matter anymore. The only problem is that I'd have to get a job first, then get transferred; get a fiance, then lose her (second part is easy, first part is hard); and get a dog and have it snuffed out (peta would kill me). Fuck it, I'll sleep at work or something.

OH YEAH!!! The best part of today was being told that the jerks that robbed me plead (pleaded?) guilty!!! Which means I don't have to testify against them. Which means i'm going to panama instead of the court!!! Now that's good news.


I don't know if I posted about Clocky previously but i definitely need this....especially since I fell asleep on my weight bench FOR AN HOUR last night.

I adore good photography, and Loretta Lux's photography is just amazing, it has this eery quality to it with a mix of photography and painting.

I procrastinate....alot...and i'm very good at it....this will hopefully change things; so put down what you're doing and go and read this.

I love gadgets, and this clock is going to be my newest I think.

I also adore my moleskin, but this brand of notebook is just as intriguing....to the longshoreman on your christmas list I guess.
