apocalypsosI spent half of last night packing a CD for shipping in which the carton labeler had misspelled the word "Heroin" in the album title as "Heroine". You have no freaking clue how much that was getting on my nerves. If it weren't for the fact that it had been okayed by the boss on another shift -- we're not supposed to send out pallets of CDs with anything misspelled on the paperwork -- I would have thought it had been okayed just to drive me up a wall.
On the other hand, it gave me an idea for another original novel. So, you know. YAY! \o/
I think letting myself haul my list of original fic plans to work with me and leaving my fanfic notes at home had the desired effect, in that not only did I mentally relaxed a whole hell of a lot last night, now I've got another damn idea. Tonight I may just stick to brainstorming new original fic ideas. I want a ginormous list of story ideas to work on. *rubs hands together in anticipation*
In other news, I think I'm going to spend most of the weekend hanging out at my parents' house. I'm probably going to get hassled about it because I think my mom is going to pick up on my sneaky plan of eating them out of house and home because I don't have a lot of money (or any money, really) to splurge on food, but on the other hand they've got two big parties planned for this weekend, one for the yearly fireworks and one for the yearly family reunion, so ... um, I'm helping! Yeah, that's the ticket! I'm here to cut vegetables and make pizza dip and stuff! Mind if I make myself a sandwich?
On the plus side, I have a day of overtime this week! *dances* Of course, we might not even get to keep our overtime because they might have wanted a tech rather than a machine operator and nobody knows for sure, and considering they were sending people home early yesterday I think it would get cancelled anyway, but if it doesn't I'm practically guaranteed four hours of overtime this weekend because as long as they don't call you and tell you not to come -- and my phone still doesn't work -- if you show up they have to let you stay for four hours. *crosses fingers*
Oh, and if anybody's wondering how my mind works, this is what I was doing yesterday about an hour before I had to leave for work:
"Okay, I need notebooks and stuff to bring with me so I can work on original fics! But I can't bring a bookbag. Man, I wish I had a tote bag. Well, I could always make on. I'll bet I could make one out of an old pencil skirt in about an hour. A couple of straps out of the hem, and all I'd have to do is sew across the bottom!"
I almost got it done, too. Probably would have helped if I had a working sewing machine instead of having to do it by hand. Heh. :)
