Random things
-- Oh, for fuck's sake. According to the backup coach at work (as in, the coach more likely to give us a straight answer), we'll be getting the bonus "by the end of the month. What? No. This is freaking ridiculous. The assessment period ended on the last day of June. The paperwork was due back on August 1st. Why the HELL should it be taking this long to decide who gets a bonus? Yeah, it's a factory, but there aren't THAT many people working there. And I still don't get why they aren't starting the decision process in the beginning of June or earlier, seriously. They know who's definitely getting a bonus. They know who's definitely NOT getting a bonus. So why is it taking two freaking months to cut some checks?
Don't mind me. I just really need to either know I'm not getting anything and stop getting my hopes ups or know I'm getting something and stop stressing out that I'll have to make half of my rent magically appear out of thin air.
-- Men's field hockey? I don't think I've ever watched men play field hockey. Ooo, hot German guys! \o/ (I'm seriously starting to suspect that my majority of German ancestors did something to my genes that makes me predisposed to flail happily over hot guys speaking German.)
-- I can't even remember the last SPN fic I read -- it was probably Big Bang fic but then again I think I just read the RPS ones -- but what am I hooked on right now? Slavefic and non-con mpreg. I ... think I may have broken my fic-brain.
-- I've only gotten five hours of sleep today, and it probably would have been a better idea to roll over and go back to sleep, but instead I got up to see if I could get another chapter of The Hollow Girl written today. I've really got to pick a college for her to go to already. I think the problem is just that it's got to be far enough away that coming home is a hardship and I don't know any that well. I really would love to get the bigger bonus this time around since that's a couple thousand bucks and I could catch up with my bills, cover Wincon, AND take a road trip to go check out a college to set The Hollow Girl at. I'll be a hell of a lot more comfortable if I can walk the campus for a few days and get to know it as well as I can manage.
Also, I made her a knitter. Some of you people who know how to knit better than I do -- meaning, at all -- are probably going to get silly questions from me in the future.
-- The Leg-Biting Bitch Loves To Fucking Swear. YES. Yes, this.
-- Cat adopts bunny. D'AWWWWW.
EDIT: No, seriously, how does Michael Phelps find pants that fit the outboard motor jammed up his ass?
