My, my…

I really haven’t been abusing this soap box as much as I should (or have).  Well, maybe that’s a good thing for some of you as I am prone to ramble. However I feel inspired to produce an update on my situation. Also, I would like to submit a disclaimer before you proceed–my current writing is heavily coloured by my role as a contact center agent who has to write emails in a profusely apologetic manner and am to be extremely all encompassing (to prevent accusations of withhold information) in my replies. Concurrently I’ve been re-reading a lot of Anne McCaffry as of late, who’s prose has a definite style which I adore. Essentially if it seems like I’m writing in a manner that is strange, it’s because I can’t help it.

As for my life at the moment I have finally succeeded in securing a lease until the end of December on a wonderful one bedroom located with in (not entirely easy) walking distance to work.It’s veryconveniently priced, spacey and with excellent light with what has so far proven to be a very accommodating. The area is also rife with dogs, which is fortuitous (that’s a word that doesn’t get enough use these day, honestly). The only issue is that I must wait for the beginning of May before I can more in. The result is an increasing discontent with my daily 3 hour bus commute.

I’ve also sent of my computer (who shall hence forth be known as ‘Gigiboo’) to be repaired upon discovering that Future Shop did indeed have a record of my overpriced warranty. The result is that I will spend 8-10 days without Gigiboo, a trauma which makes me die a little inside every time I think about it.

Emotionally lately I’ve noticed a rather prevalent schizophrenia in my behavior, fluctuating between extreme cheerfulness (especially with the slowly improving weather, my poor body hasn’t received this much vitamin D in months) and absolute annoyance with everything that lives and has the misfortune to communicate with me. This is a rather obnoxious state of being when you’re a call center rep. For now I’ve attempted to focus on the happier side of my emotions while thinking up some sort of non-computer related project to occupy me for the next week and a half. Expect to see a perforation of sketches at that time.
