I had a pretty hectic weekend, filled with work, denied job applications, emails and Star Wars, so I'm taking a break and hitting the hay about 3 hours earlier than usual.
As compensation, look at some Cracked stuff...

Does not Bode.
This week started off great.
And by great, I mean horribly. I don't really want to complain here. Anyone else that is on the internet does not want to read my sob-story. Particularly not mine. But this being an exceptional case of the Monday-Fails, I thought it'd be worth your while.
I wake up. It's Monday, November 30th. (Picture that with one of those Law&Order/CSI scene-opener kinda tunes in the background...). Sun is shining. Weather is Beautiful. I walk out the door, realizing that, leaving this early, I'll make it to class well before it starts, not just-as! Now since this hasn't happened much in the last two or three weeks, I'm ecstatic. Get it my car. Turn the Key. Nothing.
Nothing at all. Turns out my key was worn out (or something like that) and they had to replace the entire ignition system (or something like that). Well, two missed classes later, I was having a fairly good day. My Bio class (the only one I made it to that day) was as fun as always, and a good friend, back from (is back the right word?), anyways, a friend of mine who's back home, he gave me a lift.
Next, I shall grace your web presence with what has also happened the last few days. Let me start out by saying that me and my brother are not always on the best of terms. A "tough-love" description is probably the best fit. A common mutual annoyance is possibly even better. Anyways, to cut an explanation short, if we get into a bit of an argument, we tend to "devolve" and settle it the old fashioned way. Simple rules, first to knock the other over is "winner", and the "loser" leaves them alone.
In the spirit of the stupid spat, I pinned him. But in the process of doing so, I twisted my back (or something like that). Hurts like hell. But this does not seem to bode well with my recent Job Offer. Yes, you read/heard me right. I got a job offer. But as luck may have it (or unluck, in light of my back) it is a job with a Package company. You know that entails? Lifting things™. Hoo boy... Not at all. Bodes not at all...
Well, I'll keep you up to speed on the Job. I start Monday.

Sleeping In: Progress's Worst Enemy
"You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day."
I heard this quote a few days ago, and I guess I never realized how true it was/is. Having never worked in an Office setting, I haven't had much experience with the whole "being productive" side of things at work. Most of my jobs have been instructive, or on the occasion, retail.
Today, though, I finally got the picture. This is a double-edged sword, and can occur anywhere. This morning, I woke up quite late. So late, in fact, that it was the afternoon. If ever there was an impediment to doing work, it is sleeping in. Homework and Job Apps don't fill themselves out, it seems. Thankfully, tomorrow will be different. Not better, but Different.
