Work and Bones and Hair and Stufffffff

[msmoon]

Wow. So today started the days when there will no longer be an easy time at work. We’ve been having a slow period right now because a few of our companies are rearranging things, and thereby holding back on how many evaluations they do and send to us. For the past few weeks or so, we’ve been lucky to get over 30 a day, and sometimes less than 20. But today, we got 26 from Saturday’s mail, and then about 90 for today (and I say ‘about’ because I haven’t finished working on Monday’s mail-in, so I don’t have an accurate number). It was good though, because it kept the hours from dragging by, and I didn’t have to look for anything to do. I like it when there’s steady, even if extremely vast amounts, of work to do.

Oh, another thing about work, we got our new shirts in today. They’re kinda stiff right now, but I like ‘em. We’ve decided on the color code too. Blue Mondays, Black Tuesdays (because of Black Tuesday! Get it! That was my idea), Pink Wednesdays, Burgundy Thursdays, and Red Fridays (because there’s a group of people that wear red on Fridays to show support for the troops and I firmly believe our troops need all the support they can get).

Also, in the work bracket of things, everyone at work loved my hair even though I think I look like a ridiculous shaggy dog. Lacey says I just need to get a good straightening iron and take the time to straighten it. That was nice. Although, having my hair straightened right as I get to work doesn’t sound like a good idea to me =.= But they all said it looked really good. Even the ladies down stairs said they thought it looked nice. Maria saw me as she was passing by the kitchen and she said “Tracie! You cut your hair!” and I said, “You’re very astute. *makes repeated shooting motions with hands* I can’t get anything by you.”

After work, came home and ate with Mom and watched another episode of Bones, it was the one called The Man in the Wall. It was fun, although it confirmed that one should never watch shows like Bones that show corpses in all stages of decomposition and dismemberment while they are trying to eat. After that Mom told me the news.

It seems our renters’ family has decided to sell a house nearby, and our renters want to buy and live in that house. It’ll take a few months, but they’ve decided to move out and have their own home. This means they would be moving out of the A-frame! I’d been kinda stressing about asking them to leave, because they’ve been there so long, but it didn’t mean I didn’t want the Nexus any less. So this means we’ll be able to open up The Nexus and let it air out. We can clean it up and start taking measurements on the floors. Get a few estimates on how much a hardwood floor would cost and all that. It doesn’t mean anything will be happening faster than the time-table that I’ve already set up, but it does mean that we may be able to start working on things slowly ahead of time so that by the time we are ready to move in, we have the basics of what we wanted.

After that I showered...and then Mom and I tried to put a few rollers in my ridiculous hair. I swear, you guys, I was not born to be a stylist. I get so frustrated because I know I’m not doing it right, and I’ve no idea how to make it right. It just bugs me. I really should‘ve told the lady that I hate vanity, so I consider spending more than 15 minutes on my hair to be total nonsense. Honestly, who really cares? Hair doesn’t affect my ability to perform my job, nor does it influence my status as a human being….ok, I’m pressing the “Abort Rant” button now =.= Sorry. Anyway, I ended up just letting Mom section it off and blow dry it, because I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

We watched another episode of Bones because Mom was bored. This time it was one we’d forgotten called The Man in the Bear, which means we’ve managed to watch the first disc in its entirety. Yayness. I must say that The Man in the Bear has to be one of my favorite episodes if only because it’s just so funny. It almost makes you forget about all the disgustingness of the bear eating people and then finding out that there’s a cannibal eating people and such. One of my favorite quotes is from there too! It’s when Dr. Brennan says that the arm was sawed off someone and then the bear ate it. And the park ranger dude says “That’s not good—people getting’ sawed up and ate by bears.” Hysterical!

Then I e-mailed Scamp back (a rather long e-mail at that) and e-mailed my Twin back, and now I’m writing here. I think that’s gonna be all for tonight. I tried starting my new Furuba manga that came in today, but Mom was bored and wanted to watch Bones, and I’m just too tired right now to really get into it. Besides, 5:45 always comes early. Later, sunshines!
