It's my 300th post. Sorry about the title, I couldn't help myself.
Lots to cover.
-Getting moved to day shift at work. Praise your deity of choice. When done with praise, please ask for expediency. This is a good thing because:
*I will no longer work hours that are rotting me from the inside
*I will be able to have a life that does not revolve around sleeping and bitching
*I have more experience with/desire to do the sort of pastry work that is done during day shift (Cakes, tarts, tartlets, cookies, quick breads, muffins, scones, etc.
*Did I mention it's not graveyard?
*I get along famously with the girls that work during the day (Liberal agnostic baking misanthropes with potty mouths unite!)
*I can see myself working there for a long ass time (read:Career day, baby!)
*I'm tired.
I know that I am getting moved to day shift because my Gary Busy Boss told me so, but didn't give me a time frame. It would seem that the co-workers mentioned above have done some begging/demanding on my behalf, so, yeah, I'm hoping that this happens sooner rather than later.
-My mother is coming to visit next month for my bridal shower. I purchased her plane tickets today. This is, as she WELL knows, her last chance for 'redemption' (Read:Her being allowed to come to the wedding/take part in my life in any real way) in my eyes. She says that she will not be drinking at all while she is here. I'm holding my fucking breath. She keeps talking about how she is a totally different person, how I don't know how different she is, blah blah blah, well, I will believe it when I see it.
-My tightwad rich bitch aunt suddenly had a change of heart and is offering to send T and me on our honeymoon. She will pay airfare and offer up one of her houses to us. This reeks of her sons. I am nearly certain that her two sons (whom I love dearly) told her what a pain in the ass my family has been to me regarding my happiness as a whole. So, assuming there isn't a catch, T and I are off to Hawaii here in a few months.
-Speaking of travel, T and I are going to be going to NY in the fall, for this. One of my online knitting groups is renting out a flipping block of hotel rooms/a lodge, and we are going to Party party party and spend retarded money on yarn. T is coming because 1)He loves me and knows that flying kills me a little 2)We're going to be gone for a few extra days and may as well see what all the hubbub is about with NYC, as well as refresh my hatred for humanity as a whole and 3)I need someone to sherpa my yarn! (Plane tickets are AMAZINGLY cheap right now! I'm impressed. Not terribly impressed that it cost twice as much to get my mom out here than it did my friend C to get out here for my bridal shower, and she's coming from a touch (Read:A lot) farther away, but still! Cheap! It's cheaper for us to fly to NY than MT. I'm confused.)
-T got another promotion at work.
-I forgot about all the birthdays that are on the horizon (Mine? Really? Is it possible to forget your own birthday?) so I am under the gun a bit to get some shit DONE.
That's it, I think.
