lbd_nytetraynHmm, what a week.
I'm working again, same company, different stuff now. I'm actually able to get more hours with the same pay and less problems with the people I'm calling now. And they seem to trust me well enough there; I'm one of three people even doing this (I'm calling people with a survey to see how their service was with a company fixing stuff like heating, AC, water heaters, etc.), and I'm even trusted by myself there when everyone else leaves, as well as managing my own breaks. It's cool, it's like having responsibility without it being an overwhelming burden. It's neat.
For once, the people who have problems are the most interesting to talk to. Sometimes I let them know as much.
I started Wednesday, which was a slight agony. I had to stay up through the morning on Tuesday waiting for the UPS guy to come, since he can't be bothered to come to our door when inside the building (but at least I now have Ultra Magnus and Skywarp, much rockage). This lead to me sleeping the rest of the day, and unfortunately threw my sleep schedule off pretty bad for the remainder of the week.
Thursday was about the same, and I was going to update PMO last night, but I guess everything caught up to me. I slept through my alarm, and Red was content to do that. So I got a pretty good sleep, even though that was my plan for tonight, when I didn't have to worry about updates tomorrow or work the next day. So, blast. Double-update tonight. But then, it's been a slow week, so it probably won't be that bad.
Going in today, though, I was good. I scheduled to come in a bit later, and wound up doing gangbusters on my numbers. Maybe the sleep helped? It's hard to say in something like this. It might've just been a good day.
And, the good day got better.
But first, my parents actually remembered they gave birth to me and e-mailed/phoned me on it, but I've not yet gotten back to them. Guess I can do that on Mother's Day. They did send me a little money in my NC account, though, which was nice.
Which leads me back to today. I go by Future Shop on something of a whim/hunch, as I do, and I'm browsing over the games to see if anything's dropped or whatever. Usual stuff, Lost in Blue 2, Diddy Kong, Sonic Rush...
...and after a moment, it hits me. Sonic Rush.
I grab the sole copy they had, and ask for a price check. Still $19.99, just like the last time I inquired, at which time they also informed me no stores had it and no stores were getting it.
F'n sold, thanks to my American moneys, of which I think this drops it by about fifteen.
Pick up some groceries on the way home, including a little something for myself come Sunday, and went to the subway.
And I dunno, somehow, for the first time in awhile, I just felt pretty good. Not like lucky-good as per last Saturday, but just sort of satisfied with myself. I kind of forgot what that's like, and I hope it's something I get to feel again.
Of course, the feeling was soon lost amidst the general discourtesy of people on the TTC bus who wouldn't get the hell up off their ass so a guy with his arms full of groceries and stuff could have a damn seat so he and his things don't go flying around the damn vehicle in motion... but why get into that?
So, yeah. Pretty good day, and a pretty good week.
And a disturbing thought hits me.
Last year, suffering from depression, it was RIGHT at this time that I was able to break out of it, when E3 was going on and I was motivated to make PMO. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Is the timing a coincidence? Or am I simply falling victim to some sort of cycle?
The uncertainty displeases me. And kind of puts a damper on things.
Way to go, dumbass. :P
