Today a truck at work caught on fire. I'm saddened I didn't get to see this happen, but I did get to call the tow truck and mechanics and tell them to make sure to battery cables were disconnected before they towed it to the show. Didn't want it to burst into flames again.
I already need another vacation. Today was the day that never ended. It was like running up hill on a mountain of marbles. Tomorrow is going to be worse...
Ah well, at least I'm busy, busy, busy.
Besides work being an utter chaotic nightmare, I'm cleaning my room--which is almost as stressful. I made the mistake of going shopping with my mom the other day. I hate shopping with her because I always buy stuff. This time was no different. We went looking for school supplies and stuff. Pretty simple. Except I came home with a new computer desk and a speakers for my computer. *heavy sigh* Really though, I got a good deal on a nice desk with a hutch. And the speakers are good ones that were on sale too. 150 bucks for everything, which I can't complain about. I needed a computer desk BADLY and my speakers were starting to kaput too.
Unfortunatly, that meant I had to build something. I got halfway through putting the stupid desk together only to realize the assholes didn't give me enough of the long screws. I had to race to store to buy some. Of course they didn't have the right size, but I got the next closest and made them work. *muwahahaha*
That was yesterday. Today it feels like I've been lifting elephants. My whole body aches and I have--I kid you not--a screw driver shaped bruise on my hand. Not to mention my wrist hurts like a son of a bitch.
My room is a total disaster. I've got so many books I don't know what to do with them all. There's no room for them really, so I've been making piles of stuff that has got to go. A ton of manga and dvds are waiting sadly for a box(s) to be packed in. Not only that, I can't believe how much CRAP I have. Just junk I never throw away that sits around taking up space.
This project will take me at least a week or two. I haven't even started on the closet or under the bed (scary).
Sometime in the near future I need to buy a new futon and a new stand for my TV. But that's a ways off and I'm not up to building anything else anytime soon.

I've got 14 stacks worth the comics and game magazines just sitting against my walls. Seriously, have you ever seen Read or Die? Looks like I just moved in, but I've been here 7 years.

*cries*
Posted by: Zoso at July 12, 2006 09:11 PMBoth sound like the ultimate challenge. I love to clean, organize, and catalog. I consider it a very fun pastime for any given day. In fact, my parents say it's developed into an unhealthy obsession, which I may add, they exploit to their benefit whenever they can.
Ten years from now, I'll probably drive my wife insane with my neatness. Oh, I'm not a control freak by any means, it's just the extent of my neatness. I organize the the mail ads, crayons, cutips, soap, dishes, books, papers, spirals, internet bookmarks, clothes, the spice rack, shoes, videogames, consoles, console controllers, memory cards, water, vegetables, sodas, fanfiction, my dresser, CDs...Maybe it is an unhealthy obsession?
I love to clean, organize, and catalog.
Are your services for hire? *laughs*
