buttons are not toys

That way while my classes are doing research tomorrow I will have something to do. 

And it could be fun.  Maybe even good, clean, educational fun.

It’s tragic really. 

Lately I’ve been cashing in on teachers who have broken themselves in some way, and I worked every day from March 21st to April 5th.  My bank account, at least, appreciates my efforts.  I had Good Friday off and we did family Easter that day, which was nice because I actually got to see some family members that I haven’t in a while, and my uncle told me how to get the wireless to work on my laptop so I should be good to go as soon as I try it out.  (In my defence he set up the network to not broadcast, it’s not like I cannot wireless, or so I like to think.)

Yesterday and today I am, of course, working, but schools are closed on Monday as well, so I am thinking of going shopping and visiting my brother.  It’s a friend’s birthday this week and I need to get her a gift, hence the ability to justify shopping, although goodness knows I will probably end up buying myself things I don’t really need.  Rest assured they will be pretty.

And that’s really all I’ve got.  Oh - I got my 5k time down to about 33 mins, so I figure if I keep working at it I might be able to get it to 30 mins, which would be very exciting, at least for me.  Here’s hoping the weather stays nice so that I can continue working at it.  I tend to wuss out if it’s overly cold.

Don’t you hate it when you are reading a book and you cannot predict how it is going to come together? 

It is driving me crazy! 

Also, I am reading it on an e-reader that I borrowed from a friend, so I can’t even flip ahead and read random pages to try and figure it out.

I am going to a Hallowe’en party tonight!

It’s been years since I have done that.  So fo course, I have the car all packed and am ready to go.  The downside is that I have to work today.  I had hoped that at least work might be busy enough for the day to pass quickly.

It does not seem to be obliging today.

It will probably be busy tomorrow when I am exhausted and don’t care.

WANT.

Wear sunscreen.

P.S. shouldn’t you really know this by now?

danhurray:

My adventure buddies need to be in Toronto, I’m restless today!

 You should adventure yourself to rural southwestern Ontario - I cannot promise that it will cure the restlessness - in fact it might enhance it - but at least there would be adventure involved.

And you would get to visit me of course.

because I sit here feeling obliged to accomplish something today, but have zero motivation to actually do anything other than nothing at all.

One of those days, I guess.

I feel rather torn:

On one hand, I haven’t accomplished anything relevant for a few days now, and I should probably work on homework of some kind.

On the other hand, I am sick enough to justify continued slacking off.

Thoughts?

There is a job fair in my faculty tomorrow.

Realistically, I am aware that I should look forward to the opportunity for gainful employment, especially when I don’t have to actively seek it out.

Mostly I am cranky about having to update my resume and wear nice clothes.
