I don't want to go to bed. When I go to bed, it's tomorrow morning and I have to go to work!  True, I quit that job soon, but until then, it's a pain. Every bl**dy day! ...one more week! |

Well I had to talk to the person I've been profiling. He was harassing a friend of mine (long disgusting story) so she wanted me to talk to him and see if I could get through. I pretended I didn't know him for awhile and then I finally revealed who I was. Happy side was that I sent him into a bit of a panic.  |

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Boy troubles, of all things. Well, more like the trouble of too many boys?
I'm not really one to date people. I'd rather have friend/partners rather than boyfriends/girlfriends. I have a lot of trouble focusing all my time and emotional energy on one deep relationship right now and would rather have a couple partnerships where there is no deep romanticism. Call me shallow or cold, but that's how I am.
Problem is, despite having one fantastic friend/partner at the moment, the other one is hellbent on actually dating me and I don't know how to break it to him that I don't date, but I'd take him on as a friend/partner if he'd be ok with it. Other problem is, I don't think he'd be ok with it, but I enjoy his company.
On top of that, my current friend/partner is one of his close friends. Awkward. Should I just not mention anything and politely turn him down? This is the first time I've had this problem and I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want any drama because of it. *le sigh*

getting paperwork, needing to be filled out on the 14th, on the 16th. Failure to comply gets my benefits canceled.
I swear I hate these people more than anything that springs to mind right now.
*Update edit. I few paniced phone calls and and hectic drive to the local office and hashing things out. I have an appointment for next month and fortunately for me the paperwork I mailed a week ago to tell them about my having part time work now means that my benefits are being canceled... to be replaced by the first full medical coverage I've had since I was twenty one. With no copay. I can now afford to see a doctor, and if I'm luck a dentist that takes my benefits, and possibly a nutritionist (I've known more about nutrition than many of those I've consulted thus far but it never hurts to have documented and assisted breakdowns of conditional requirements). Goodness maybe a good chemist could work with me to design cold/flu relief, pain relievers, fever reducers and and perscriptions that might come up. As it stands anything commercially produced runs the risk of killing me if it doesn't just make me sicker and cause more pain.

Mother broke the glass dome for my antique anniversary clock. Not her fault (well it was, but not like she was being malicious in breaking it), but now it leaves me with the headache of trying to replace it (the dome, that is. Not the clock itself, which still works).
My my, are glass domes are expensive!

There seems to be this thing called Murphey's Law...it's something I'm very well acquainted with. I tried re-arranging furniture, as I'm moving in with my lady (which is so awesome) but the move has been about as smooth as it was from New York City to Texas, so not very. Today I've spent working on switching all the furniture in her, well our, room and it turns out that one outlet nearly fell out of the wall when I removed the power strip from it, the second does not have a faceplate (the easiest to deal with right now), and the third is not working at all. So these are now on the top of that ever growing to-do list. However, as I right this I am really overwhelmed with happiness since we're officially moving in together, so this might have been better posted in the What Makes You Happy Thread.
The other thing is finalizing my becoming officially Texan, figuring out my move of the rest of my belongings during the summer, how to pay for college...there is a lot on the plate and I will be glad when it is over.

James for many years my Mother has been careless with my delicates. She has broken flying model aircraft, once pushed a Morgan sports car off it's stand, the worst one being a model bus which I had made for my Dad- I'd made the bus exactly as he would have driven it, and Mum just knocked it off it's shelf- there was no reason for her to go near it. And my last model railway, in storage at her place cos I had nowhere to put it, suffered 'erosion' over a period of five years. |

Unfortunately, drama is going to be had. In particular if the one cat's a close friend of Mr. Hellbent. My suggestion? Disregard relationships-acquire currency! Then again, I'm not one to be giving advice-it was my GOAL to have as twisted and tangled relationships as I could in high school... Probably NOT the person you should be talking to on this! Best of luck, though! |

My fiance and I got lied to and pretty much used. Had a hunch from the beginning that something did not seem right. Of course nobody listens to hunches...oh well, such is life.  2 tanks of gas down and we are both smoking again from the stress of what we believed had happened and then the stress of realizing what fools we were. |

Have you tried here: http://www.glass-domes.co.uk/I did have a look there last night (you know you are a steampunk when your first reaction to a problem is to check BG to see if anyone else has had the same problem...)- and the one I needed cost £42 without VAT. Which was twice the cost of the clock in the first place and prompted my Father to put his foot down and say "your Mother is not paying that much for something you originally got for £20"... I did manage to buy one off of ebay, for a very reasonable price, from this place: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/theclockpartstoreThey do new clock domes, in glass, in a variety of sizes- someone else here may find the link of use, knowing how popular they are for housing our various creations. |

I used to work in a Royal Mail parcel sorting office and I promise you no matter how well it's packaged it will not survive in one piece. You would not believe how the postal workers treat your fragile goods. |

And the colonial mail as well. I have a friend that lives a 45 minute drive away. Due to circumstances we choose to write letters to each other between visits. Unfortunately, my mail goes to Waco to be sorted (45 minute drive in the other direction) and her mail goes to Houston to be sorted (again at least an hour drive in the wrong direction) then mail trades places, Houston to Waco or vice versa, then makes it's way to the recipient. Because of the convoluted route, two people living 45 minutes away from each other receive maybe one letter a week from the other because there is a 4 day delay between when it's mailed and when it's received. Incredibly aggravating. |
