- People who talk incessantly in public with a penetrating or shrill voice I suppose have never been annoyed by having to hear someone talking incessantly in public with a penetrating or shrill voice. Perhaps these people are happier than me. I read a thing on McSweeneys about Women who Live, Laugh, Love and it was funny and then I saw that my nastypants coworker who hates everyone and is actually named Nastypants has a coffee mug that says Live, Laugh, Love. Actually Live, Love, Laugh. It should also say, in her case, Be Mean. Ha! Zing, Nastypants! This is an unexpectedly spiteful entry so let's talk about my hair now. That hogshead hairbrush is great! Except for when you want to have defined curls, which, you know, you do sometimes. Anyway, I need to go get my hair trimmed again and I think I might get some bangs cut. Previous experiences with bangs were sordid but that's because I think I tried to be too minimal. This time I think I'll get real official (but long, in case it turns into a disaster) good-sized bangs. They'll be great when they're first cut but as soon as I get my hair wet I know I'll regret it. And I need something to regret. So maybe I'll try to get an appointment for next week or the week after. And then I go to California for five days! I'll take 4 days off work that week - woul take the whole week but we're always so fucking busy and expected to martyr ourselves. My one smart and not-mean coworker is quitting and we're not getting a temp (it hath been decreed) so we'll be down three people, really, which will make it a laugh a minute, as it has been for the last goddamn year and a half. I do need to get out of this town and do plan to this year - September, need to get in a good running season and do all those races I've got on my calendar. September is my plan (but we'll see what happens, eh). Meanwhile, fuck my fucking job. I've done some museum research this week -I mean, I did some research for a museum. Maybe that will turn into a consulting or research gig? It would be awesome and I really loved doing the work. I haven't loved my work since I retired from housekeeping, and that was many years ago. Desk jobs = no fun. They don't even pay that well. The five day forecast for San Juan, ever since I've been checking it (two weeks), is absolutely perfect. Sunny, high of 82, low of 72. Every day.
