Sleeping In, Laziness, and Champloo
Yes, I managed to get out of work, today. Mostly because I didn’t think my job didn’t need me anymore after all the sites I’ve done in the past three weeks. TPH was always kept in mind as a temporary job, after all; and as such, when only one site with three wells was ready, I figured my company would no longer require my valuable services.
..Well, I was wrong (as I found out an hour ago), and I’m going to work for most of the rest of the week. >.< Which sucks big, floppy donkey dick.
In either case, I slept in. And to a person who’s spent the last three weeks getting up at 4:00, it’s a godsend. Yes, I can be the biggest slacker known to man. No, I have no shame over that. What’s more, I spent several hours of today relaxing upon the new furniture in my finished basement, watching something I’ve recently bought with what I could pull away from bills. Discs 2 and 3 of Samurai Champloo. Yeah, I know it’s still on Adult Swim. But like the dinosaur, it is becoming an extinct species. Before, it had roamed free in its natural habitat every weekday during the night. Now, the people at Cartoon Network have whittled its species down to every Sunday night. Soon, it will be but a pleasant memory beyond those who possess the series on DVD or copied material (Whom I lovingly refer to as “Butt-Pirates”); such is the fate off most, if not all anime. FLCL suffered a similar fate; the only exception to that is that I still lack the DVD’s for it. x.x Maybe that’ll change, when I finally get some income flowing in.
In either case, I managed to overcome my OCD towards watching a series in chronological order. And yes, I’m pretty sure it’s OCD if I buy Disc 2 of a series and am reluctant to watch it until I watch the first in its entirety. But…Yeah; I enjoy the series quite a bit. Granted, hip-hop’s never been my thing, but I can’t help but enjoy how it fits in…In a weird sort of way. =3 Besides, it has its moments where it kinda tugs on my heartstrings ever-so-slightly. Granted, that’s not so hard to do, but the movies/series that can do that without earning my cynical attentions is worth keeping. n.n
As for work, I’m beginning to hate it. Welcome to the real world, huh? But seriously, if anyone wants to get themselves on my bad side, all they’d have to do is wake me up early every night and have me drive around and/or work for 9 - 11 hours out of every day. My job is currenrtly wearing on two big pet peeves of mine: getting me up early in the morning, and restricting my personal time almost rediculously thin. Any benefits I would recieve from working overtime are wasted on the fact that all but a small percentage is going straight to my parents. Yeah; they’re pretty much pulling a 180* on me when it comes to paying for college. And they say that although my bills for this month have been paid, I owe them for all of the times they paid my bills. My mom’s made the grand estimate of $1,800.
…So they pretty much own my ass until the day they die. a.a Lovely.
