May 2011
I'm fading.
fast.
My timing is off
For my first day on a normal day shift it seems I didn’t quite make it where I wanted to go on time. And quite frankly, I’m sleepy. I couldn’t go to bed at a reasonable hour yesterday cause I’m not used to it. But I’ll work out those kinks in a few days I hope.
I don't mind being tired at work
because I stayed out too late the night before because some band was playing or whatever.
I’d much rather do it that way then never be able to do anything besides go out late nights to bars because I’m working all the hours you can do any other thing.
I'm old.
Okay I knew that before tonight, but I try not to act my age. There’s not only no sense in it, I have no idea what activities should be appropriate for “my age” exactly. And quite frankly I have a feeling I would mostly hate whatever they are.
I moved to this town not only because there’s Rock and Roll here, but because the scene skews generally older and I’m still...
My last day of exile
Tomorrow I rejoin the world on day shift!
Which is a weird thing to day since I would have sworn I had a traditional office job until I ended up on evenings and weekends somehow. Truth is I’d have agreed to anything to get out of doing the job the company assigned me when they shipped my job to California.
A year later, almost to the day, I finally get a chance to try to live the life...
That's why the baby's been sleeping in the bedroom...
Woke up this morning and my little orange kitty jumped into bed with me. He was sleeping in the doorway like he’d been doing for the last week or so.
I was petting his fur and enjoying his purring while we relaxed awhile on this holiday Monday off work. Normally I get Mondays off so its not that unusual for me, but I’m going on a normal people shift like normal people work next...
I keep losing stuff today.
Just today. Weird.
Waiting on a friend for dinner
The problem with waiting on someone for dinner is that I’m hungry. And I haven’t eaten. Because were going to go for dinner. And now he’s called to say he’s going to be another half hour. I might pass out from starvation before he gets here.
notbettynotcool asked: I know exactly how you feel. That's how I feel about my facebook. There's a questionable photo of me on someone's fb and I hate it.
I didn't want to lock down my facebook.
I’ve been blogging my life online since the mid-90’s and I really didn’t see why I should make my any parts of my facebook private until today.
I’m not worried about living my life publicly, but seriously when someone posts an unattractive picture of me eating and looking fat with food hanging out of my mouth and fat hanging out of my dress, my X-boyfriend from 1987...
Stop
tagging pics of me on facebook where I look ugly.
I’ll have to try much harder to be cute all the time in public from now on.
Sometimes
when I wake up with no kitty in the bed and call out for my little Flashy Man to come join me, I look down at the foot of the bed and see that he’s actually been right there in bed with me the whole time.

You have a blog?
My Bartender: You have a blog? What's it about?
Dawn: Mostly about cats and Metal. \m/
My Bartender: You have a blog about cats and Metal?
Dawn: No! It's about my life. It just turns out to be mostly about cats and Metal.

Random Day Off
They jacked my work schedule around so much I had to stay home today so I didn’t go into overtime this week, so I’m enjoying a day off for no reason with nothing to do.
I spent most of it so far in bed with my orange kitty.
Gonna return the cable box and donate some clothes and shoes to Goodwill before the day is over.
I buy new clothes and shoes all the time, but I try and get...
Coliseum --- Official Relapse Records Band Page →
I went to see Coliseum tonight. I pretty much did it all wrong.
Started off by turning up later than I should have. Because I got off work so late. But that’s my last late night ever since I go on day shift starting Saturday and normal business hours here in another couple of weeks, so I thought I’d go out and celebrate having an actual shift change.
Up till now its been...
Celebrating my new work schedule
and they say .. but umm.. can you come in this Saturday?
….and also next Saturday….
They had a meeting
and decided to give me normal hours at work. Feels like victory.
Reinstalled my phone software
it needed it badly and since no one was trying to call…
My hair
looks nice.
First rule of getting stood up
is go out anyway.
But I’m going out tomorrow so whichever.
The idea is not to sit home feeling sorry for yourself.
But I met this guy in a bar while I was drunk and I couldn’t remember his name.
He remembered mine, found me on facebook and asked me out.
I thought that was kinda cool cause I forget new people if I’m not standing next to them.
I said yes.
He forgot the...
Doing my hair waiting for a totally new guy to...
Either we will go out, or I will just have really good hair.
Just canceled the cable
The $40 a month I save will go directly into my gas tank.
I quit watching The Event and started watching The...
Saw too many commercials for it during my weekend Chuck catch-up. Had to check it out.
Only became interested after seeing its not American Idol format. Which is so boring anymore.
And Frenchie Davis gets to be on this show. Most of all I like that its fast. They cut out everything you don’t need.
I’ll keep watching this.
Can't feel too sorry for myself
but I am sort of underwhelmed with my shift change at work.
Just the same, I will once again be able to go to exercise classes and/or happy hours. And best of all they’re going to quit making up days and times for me to come in/be off.
This month where I was working randomly mostly when other people weren’t really sucked a whole lot. Last time I get a professional job at a big...
Oh and can you work overtime next week?
Dawn: Are you freaking kidding me? Now I work all the hours.
You can come in days starting tomorrow!
Boss: You can come in days starting tomorrow!
Dawn: Oh great! Finally.. but um... I have late-night plans all the rest of the week since that's my time off.
Boss: Oh... well you can come in days starting next week!
Dawn: Ok that's cool. I've been waiting for my shift change for forever. I can't wait to get off Saturdays.
Boss: Oh.. well.. we still need you to come in Saturdays. But you can have Mondays off.
Dawn: That's not a normal schedule. I've been "next in line" for a normal schedule for about six months now.
Boss: I know but we need to get new people trained to take you off Saturdays.
Dawn: **sigh**
I'm watching The Event
Its the only thing left on my DVR which I intend to give back and cancel my cable as soon as I’m done watching.
But just between you and me, I don’t think I’m actually watching The Event. It’s just sort of on.
The battle I've been fighting today.
I enjoyed the rapture immensely.
Probably because I didn’t expect it to be true.
But then really not that many people did.
The party was fun and the discussions were thought provoking.
And I really liked having a topic of discussion that was fair game for everyone.
Even random complete strangers.
I met a lot of new people that way.
But somehow in the aftermath it seems that the news...
