My New Year's Resolutions
Jan. 2nd, 2012 09:52 pmI know, I know, I'm clogging the hell out of your FList. Sorry.
1. Post to LJ more.
2. Comment more, lurk less.
3. Don't let other people make me hate what I'm writing.
4. Write more.
5. Lose weight and get in shape.
6. Be less negative.
7. Make my resume suck less.
8. Find a career, not a job.
9. Stop settling for things because I think I don't deserve better.
10. Feel better about myself.
I might be on a small depressive swing.
Oct. 2nd, 2011 07:04 pmJust cried for about five minutes straight because I couldn't make myself stop.
There isn't even anything particularly horrible going on at the moment, just a bunch of little things and the realization that I have almost zero control over anything in my life.
My bank account is -$300 (still, not again) because Ma and CJ don't care.
My phone barely works and Sprint won't do anything but send the same shitty model phone to me, and I am stupidly behind on my bill.
I still have no battery for my laptop, and will probably not have one by WinCon because I have a couple of dollars in PayPal that will be eaten by my bank if I try to transfer so I can buy one.
I live out past where the busses stop and Ma and CJ refuse to put me on the car insurance because they don't think I can drive Ma's Charger—which means I literally cannot leave the house unless Ma wants to take me somewhere.
I have a $105 paycheck from my orientation day at work that I can't even cash because Me doesn't like leaving the house. I also need new shoes for work, a knee brace, and a bra that doesn't have underwire (because mine sets of the metal detector and cuts five minutes each off my 20 break and 30 minute lunch every night).
My job's hours means I can only talk to my friends on Saturdays and Sundays.
I leave for WinCon in a week and a half and have no idea how I'm paying for the room or food or if I'm getting a tattoo or what (fuck you, it's literally the only money I spend on myself all year that isn't needed to survive) because I have to get paid by check and have the above issues with a bank account. And Ma talked to CJ who apparently decided what I'm doing with/for money and how it's working, but they'll tell me eventually.
Oh! I almost forgot. Also, the whole "going back to school" thing I wanted to do is probably not gonna happen because I don't have $130 to pay Phoenix College to release my transcripts to the University of Phoenix so that I can get the loans and financial aid I need.
Also, sleep and net issues means I'm posting MiniBang tomorrow instead of last Friday, and I am fucked because after final beta I am below the 10k minimum and I have to figure out how to up it without it dragging.

I also still work for a company that makes me more and more paranoid about making posts here where I might say anything less than awesome regarding said job, because they are probably reading this right now.
Anyway. Poll time! I have a group of friends, and we cheer when we are home and comfy enough to achieve no pants time. There is one of us who prefers PJ pants time to no pants time, and that makes me wonder about comfy clothing choices of the average fangirl. So, please, take this poll and pimp it out, because I really am curious.
[Poll #1774703]
ETA: Pretend that I can type and that says "fangirling" in the poll there."

Dec. 10th, 2010 08:44 pmThe CW crapped out for me 15 minutes into Show. So, while I wait for my torrent to finish, you get a meme that is considerably lamer coming from me than it would be from just about every other person on LJ.
Instructions:
1) Make an entry with the filled out form
2) Have your f-list describe in the comments how they pronounce your username, what they originally thought it said/meant

kuh-lex mun-key ate-ee-nigh-n (Pretty much like it looks) |
The "Clex" actually came about right before I was big into Smallville fandom, and then got kept because it fit. Monkie is because I am often compared to one (I can pick up things with my toes and used to climb trees a lot). The 89 actually is from Smallville fandom—that's the year Clark crashed into Smallville in their canon. |
"Clex" From Clark/Lex, which originally described me as what would happen if Clark and Lex ever had a kid, I think (this was, clearly, before we knew about Kon's Two Daddies). "Monkie" from "Monkey" which has many meanings including the primate, to play or trifle idly, to imitate, ape, mimic or mock, to cause to appear ridiculous, and an enduring and often vexing habit or urge. |

But my work is trying to kill me. Have an example of the type of stuff I am learning (this is me dumbing it down for my notes);
I keep meaning to make a post that is at least somewhat substantial, but I am fucking exhausted by the time I get home because I spend all day using my brain to decipher things.
[Poll #1645442]
Effective CPM (eCPM): A method of figuring out a CPC ad's effective cost-per-thousand impressions. This is found by a complex system that compares bids, CTR, and other relevant factors on the CPC ad. If the estimated eCPM is higher than the other user's actual CPM bid, the CPC bid will win the auction.

Just spent close to THREE HOURS working on one account, missed lunch, and now have a 27 minute lunch instead of my hour because I was also scheduled for a focus group that tends to run long from 1:30 to 2:15 AND MY BRAIN IS TWITCHING.
On the plus side, I have spent the majority of the morning before this plotting out Pink Ribbon'verse stories.
On the minus side, I should be trying to pick my Big Bang

Just got traded to a new TL (Team Lead: aka boss/supervisor) with a few other people, promptly followed by an hour and a half meeting that wasn't too bad except for how it started when I usually have lunch.
And then when I get back from lunch I have to swap seats and I'm moving next to a cool guy (even if he IS a Marvel) and the annoying chick I don't like who I had for side-by-sides.
Today is annoying, but not yet bad.
In other news: I still don't have my W2s, I have not been able to dye my hair since early October, and my laptop's fan is still broken so it gets so hot it hurts to type with my left hand after about an hour.
Y it no can b money tiemz nao?
IN OTHER NEWS. BOYS TOMORROW! Aw, crap, and I have to do my Picture Post tonight too. Gotta remember that when I get home.
