Behold, my triumphant return to posting! For those wot still care, here is what has been going on in my life:
1) I have been working overtime, every other Saturday since last Octoberish. The money is very, very welcome, but it is very draining. Starting the first week of August for me, and next week for Awesome Co-worker J (K is awesome too, for the record, but he chooses not to work as much OT as me and J) we are going to start working late in addition to working on Saturday. The reason for this is that we have been slammed for longer than I have been working at Storage, and we have at least 2,000, yes 2,000 books that need to be reshelved with more arriving twice a day every day. OT is not about "catching up" it's about, in J's words "falling behind more slowly." Shelving OT is brutal and when I am done, I generally come home and take a nap.
Speaking of home:
2) I moved at the end of June. It was a long time coming, and I started planning for it in January. I'm still in Philly, but more western than before. My new apartment is fantastic, and cheaper than my old one, and my rent includes high speed internet. My old landlords 'lost' the last month's rent I paid to the old-old landlords (building was sold 2-3 years ago). For some strange reason they seem to think that their mistake is my problem and they are trying to get me to pay them $590. I confirmed with the old-old management company that not only did I pay this money, but that it was transfered to the old landlords during the sale, so I know I am in the right in this situation. I am declining this request and possibly lawyering up.
3) I washed my phone. This is not a good idea. But if you are clumsy and flaky like me then I highly recommend getting the insurance on your phone if you haven't already. Phones are expensive if you are not getting a new contract or if you are not qualified for an upgrade. Really expensive. The insurance deductible is not.
4) I am going to San Francisco at the beginning of September. I was not sure that I would be able to afford to travel this year, but I ended up finding a really cheap ticket.
5) My job is moving. We are not sure when. But the area we are in is about to undergo some major redevelopment, and if you look at the artists renderings, the parking lot that we are under has been replaced by a high rise. The other university from whom we rent wants us out ASAP. Rumor has it that our university has a sight that they are in negotiations to obtain, but nobody bothers to tell me J or K all that much, after all we just work there. My old boss would have totally kept us in the loop. I miss her. My new boss (who was actually my first boss ever) is really nice and Canadian, but she is more focused on the program that she runs and less focused on us. She is our "interm" supervisor whatever that means. But she signs our time sheets and doesn't micromanage so it's all good.

Happy Birthday

A very, very Happy Birthday to the one and only
empress_jae. I hope you have a wonderful day and that the next year is filled with happiness and joy.
Because I think that this may come in handy soon:
For those of you who do not know
witchdragon is my sister. Not my sister-in-porn not my sister on the astral plane, but my actual born of the same parents, raised togther sister. And while I have no doubt that she, being a fabulous and remarkable person, is more than capable of taking care of herself, I have to say that passive aggressive comments directed towards her will earn you a smackdown from me as well.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled PrOns now.

Step 1: Put your itunes on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 22 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own.
( For the record, I feel shame )

Happiest of Happy Birthdays to Aprilkat.
I wish if people had a problem with me then they would have the balls to fucking say something instead of acting like passive aggressive two year olds.
I'm just sayin' is all.
I'm just sayin' is all.
AWWWWWWWW FUCK YEAH
Thanks iTunes for fucking up.

Happy Birthday to Lalas. I was out and about yesterday and away from keyboard. It was sort of scary.
I guess I am screwed no matter what I do. If I don't make a big deal about my birthday because I hope that my friends will care enough to remember, no body does.
If I do make a point of mentioning it and having the month and day displayed here and at IJ, people still pretend like it and I don't fucking exist.
I give up. Everybody has a fucking birthday except me.
ETA Thank you to those who DID remember: Empress_Jae, Violettefemme, Witchdragon, Lala and Libitina

There are 24 shopping hours left until my birthday. I enjoy the following things:
-Minions, preferably of the young bendy male variety.
-Tasers, the higher voltage the better
-non sequentially numbered twenties, but if you only have C notes those will be acceptable.
-Lush
-Chocolate
-Coffee
-Porn
You may resume normal activities now.
ETA By "young" I OF COURSE mean 18+ I do not condone child labor (outside of the garment industry, those tiny hands are so nimble)

*Waves to the motherfuckingasscunts nice people who are protecting me from teh hott EVOL OMG porn.*
Boysex ishot like woah bring it on BAD and evOl and I read it all the time would never sully my immortal soul with such filth.
Seriously, I am certainly not the first person to post about this, but I really think that this whole situation sucks and that those fucking bastards over at the WFI are nothing more than homophobic repressed bullies who can't stand the fact that not everybody is like them. I am also ashamed, ASHAMED of LJ/6A for rolling over and letting these fucking asswipes fuck us all in the ass with no warning and no lube. I loved LJ, and part of me still does, but I am seriously rethinking continuing to give money to a company who has so little regard for its users who, are PAYING them, and who clearly hasn't read the bill of rights in, like, ever. I am not deleting or anything but this situation has given me a lot to think about.
If anybody wants it, the phone number for LJ/6A is in my user info.
