Do you come with a manual?
Watching "The Dog Whisperer" makes me want a doggy even more. IT doesn't help that my brain goes "doggy, doggy, doggy, doggy!" whenever a dog breed I love passes me ;__;
But anyway. I didn't go to work yesterday because I figured it was better to feel well and truly rested so there wouldn't be any more breaks in getting my routine on. Totally worth it. The woman I've been meeting with in connection to the Project said something very sensible about my cold: "You've been living fairly sheltered [from other people and their germs] and now you're thrown into an environment where people are continuously streaming through, so it's not surprising you got sick."
She's dead pleased with my progress, as am I ^^
One thing I've forgotten to mention is a thought regarding the 'future'. Sometime this week I'll meet up with the boss and my internship coordinator to see how they think I'm getting along. If there are no complaints from the boss I'll stay on for an additional 2 or 3 weeks. That's as far as the initial internship period stretches. It can be prolonged but , and here's where my mind has drastically changed since the last time I interned somewhere, this is what I'm thinking:
If they're pleased with how I work after the month is up, then I either want some kind of employment or move on to some other place to intern at, where there's a possibility for a paid position.~
For me to think like this kinda shocked me at first. Like, is this way too cocky an attitude for me to be allowed to possess? xD It's nice to feel so ... focused, though. And motivated. I don't want to be part of this whole confusing/dysfunctional rat wheel of not being "well" enough but also not being "sick" enough, constantly being bounced back and forth between places that end up making it harder to get out of the wheel. I wanna be a free roaming rodent :p
Aside from that, I've decided to take a break from attempting to tackle the mistakes I made earlier on in the organizing process because it makes my brain shut down. Eeeeep >.>;;; Sorry Toots! *grovels* Kisses :3
It was fun fun fun to do, though ^^
Also, about the "progress" on my computer. Dad handed it in Thursday last week and today it's on the way to the repair guys. Hm, I wonder just how "fast" this Priority 1 tag is.

Dagger: It looked like the update list was more encompassing today *rubs chin* Hmmmm....
And yikes about that girl! O.o (Am I horrible for thinking it's kinda cool on some level? >.>)
T-C: Not sure where the bruise originates from ^^; It could've happened on the bus or maybe it was during work. I should carry a note book with me to keep track of which part of my body I injure, so as to keep track of my bruises origins xD;
Are you proud of me for taking an extra day off to recuperate? ;3
Shaow: Your comment made me LOLOLOL!!! Now I gotta look for that face you're seeing *giggles and hugs* Love ya loads, hun ^^
Schultzereen: Actually, School Bus Driver is a completely different subject matter entirely *braids imaginary beard* That species of bus driver is notoriously OK. I, to mentioned just one of many examples, have no bad memories of the ones I met in my childhood :)
This post is broken
For those who have no intention of reading beyond this point I'll give you the abridged version .... not xD Ok, ok. Just skip on over to the second to last paragraph in this entry if you're not up to exposing yourself to my embellis...Air to fill your soul with
Soooooo I'm mainly posting to show off the intro image I raved about a couple of posts back. But let's see if there's anything else to throw in the mix.
Today I went to see the internship-coordinator lady, who was very nice, and things feel positive on that front. She's gonna check in with the book store to see if they'd be willing to put up with me for a month and, provided they agree along with me being comfortable there, once that month has passed without any complaints on either end, we can talk about an extension or something. (this paragraph probably could've been structured better....)
Both the woman I met today and the one I've been meeting with for some weeks now have only good things to say about the manager of this book store and apparently "Project Collaboration" (which is what it's loosely translated to from Swedish to English) got to place some people to intern there in the past. Sounds good.
Yesterday I was mildly chocked to see melted snow on the roof windows. At first it didn't really sink in, despite seeing a very white landscape beyond mom's bedroom window but once I got downstairs it was pretty hard to deny that it indeed had snowed during the night. In fact, it was still snowing and would continue to snow on and off the day. Almost immediately after the fact sunk in the thought 'eh, winter's not over' struck me, which would never have occurred back in the day.
It used to be that 'winter isn't over until mid-April, at least'. Funny to see and realize so bluntly how the changes in climate have altered my approach/relationship to the seasons and the changing thereof. Like when I was a paper-girl. Usually around when the end of October - early November rolled in I'd start to worry about the snow coming down (my dislike/phobia for biking in snow stemmed from a nasty accident back in '98 when I took a nasty tumble). Nowadays I'm surprised if it snows in late December, haha.
But when it has snowed and there's a blanket of white crystals on the ground that the sun is shining down upon, bouncing off of, while crisp refreshing air surrounds you with equal potency, such as it did to me today, ... it's truly a wonderful thing.
End
