The state of me....

calime...or something. Mostly, something, if something is defined as random ramblings about the rather sucky immediate life and times. In no particular order.
Work is...worky. I cannot say it sucks outright, because it doesn't, but the amount of it at the present and the non-existent feedback and the contradictory, well, orders I get combine into one slow simmering suckage, hence my attitude towards it could definitely use some improvement too. And it looks like the next few weeks will see me travelling quite a bit, some of it rather pointless, and I am not happy about that. The rules to remeber for the future should probably be on the lines of : "Never trust in Norwegian IT people" (which, well, not new, not any more) and "The less people know about local conditions, the more likely they are to give you all-knowing directions which they call advice." Also, "Everything happens at the most uncomfortable time for it." I think the last one is Murphy's Law.
It's damn cold outside, and will probably continue so for some time. Minus 18 Celsius presently and I don't even want to think where it'll drop at night. I'm glad I managed to replenish my woodblocks stores before the cold wave hit.
I managed of course to catch the next virus that has been passed along between people at work, so after two fevered days at work I took Thursday and Friday off. Not really happy about that, but then, what else can one do.
Due to aforementioned irritating amount of work, the fannish side of me has been pretty deprived. I did take a day entirely off RL yesterday:) and watch the newest NCIS, also all recent Supernatural eps in row. It made me feel immensely better *g*.
On a good side, I've finished a considerable chunk of freelance translation today. On the other hand, I still have over 40 pages of stuff to translate over the weekend. And I'm already fed up with organic selenium and its vast benefits to the livestock. But, one should never look askance on a chance to make honest money, now, shouldn't one?
For some weird reason I've alos decided that I should listen straight through the 40+ hours of music on my hard drive...you know, it makes a good background for translation work, which will probably take as long, too.
I think I'll make some food and have a beer and maybe not do much else tonight. I am severely conflicted, because my steadfast loyalty to the local brewery has been put on trial. The competing brewery from The Northern Half of the country has came up with a delicious copper-coloured abbey-type brew. *sigh* Maybe loyalty is overrated. Especially if it means I could potentially buy less of the Newcastle Brown import and more, well, more local beer.
And the latest Supernatural ep should finish downloading by tomorrow morning the latest...world isn't such a bad place, after all.

I'm a generally unfuckwitted, liberal, tight as fuck, relatively well adjusted human being!
See how compatible you are with me!

I'm particularly tickled by the "generally unfuckwitted" part. Maybe I should get a t-shirt with the text.
