You gave her something to tell her friends anyway.
About this tiny, gorgeous little foreign girl who actually does book-keeping, who'd have thought it? Mildly amusing me yesterday was overhearing a group of schoolboys (14?). It was silly schoolboy humour, so I'm obviously still young at heart. Boy 1) Why have I got such itchy pits? They're really itchy! Boy 2) Maybe it's cancer. Boy 3) Maybe you're just Itchy-Pit-Boy.

I've been at my 2nd job what, a month and a half now? I was named Associate of the Month for our department.
 Too funny. I like that job. It's hard work and it's fun, well I and a couple others make it fun. So...

I'm really glad you've found something that suits you, infi. I felt like you kept going from chore to chore for years, and finally you have something that makes you smile, which is all that's really important. Good for you!

Thank you glatt and Clod.
I am much happier these days, Clod. I mean, not all the time, but I'm so much better than when I was in stress-world. I'm completely off any medication (after years of various concoctions), I'm physically feeling so much better and looking better as a result, and I laugh a lot more. I learned money isn't everything and I don't want to fall into the 'follow the money' trap again but my real stressors now do come from keeping up on the bills and trying so hard to cut back on, well, everything. But cable TV and internet and Netflix aren't everything either. I just know that if I keep feeling better and doing better, things will keep falling into place. And I do usually have fun while working hard, at both jobs. It's like I'm seeing the person I used to be again. People are drawn to me again, if that makes sense. So really, thanks, your comments mean a lot. |

Found a package from Amazon in the mailbox, I'd forgotten they'd said it would be delivered yesterday. Small box maybe 6x10x3 inches or so, with some headlight bulbs. I noticed about a dozen tiny black ants on the box which I promptly murdered with malice and forethought.
Opening the box I found hundreds of the little bastards and several dozen eggs attached to the box and the bulb packaging. They appeared to be upset about me killing their kin, but hadn't enough time to make up protest signs yet. Tossed the box in the tub and gave them a shower to cool them off. Must have done the trick because they were all taking a nap when I was done.

I think this line's mostly filler.

I wonder if there's a component of rugged electrical components* that attract ants, or if they just thought it was a convenient unoccupied hole.
* referencing this, plus the discussion of ants in the AC unit elsewhere.

Yeah, I remember that. I'm curious whether they moved in and made all those eggs during the maybe 18 hours in the mailbox, or took up housekeeping somewhere along the way?

Inf - fucking A, grrl. Delighted for you.
@bruce - 'malice aforethought' :p Though that line still made me chuckle.

Soy based plastics? Mice apparently like them.
