Hiiiiii, I'm hooooome!

I have become EVEN MORE BORING; is that possible? Yes. Yes, it is. But I Work now so apparently that makes my personal state of Tedium totally acceptable. I can live with that. I mean. I kind of like the people I'm with even though the work is pretty brain-numbing. I mean: it's numbing, but I kind of enjoying doing it? What can I say, I enjoy organising other people's messes. Metaphorical messes, natch; my quasi-ocd tendencies mean that Actual Mess is someone else's bag.

As those of y'all on Twitter know, I spend a good portion of my day either (a) travelling (bus/train/foot) or (b) waiting for travel to commence (bus/train/DON'T MAKE ME BREAK STRIDE FOR TRAFFIC GREEN MAN). My days are kind of insane. I wake at 5.50 (to The Killers omg), I catch a bus at 6.45, and then a train at 7.10. On arrival at my destination I put my legs through ritual torture for 30 minutes by basically power-walking to the office (to Rilo Kiley omg) where I arrive at 8.45. I then work until 13.15 when I break for lunch (30-45mins) and then I work until 18.15 when I begin the journey back to P. My train gets to P. at 19.50; I catch the 20.15 bus home and get to my door at 20.40. I go to sleep at 22.00 and I sleep through until my alarm goes off the next morning and I have to do it all over again.

If it wasn't for all the waiting, I would be relishing this even more than I already am. I don't know. I have stuff to do! I'm tired, but I'm sleeping through. I'm not fucking around all day and I watch things on my mp4 whilst on the train. My day has achieved the kind of rigour it hasn't seen since I took my 14+ SATs. IT'S KIND OF AMAZING.

But I hate waiting for transport.

Kind of relatedly: ugh, I sweat like oxen at push. I've taken to wearing a tee in the morning & then changing into my blouse, but it's wreaking havoc on my moisturising schedule. This is not a vanity thing, so much as a comfort thing: I need that emollient to stay put so that my eczema keeps at bay/doesn't recur. But I'm a little allergic to my own sweat, so it's killing me a little, and I'm having difficulty trying to figure out how to take the emollient with me.

Goddamn, though, I wanted to rip my elbow off the other morning.

Oh shit, Mother's Day.

Things will be better next week when I nail the schedule, and hopefully my legs will get used to the vigorous exercise. I have a corner desk with my back to the pen so I don't dare read/update LJ so I tend to do that first thing in the morning or last thing at night. I'm going to try reading gReader during lunch because coming home to that is kind of horrifying but, at the same time, I don't want to unsubscribe.

I am still reading LJ entries, though I barely have time to comment. I'm going to try to improve on that, probably at the weekend, which is when I'll deal with emails. I know a handful of you are waiting for me to get back to you, but seriously: I spend two hours a day at home, and one of those is taken up with getting dressed etc.

Reason why I am available today: Boss Lady (of community centre 'fame') was in C today and very, very kindly treated me to lunch. She then told me she'd wait for me after her meeting and drove me home. One of the trustees at the centre went on holiday to Australia and was ill on his return. That was a week+ a go; it looks like he may not come back. So I'm going to get in touch with The Trustee and see if she wants some help with the admin. I can't come during the week any more, obviously, but seeing as I have to run errands on Saturday mornings anyway, I'm thinking maybe I can go in and sort out things like emails and leaflets after 11am. I don't know how tired I'll be, but she helped me out a lot, so I'm going to see if I can help out.

Things I am going to do now: charge all my electronic peripherals; read fanfiction. Oh yeaaaah.

Oh god, just looking at your itinerary gives me the fear. *gnaws knuckles*

Still, I'm glad you're busy. I'm glad you've got a job, and a purpose (a porpoise?), and I'm really just glad you're happy doing what you're doing. I envy your ability to be in a mind-numbing environment and not go absolutely insane within the first three hours.

Also: 'oh shit, Mother's Day' is right.

I don't know what it is about me, but good things have come from having a regime to live from. I know that I'll get tired soon, but right now, Idk. I don't have to worry about a lot of things. I don't have time to worry about anything. I get up, I travel, I work, I come home, I sleep. It's good for now.

Hahahaha, it's definitely more porpoise than purpose. Seriously, I just file contracts and check spreadsheets and drink too much water all day.

Goddamn, I forgot about MD AGAIN. I mean, since this post. Wth.

You have a 2+hour commute? *shakes in horror*

but yay, rigor? I understand how it can be tiring and stimulating at the same time.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's okay once I get one the train. It's the half-hour walk at the end of it that kills me, heh.

I'm having difficulty adequately explaining it. I mean, the job itself is nonsense and the pay almost isn't worth it, but I don't have to think about anything else. I just get up and get things done. idk. As I said to twincy yesterday, it does away with listlessness.

Remind me of this comment when I come home wanting to massacre everyone in the office. \o/

I would flip out if I had that kinda schedule! My 7 am drive accross town can make me Ziva like. But whoop JOB.MONIES.ADULTHOOD!

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Job, yes; monies, not so much. lols.

ZIVA DAVID OH YES.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

I am enjoying it, even though it is basically spreadsheets and word files. re:sweat, if I could, I would, but I have to hightail it just to get to the office on time. Oh well. It's a nice place to walk. I'm trying not to think about what will happen when it rains, lol.

*hugs* Thank you :)
