I have to go straight to bed to go across town to help out another department in the morning. It should be fun but I need my sleep.

I really, really like pickled beets. They are seriously one of my favorite foods. However, they can be a tremendous pain to find unless I want to go to a store that's going to charge way more than they should ( Giant Eagle ). I have to stock up like crazy when I find them anywhere else for a non-terrible price. Then I feel like a doofus because I'll have like 20 jars of beets.They're pickled so they keep forever but it just feels so weird to have an entire shelf of beets in my kitchen.

I went grocery shopping earlier, but the little Vietnamese market by my place was closed for Lunar New Year so I had to go somewhere else. The same thing happened to me last year, when I had just moved into this apartment and was trying to explore the area.  I ended up going to Safeway instead but the one nearby is one of those really small neighborhood market stores and they didn't have everything I wanted, but I still ended up spending more than I planned to. While I was shopping I found a lucky envelope on the ground with a crisp $2 bill inside. Any normal person would be thrilled to find money, instead I just feel really guilty about not being able to return it. I even wandered around the store for a while with it in hand just in case someone came running up to me for it. Some poor kid lost their new years money, and they were probably really excited to spend it on a treat or something.

I've done it several times. Plus I've never gone through the whole "seal in a jar for 2 weeks" thing suggested online which makes it seem like a hassle. Mix up a nice vinegar or use a pre-prepared one, boil your beetroots. Cut 'em up and soak 'em. Totally permeated in 24 hours, maybe even less.

Sometimes you leave the two bucks in or swap real money for two bucks to keep the luck. Also parents will "hold on" to the lucky money for "safe keeping." Or to recoup losses from money they gave out haha.

You can even put them in a different location besides the kitchen until needed!

Oh, well I guess I don't feel so bad now. Anyway, it was in a bitchin' neon green Hello Kitty envelope that looks cool on my bulletin board. My problem today is that I'm kinda cold and tired and got absolutely nothing done that I wanted/needed to do. I'm also pretty torn between wanting to do nothing all day and feeling kind of cooped up inside. A good friend of mine wants to go out and drink, but I don't want to have to put on pants and leave the house. I also want food but don't feel like cooking it or spending money on it.  Yesterday I was motivated to do so many things, today I just want to sleep forever.

Similarly I always get annoyed with my colleagues at the call centre I work at because often they'll go drinking on the proverbial "school night" and come in the next morning feeling like poo poo after 2 hours of sleep. Then they get the nerve to whine about it. I have no sympathy for that, I don't care if it is a saturday night, your working from 7:00am-7:00pm on the following sunday, have a loving modicum of responsibility. If you have monday and tuesday as your weekend then fine, go out on monday night instead. Treat the days you ACTUALLY HAVE OFF as a weekend, don't bitch at me for trying to chat because YOU made a stupid decision and are paying for it, and if you are going to do this at least minimise the damage. Pubs sell food in england, not the best food but better than most fast food, hell I go to pubs for the food more than anything else if I feel like an elaborate hot meal. Food absorbs the alcohol (or if I'm wrong about that it at least mitigates the effects), drink water along side it to rehydrate and mitigate the hangover. Do some damage control you idiot. It also seems foolish that most people don't bother eating during a pub crawl, they wait until 1:00am when the only things open are Fat SAms or similar restaurants that sell greasy, salty garbage tier food that not only is sub-Macdonalds quality, it's also very salty. That'll just dehydrate you more and make the hangover worse. When I went out drinking once with work friends a few years ago, I actually got food at the first pub we went to, because I was hungry and it was about 7:00. The others actually mentioned regretting not doing the same when they saw my pie.

I am so loving sick of my iPhone forgetting my wifi. I leave the house and when I come back it's like "yeah there's no wifi here." WHY THE gently caress DONT YOU STORE MY WIFI IN YOUR MEMORY. I don't even realize until I look up and it's on LTE and I'm wasting my data. Goddamit this is so loving poo poo that I have to keep typing in my wifi name & password every time I come back home once I realize it's on LTE cause I look up. The OS is the problem and it's a piece of poo poo, and gently caress you apple/iPhone.

A co-worker of mine is a known alcoholic. I mention it because she's been arrested for drunk driving at least once since she was hired. Yesterday she ate my lunch when I stepped away because, "It smelled so good. I couldn't help myself!" Upper level management won't fire her because it's soooo much of a hassle. We are paying her and also babysitting her sloshed brain every day. Oh and now she's dating a cop. gently caress my life.

Getting drunk helps you forget your troubles temporarily. You do it in public because getting drunk alone at home is the behavior of suicidal people.

It's nearly midnight and it's still 30c. Again. This summer has been too hot and too humid. gently caress hot and sticky nights. I want my head to feel cold. Mind you, come July when I'm shivering and huddled up in the cold I'll be wishing for the heat again. Never happy.

These people are still randomly having spurts of hammer drilling. Like ok it's not at 2/3am anymore (or maybe I'm just sleeping through that since I'm now used to it) but it's still, randomly throughout the day, 10 seconds of BBZZZZZGGGGRRRHHHHGGHG. These people must have 500 holes in their walls.

I have new neighbors in the apartment next to me and i have a similar problem. The last couple that lived there may a well have been ghosts and i could never hear them moving around. The only time they ever made any real noise was when they had a blazing shouting argument one Saturday night. The new folks that moved in? They must literally run everywhere between rooms in the apartment. I can hear every loving footstep because they seem to be absolutely pelting around the place all the time. I'm convinced they just jump up and down on the spot as well sometimes. It's not like this is happening late at night or too early in the morning but it is loving constant throughout the day.

My gym (that I Iove in part because it has legitimate shower bathrooms that are nice and spacious) has instituted a rule where you can't use more than one towel. This annoys me because I like using one towel to dry myself off, and another on the floor outside the shower to dry my feet off and calm the irrational oh God I'm going to slip and fall stepping out of the shower fear I've always had, even though it's never happened and the floors aren't slippery at all. So either I'm going to either cheat and probably get chastised, or start bringing an extra towel.

Today on the bus some old guy started randomly chatting up two ladies next to him talking about his surgery where "they stuck tubes up [his] urethra" and "stuck a rod up [his] butt." And something about his groin. He didn't seem schizophrenic or crazy, just really nice and chatty  He looked like Roger Waters but with Einstein's haircut.

The other night I couldn't sleep so I was browsing SA on my phone and a hornet the size of a forefinger flew in to my room and crash landed into my face. I crushed it and I had to wash my pillow and sheet where I punched a hornet to death. Also, I'm eating soupy beans and beef chili with a fork.

Mom and I had a fight about foster kittens. In short, were burned out and need a break. Now I have an awesome dinner I am not hungry for, and my Sprite has gone flat because I have no interest in it. At work, the new guy got a flat tire. Rather than tow him to our usual repair shop, he was told to take it to the closest one, so now he's 40 minutes from the base and has been waiting for the new tire for about 3 hours. Because of this, all our usual route work went crazy, and the shop won't touch his backup camera issue, but another shop will, when it's something we can fix ourselves with some goddamn glue. So tomorrow I have to go in early to deal with this, and today I came in an hour early to drop another driver off at his van, because he picked a poo poo location to get an oil change at, and picked the busiest day of the week to take a 2 hour break waiting for his van, which again, hosed up everyone's routes for a few hours.
