I Missed You LJ!
Jul. 29th, 2011 09:50 pmOh internets, once again I am back in the glorious ranks of the unemployed!
Not that this is in any way surprising, since I knew when I joined up that the firm just needed me for this one project, which was due on Friday last week - not that we finished it on Friday, Dudeboss being the kind of procrastinating engineer that he is, but we did our best. And they actually found several days worth of extra work for me to do after that, but finally yesterday we had to admit that there just wasn't enough to do to justify me coming in. They have my number in case any more crises come up like this one, but for now, I am Not Working.
I interviewed for this job about two days after I got back from California, so I never really got the time off I had hoped for between finishing school and starting working. So that's what I'm doing now! I think this job gave me enough padding, money-wise, that I can stand to wait at least a couple of extra days before I start job hunting in earnest next week.
And I have to admit, I do like this lazy free time thing. Today I baked bread and read pervy manga and watched Deathly Hallows Part 1 for the first time. And I've been making![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
colourofsaying help me plot out ridiculous ideas for fanfics I will never write. Like the Wicked/FF7 fusion where Cloud is Elphaba, Zack is Glinda, and Sephiroth is Fiyero. Or the one where Zack is the inventor of the Super Shinra SOLDIER Special Duluxe Sandwich, and Cloud has permission to shoot anything that comes out of his fridge on sight. Or the one where Zuko, Cloud, and Martin Crieff are in a support group seminar for angsty, socially awkward failbenders where they do self-esteem exercises and learn how to accept hugs and eat cookies.
(Look, I spent three days at work proofing site-specific nuclear hazard safety guides with no livejournal and a lot of musical theater on my pandora station. This is the kind of thing my brain does when I treat it like that.)
And this weekend there shall be Deathly Hallows 2 and story time and birthday cake. :)
