So, today is the last day for NaBloPoMo.
I am so psyched that I don’t have to write every day after this. I’ve taken the Blog365 link down since I’m not going to be doing it anymore.
I hope you guys had a good month, a good Thanksgiving, and hopefully I haven’t bored you to tears (or worse).
so work hasn’t really been all that good.
i seem to be messing up alot, and the only time one of my supervisors talks to me is when i do something wrong.
actually, come to think about it, the only time i really talk to any of my coworkers is when i mess up or to keep myself from messing up.
i have a feeling that they’ll be glad to not have me around come january.
of course all this is exacerbated by the fact that i don’t have my meds.
i left them in the truck (where i usually keep them), and that’s down at home because it needs to get serviced. i’m using my sister’s car until tomorrow night.
and i’m up here, trying to keep my head above water without them.
i don’t really know what to do, because some really bad decisions are looking like they’re easier to follow through with than the good ones right now. it doesn’t help that i don’t know many people here, and the people that i do know are the same people that i don’t have the best relationshipw with to begin with.
and to make things worse? i ran into one of the resident directors from curry at work today. not only was he a resident director, he was the one that had to deal with me when i had to be sent to the hospital back in february. talk about awkward.
and, to top it all off, i found out that i only worked 20 hours over the past week and a half. 20! i found this out when i picked up my check, and it came out to $149. luckily i’ll be working 40 hours between now and next saturday, so that should double it. hopefully even more, since payday is every two weeks and i’ll be able to get more hours between the 6th and the 12th.
and so, while i’ve only started at this job, i’ll be looking for another job on the side.
and looking for reasons to pick the good decisions over the bad.

So, one of the things that I got a while ago was an itunes card ($15, fyi), and got some new music, and here’s my favorites of the songs I bought:
-Into The Fire- Sarah McLachlan
-Human- The Killers
-Enjoy The Silence- Depeche Mode
-Lets Groove Tonight- Earth, Wind & Fire
-Never Miss A Beat- Kaiser Chiefs
-What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?/It Sucks to be Me- Avenue Q cast
-Jaded- Aerosmith

This year, I’m thankful for many things.
I’m thankful for my parents, who’ve been to hell and back over the past 22 years and who still love my sister and I.
I’m thankful for my sister, because she’s had a hard road to go down the past 5 years, and she still makes me laugh every once in a while.
I’m thankful for my friends, as well as my friends-turned-extended-family, because without them, I wouldn’t be around (no exxageration there, either).
I’m thankful for having a job, even though it’s only seasonal. In this economy, it’s hard to find a job, and I was lucky enough to be able to get a temporary one.
I’m thankful for my pets, all three of them. Boots is a grouchy old cat, Blackie meows about everything, and Jeff still has the IQ of a baked potato, but otherwise they’re good pets (As a side note, we got Boots 10 years ago. 10! That’s somethin to be thankful for in and of itself).
I’m thankful for the truck that my parents still let me drive. It’s got a few dings and dents in it, but it’s reliable, and it’s not high mileage yet (it’s only got 55K on the odometer). It’s what’s been helping me get to work.
And finally, I’m thankful for the President-elect. It’s been a God-awful 8 years, and we finally have a reason to believe in the federal government again. Thank you, Mr. Obama, for helping us see the light.

So, for the past week or so at work, people have been debating about how to pronounce my name.
It’s easy. Say it with me, by syllable:
Ni= same way you say the first syllable of ‘night’
gel= same way you say, well, gel, only with a softer ‘g’.
It’s kinda hard to explain without actually saying it.
Oh wait, here’s a vid with the proper pronunciation:
(as a sidenote, I’m not a knock off. Just a Nigel)
