Vegetable.

I'm seriously about to become one. I'm confronting mind-numbing, ass-constipating, coffee-enhancing boredom right now. I'm working at the library, which is usually such a nice part of my day. Today, however, there is nothinggg to do. I'm seriously getting up right now to go to the bathroom just to have something to entertain myself with.

Now I'm back from the bathroom. Shocker, but no new lending or borrowing requests have come in. Since most people couldn't imagine my superior job duties, I'll clarify: I still have nothing to do. Grrrface.

So Manhattan needs to happen. Not permanently (yet); I just need a visit. Just a weekend in my favorite American city. (Because let's face it, no other American city touches New York.)

OMG A BOOK CAME IN!! I AM NOW BLESSED WITH A TASK TO GIVE MY LIFE MEANING!! BRB!!!

So my boss has this OCD tick. On the program we use at work, you can refresh the screen to either see the next step in whatever process you're working on or new requests that are coming in. Now, it makes sense if you haven't done so in a while and you want to see new requests. But she refreshes after literally everything she does.

OCD ticks are something I'm very familiar with. I have many. But she makes everyone else do this, too. During the summer we're working on updating our instruction sheets and she actually adds into the instruction sheets every time she refreshes. It's part micromanagement, part dossier on her compulsion. And it's all wonderful. To be fair, that is the only example of micromanagement here, but it's a powerful one.

I just updated an address and the contact person's last name is Real. That guy gets so much ass due to that one fact.

I think that my summer policy of consuming to excess is going to catch up with me at some point. I'll let you know how that goes if I survive.

Have a good dayyy!

Advice for gays: If you are honestly, truly looking for a deep and committed relationship with an intelligent and caring person, try going to church instead of to bars. Or go to a community center. But no bars, no clubs and absolutely no Manhunt. [Note: This wouldn't change anything in the gay community. The bars will be just as full. Very few gays are really looking for that.]
