I got my first birthday present the other day. There was a really cute figurine of a witch with a black cat that I fussed over, and hub bought it for me. I also got a little stuffed black cat in a post-Halloween sale. That makes... 4, now, I think, which probably qualifies as a collection. Stuffed black cats. Whoever saw that coming. At least it's not unicorns.

They closed the time for requesting new shifts on Friday, so I'd hoped that I would hear something when I came to work today. Hoped, but not expected- the state doesn't tend to move very quickly. I did get an email telling me to move to another cubicle right away, and that was sent Wednesday. The pessimist in me is worried that this removes the advantage I previously had in requesting that shift, but the optimist realizes that since our shifts overlap on Sunday, I had to get out of there and it's not uncommon to have to move several times when this sort of thing's going on, so it at least doesn't mean anything bad (as in, she won't be getting the shift so let's move her).

So I spent all morning moving all my crap to a new cubicle about 20 feet away. I had managed to keep that cubicle since I started, so there was quite an accumulation. A lot of it was pretty dusty too. Bad things- not as close to a window, right under an a/c vent, sharing a length of desk with another, not as close by to Kirby. Good things- less direct light, the guy who's here on my days off seems like less of a slob, and I'm away from the very loud person who sat directly behind me in my old cubicle. My fervent hope is that I'll be packing up to move again in a week or so, but if I end up here I think I can be okay with that.

I feel all kinda achey today. Sitting directly under that a/c vent may be contributing. Maybe I just need some caffeine.

Oh, why not

From burgundy...

1) Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.

2) Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.

3) Include these instructions, and share the love.

Oh yeah, another happy thing.

Trish made me these loverly earrings to go with the Pan necklace we designed and built some time ago. And I lost one like a fluff head. I have been trying to find it for months, no luck. Finally I emailed her and meekly asked if I could come over and make myself another one. Not only did she make it for me, and charge me nothing, but she gave it to a friend who delivered it to me and I didn't have to get off my ass at all. Man, all these OTO people (Trish and Content and Jvar) are being all nice to me and dispelling the reputation as big scary meanie-heads, it's cool.

I have been on a long dry spell with jewelry, wearing nothing but teeny gold hoops in my second set of ear piercings, and my wedding band. It's been years it seems. My ears hurt a little from having the Pan earrings in all day, but I want to keep wearing them. I have so much really cool jewelry, and though I load it on for ritual, I hardly ever wear it mundanely. I love jewelry, I just have been loving it by looking at it instead of wearing it. Maybe because it doesn't go well with tie-dye t-shirts. I dunno. I may wear big gaudy necklaces with t-shirts anyway, who will give a shit?
