Weekends And Other Uneventful Moments

This whole week has been one big Uneventful Moment. There have been slight blips on the Interesting Stuff Radar, but nothing of particularly huge importance. However, they do provide fodder for this thing, so here goes.

Thursday: Anonymous Socks Day. Yup, you read that correctly. I was sent two pairs of anonymous socks in the mail. No reaction is correct for that (although I was grateful, because I only had three pairs of socks before that and, well, it's already snowed a couple times). I'm just baffled. What kind of person sends someone socks?!

Friday: Roomie News Day. My roommate is going to be my RA next semester. Fun fun. Now, I also have the opportunity to have a single, as long as I'm not too far down on the waiting list. Yay!

Then came the weekend, all of this last week, and now it's Saturday again and I'm not entertained.

Jesse's and my nine-monther was yesterday, so we took the chance to go out to eat and then to "The Matrix: Revolutions." You know what? It's a pretty cool movie. I'll always like the first one best, but this was pretty cool. The graphics were better than the second one (although I get the distinct feeling the second one was a bit rushed), and the plot a little less predictable. All in all, it was very well done. And the ending leaves some room for contemplation.

I need some ideas for summer jobs around here. Any thoughts from my reading audience?

Apologies to those who read this for never being on MSN. My computer is currently rejecting all things Hotmail and Hotmail-related, which is an issue.

Nobody around here is any help for topics. Blah.

Later.


People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" really piss me off. Didn't really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

The confusion continues. Tuesdays seem to be the days for odd discoveries. Hmmm ... Much stress. Big presentation for work tomorrow. I'm downright scared right now, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that I have NO IDEA what to expect. On the bright side, in 24 hours, it'll all be over. Thank goodness. Then there are just papers left, but papers I can handle. And a presentation for senior design, but that's a group thing. Ten days and it's just finals week. I like finals week. Things are oddly easier during finals week.

The Ashley Files: The Gerbil Story

I'm not totally sure what spurred this memory, but this is a story that needs to be told. Over the years, I've had a lot of random jobs. It started when I was young and glued pictures for bridge reports (my family's version of "working with the family business). I had a job at Subway one summer (easily my least-favorite job), was a bridge inspection field technician with the family business, worked in a church camp kitchen, and was a lab assistant. The summer I started this blog, I was working at the school's day care. It was my second summer there. The job was certainly not what I was hoping to do the rest of my life -- but for a nineteen-year-old it was decent money and okay hours. And hey, a couple times a week I got to hang out at the pool and get paid for it. Not a bad gig. [My dad also referred to it as the "world's best birth control" and he may have been right.] I don't remember a lot of the ins and outs of that summer -- most

2019 Year In Review

It was awful. Fine. It wasn’t all bad. I have a niece now. My job is pretty awesome. I like my residence fine. I … avoided all parking tickets? But wow, was there a lot of garbage in the meantime. An unexpected funeral for a friend who died decidedly too young. Family members in and out of (and back into) the hospital. And throughout the last third, the specter of cancer hanging over everything. While a part of me keeps saying, “There is no need to dwell on all the crap, Ashley,” the rest of me is almost too exhausted for optimism. 2020 has potential, yes. Buckets of potential. Oodles of it. 2020 is chaotic neutral staring us in the face. Switzerland with anger issues. Taunting us with its possibilities. RIP 2019. 2020... Please don't be a jerk.
