I know I've posted loads of entries today, but I won't be online much for a few days. I've got a good 12-hour day tomorrow, at work, and then about 9 hours on Friday, and a few more hours on Saturday and Sunday. To give myself a bit of a break, I'm going to try and reschedule my hours to 2 hours on Sunday, and days from 9-5, with next Saturday off. That will give me evenings to rest, just for one week, and a day off--such as today, would be quite welcome. Starting tomorrow, I have to work 9 days in a row without a break, which is no big deal when I'm well, as last year I went a month and a half without a day off. Yet, what with being ill twice over like I am now--it's really hard, very hard. Especially trying to maintain a cheerful voice and demeanor over the phone all day, when all you really long to do, is curl up and sleep and rest. But, hopefully, it will let me pay the rent.

The cupboard's getting a bit thin, again, but that's what food pantries are for, I reckon. I really dread going to work tomorrow, I hate my job so much...but, I'm not complaining--still making more than I ever did before--which isn't saying much, as I've mostly made bottom wages all my life. I'm not complaining, because at least I'm sitting down, verbal abuse or no. I'm not lugging dirty smelling bin bags around, or cleaning loos, or kennels or stalls for a living. I've done worse, believe me. I've had more than my fair share of dirty, smelly, literally back-breaking jobs in my life--so I take the meaness and the extreme boredom of having to say the same script over and over, hundreds of times a day, with a grain of salt and some small appreciation. It's a lousy job--but I've done a lot worse. Doesn't say much for me, does it?
Anyway, I'm a blogging fool tonight...won't be online much, so making up for lost time and entertaining myself by blogging. It ain't the Harry Potter premier, but...it's something to do on a rainy holiday night, alone in my little apartment...hmmm--where are the cats, anyway? What are they into? I had three cats beside me, fifteen minutes ago, no they've vanished--they must be up to something, ha-ha.
QUIZ A:
Has American Culture Ruined You?
RESULT:
You Have Not Been Ruined by American Culture
You're nothing like the typical American. In fact, you may not be American at all. (NOTE: My mum had an ancestor at Jamestown Settlement in 1607, and we've been here ever since.)
You have a broad view of the world, and you're very well informed.
And while you certainly have been influenced by American culture (who hasn't?), it's not your primary influence.
You take a more global philosophy with your politics, taste, and life. And you're always expanding and revising what you believe.
