Yep, this is here. If you could follow me on Instagram though, that’d be great. Follow for follow?
New glasses, a stack of felt, and haircut I got yesterday!
What am I doing with all this felt?!?
I actually don’t know. I’m currently googling that. I had an idea to make lots of felt plushies and then I went to the library and kind of forgot I was going to make lots of plushies in my abundant free time… Past self, you always have such faith in future self’s memory and time management.
(p.s. I just started watching Parks & Rec and I am so dumb for not watching this show earlier. I’m like almost at season 4 and I snicker to myself as I sleep. Good reason to stay up too late. Good, solid reason.)
So one perk of my neighbors moving away soon is that they’re letting me have their bookshelves.
I’ve been keeping my books in my closet/on the floor for years. THIS IS EXCITING. It also happened a few weeks ago, but what is more important a thing to update than how books are stored?
I remembered my password again!
I remembered I still had a tumblr because I got back on twitter because my cat puked on my phone which provided me an opportunity to get a smartphone and become more active in social media. Oh, and I changed laptops and “forgot” my password. More like I tried once and gave up until a few minutes ago when I wondered if I’d posted anything I’d blocked out of memory. I can handle embarrassing, but if I’d posted a video of me performing an Ode to Cheezits, I’d wonder if my employers have been lazy or equally devoted to the goodness that is Cheezits. Fortunately this is something that doesn’t exist except in my imagination. Phew. Just evidence of my Kpop obsession.
You might think I pulled this out of my backpack. I printed it 2 minutes ago. Mokona dove after the first couple pages while they were printing.
I submitted my letter of resignation at work today. Why am I up at nearly 4am? Because I was thinking about this decision all weekend and I wasted a lot of time being indecisive. In a month, I will be unemployed (scary!), but I will be able to beg researchers to let me be an intern. To be clear, I’m quitting for education reasons. If I hadn’t, this post would not exist because I wouldn’t publically badmouth the company and an internal issue would be an internal issue. I bring this up because I’ve been thinking about what working conditions I’m willing to endure and at what points I’d talk to my manager/supervisor or make something a legal issue. Do I think my current job is more or less difficult than prospective ones? If the next one caused me x amount of stress, would I quit and request for this job back? If my next job is relevant to my desired career but I’m miserable, is it still better than this current nonrelevant job? These things and many more distract me for hours. I wrote and threw away lists. That being said, this weekend I primarily thought about financial security and education. I’m in a different place than I was last year, but I’m still nervous about the future. Differently nervous. More comfortable taking this kind of risk.
As relieved as I am for next quarter, I have things due and things past due that I got a free pass on… Yay caffeine tablets. I don’t care if the effect is possibly placebic. At 4 am, if it keeps me awake and I feel fine, I’m not going to be too picky.
Okay, Pip. Gif of new haircut. Satisfactory?
magicalflails asked: Love the hair! Any better pictures?
No. Not really.
I got a haircut. My hair got past my shoulders and I couldn’t handle it anymore. My new hairstyle is very messy which is great. It was the first time I’d gone to a hair salon in maybe 10 years. My aunt has been cutting my hair, but she is busy in another state.
Also, sweetarts lollipops are delicious. As are Cheezit Grooves in all flavors. As are those Pure Leaf teas. Food.
I’m in love with a cleaning book.
I’d rather be her right now.
