Random Thinking Part Whatever

I think of myself as a realist, but I'm starting to wonder since I'm continually disappointed by the same, well-meaning person who can't meet a schedule no matter what she thinks. I should know better by now. Yet I'm also still surprised when she does meet the schedule, so maybe I'm a hopeful realist.

Went to the gym. Felt good to be on the treadmill and I did better than I'd thought I would, but I'd gained weight. feh. Nice new StarTrac machines, though, and nearby so I should be able to go sometimes after work. And I finally got to start the book designated for gym reading.

Sometimes, I don't think I'll ever get caught up with stuff.

I've been enjoying the message boards on Library Thing. Even splurged on a permanent account.

Some jerk on eBay wanted to cancel a bid on an auction I have up for an action figure, claimed his kid put on the bid, wouldn't pay, yadda yadda yadda. Which would've been no problem, except he started out by cursing, said his fucking kid did it, and was generally rude. Sure, that makes someone eager to be helpful. I'm assuming he was a guy, but it could've been a foulmouthed or foul-fingered? woman. So I replied that if he won and didn't pay, I'd follow up as per eBay's TOS. Which I wouldn't bother with for a minimum bid item of $1.99 that I'm gonna toss if no one wants it. But I didn't like the cursing. In response, this non-human called me an asshole. Which I've always thought was used in reference to guys. At the very least, he should've called me a c-nt. Gee, I typed it out, then felt weird about it and took out the u. Anyway, in over a year on eBay, this non-human person is the first asshole I've encountered, so I guess I should consider myself lucky. There's a lot of rage out there and cyberspace brings out the worst in some people.

When Monday is Tuesday

There was work suckage and we shall not speak of this again. Just a day when not much went right, but the public was mostly fine. Just not enough staff to best serve them, no custodian, and no time for me to get anything done. Oh, and my favorite breakfast food place is closed this week. Not a good way to start the day.

The Devil Ninja Rubber Ducky I bought on eBay arrived. There will be photos. He's sleeping now after his trip through the mail. I have some dvd sets up for auction, seller name shellys555.

There has been much decluttering here, which leads to the oddity of there now being more stuff piled up instead of less. It's one thing to cull collections; it's another to actually get rid of the stuff. Listing things on eBay takes time. Even tossing stuff takes time.


Feeling: (Yes, I made some more mood graphics.)

eBay Fun

Covering the full spectrum, I've got a few more comics items up for bid and at the other end of the price range, Stephen Colbert is auctioning a painting off the set of his show, for charity.
