You're So Sad, Maybe You Should Buy A Happy Meal

I have always been a sucker for personality quizzes, I love to see how close they are to accurately describing me.  Well tonight I'm kind of nostalgic mood, so I'm listening to random songs on YouTube that I haven't listened to in years.  As I watched and listened to songs I somehow remember the lyrics to, all of the sudden I remembered such a test that I took years ago, about five and a half years ago to be slightly more precise.  Well, I scanned over my family's blog and finally found the post I was looking for.

It's always kinda made me laugh how people change over time.  Here are my results from the first time I took the test, and here are the ones I just received:

(Edit:  I seem to have also grown a case of the stupids and can't figure out how to put the god damned thing in m post, so here's a screen shot of my results.  You just don't get to hover over the little sections and see what they mean.  What.  A.  Piss.  Off. D:< )

I still don't appear to trust people (dark blue), my confidence (dark red) is still at an all time low, and my openness (lighter, but not bright green) has seemed to dwindle, but hey, life messes with each of in it's own way.

Right now I'm really not minding that I have a lack of social skills or the time to actually use them.  We have a rule in our house this year that we aren't making any life changing decisions until Spring, and I'm alright with working 40+ hours a week and spending my time off at home with the Martian.  I just kind of wish Spring would hurry it's happy ass up. :p

For The Sake Of Posting

I have a slight obsession with these ecards, and by slight obsession I mean I have a Pinterest board dedicated to them that proudly boasts over 350 of them.  I've got issues.

I find this one extremely appropriate to my life for a number of reasons:

A)  I am usually at work in the afternoons when others are off work/ out of classes, so I can't answer the phone, but I can possibly text back at obscure hours of the night.

B)  I work nights, so I sleep during the day, and I leave my phone on vibrate 98% of the time.  I love my sleep.

C)  I am awkward.  I have mentioned it before, but I have serious issues about talking to most people over the phone.  There is only a handful of people I actually like talking on the phone with.

And for the weirdest reason,

D)  Due to a past relationship where I was constantly harassed, every time I see that I have a voicemail I slightly panic, and honestly I usually avoid listening to them up to a few days until I can convince my brain that I'm being stupid.

So yes, I am one of those people where if you want to get a hold of me, and actually get a response it's better to text me than to actually call me, not that anyone reading this cares.  Haha. :p

Because It Is The ADULT Thing To Do!

You're probably thinking, "No no, Tia, it is Friday, and Friday means it's the weekend!"  Well, that would be true, unless you're me, and tonight is your first night of several in a row at work.

My week usually starts on either Wednesday or Thursday and doesn't end until the following Wednesday or Thursday, then I have some time off, and repeat!  It works out alright, though I do get pretty grouchy/tired around the sixth or seventh night in a row.

I am so not ready to go to work tonight.  I've been at the fair all week, which was fantastic, but now I would love nothing more than to just be lazy in my own home for a day (lazy people problems).  But, as I keep telling the Martian, "Momma is a broke bitch," and bills don't pay themselves.   What a shame.

So in the next few minutes I will indeed be dressing in Halloween scrubs (it's close enough right?), grabbing a Rock Star, putting a smile on my face, and dragging my ass back to my place of employment.

Everyone else, have a great weekend and stay safe!

It's Off To The Fair We Go

As I think I mentioned in the last post, tomorrow we will be going to the Utah State Fair, or as it is better known in our family as our annual working vacation.

I can't complain too much, it's a good excuse to get out of D-town for a week, and that is something I really, really need.

I'm kind of stressed about it this year though.  It will be our first time taking the Martian anywhere for that length of time, and honestly I have no idea how we are going to keep him entertained for five days, not to mention that it will throw off his schedule tremendously.  Not only am I unsure about that, but I have really terrible social anxiety, and having him around that many people makes me uneasy.

All in all though, I am excited to get out of town even though I have no exciting plans for Salt Lake.  I figure, I don't do anything exciting here, I might as well be boring and unexciting somewhere else.

I may not have a chance to update at all because as soon as we get back from the fair I start my multiple nights in a row again at work, and I won't have wifi while I am up North.  So if there is no update, I apologize, otherwise I will be aiming for Friday or Saturday.

Updating would be sooooo much easier if my phone would let me actually write a post and not just a blog title.  It'd make it so I had no excuse to not blog except for shear laziness and writers block.

Have a fantastic day!

A Post About Nothing In Particular

Since my son was born it seems like life went from a snail pace during my pregnancy to some super sonic speed that I have no control over.  The Martian's birthday is in a couple of months and I am just kind of unsure how that happened!

Why does time have to go so slow when your pregnant and then suddenly think it's okay to speed up once the baby is born?  I think it's bullshit.

What else is bullshit is the fact that my kindle keeps trying to censor me by changing "bullshit" to "villainy".  I'm an adult, kindle, I'll do what I want.

My goal for this month is to try couponing.  It's one of those ideas that have gotten stuck in my head as a "good idea".  The last thing that got stuck in my head like that was when I decided to restart blogging.  Ha.  We'll see how it goes.

I'm expecting this month to go by slowly because I am excited about the prospect of going on vacation towards the end of October, and since I took of time for the state fair next week this week has seemed to go by very, very slowly.  But that just might be because it's one o'clock in the morning and I'm at work. 

This post is getting really rambly.  I should stop before this because any lengthier.  I promise to try and think of an actual topic for the next update.  Have a great night!
