Cranky. Old. Man?

Homelessness at work has reached an all time high. Now we have Graphics Intern (who I wish I could steal, this kid is SO ADORABLY ENTHUSIASTIC) at The Table, the minions and I graduated to having our own desks, and Graphics Master is stuck in the corner. But my Intern and the New Finance Assistant have the floor and the couch respectively.

We get anymore and it'll be MAX DENSITY. There's already been talk like this is Geekstock. I've warned them not to burn the couch, it might esplode. And I thought getting my chair stolen was annoying. The look on Annoying Intern's face when he saw Graphics Intern and realized that Graphics Intern could take him was PRICELESS. Is it bad I want to see them duke it out gladiator style?

So today I've been working on a process document thing, and yes, it's as boring as it sounds. Luckily the minions made me go to lunch with them, or my brain might have fried. Though, the payback is if I write this up well and after some editing, this might end up being a publishable work (as apparently there's some kind of problem designing systems oriented educational stuff? I don't know, our curricular adviser made a huge deal over my stuff. XD Maybe I should be flattered?). I find it ironic that the only publishable things I've done have been pretty boring and instructionally based. XD If it's not a user manual or a training simulation... hey, at least I get paid. And really, I am a bit of a theorist type, as much as pure subjects annoy me. And I usually get to do fun things, it's just I have to make sure I have shit setup for when I go back to school, because this is approaching quickly!

Hey, anyone wanna do my last year of engineering for me? Kidding. Only not.

I'm prematurely missing work. XD Is that wrong? At work I feel, I dunno, like a useful contributor. School likes to do basically the opposite; it's not so much I'm not a "big fish" (I'm not even a big fish here, I'm part of a TEAM) but more that I hate being treated like an idiot? I'm not genius, but come on, just because I don't do differential equations in my sleep and have all sorts of plane models memorized doesn't make me completely useless.

Maybe when I'm older I'll go be a professor, and try to reverse that attitude. Ha, ambitious, I know.

P.S. Sev, this made me think of your plight. XD

P.P.S. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS. The site may crash though, because everyone wants to see it, but it's WORTH IT.

I HAVE A DESK.

The Intern is still in a chair, but the minions and I have desks. This makes working so much easier, but it also means we're not all hanging around the same set of tables. The level of BS and shenanigans has gone down. Good for business, but I miss shenanigans already. I don't feel nearly as exposed, though, which was weird. We're all facing walls now, so everyone can focus. Considering all the work the minions have lately, this is prolly good for them.

Emailed Super Adviser, he does think I'm insane, but he says I know what I'm getting myself into. I'd rather the Fall suck than the Spring (because that's SENIOR DESIGN OMG) and really, I just want to fucking graduate already. I am very likely to be extremely cranky for the next year or so, just be advised. Nothing personal.

( my schedule, for anyone interested )

So yeah, it's going to be fun. And by that I mean slightly suicidal. But I have requirements left to meet, and I have no tech or liberal arts electives left. XD I also need to contact the History department and make sure that I get a minor, because I earned it, dammit. I also set myself a reminder to go see History Gast when I get back to school, because he still has my final project and I want to see what he thought of it. I have a feeling that professors are going to get sick of me this year, but hell if I'm failing anything. I am going to graduate in the Spring if it kills me. C means Cool and D means Done!

And some fun things:

+ I wrote stuff yesterday! A cute Veld/Iffy and a distinctly un-cute rated R addition to my "Liquid" series. The latter was mostly done for a while, I just had to add an ending. I may actually finish a claim somewhere! Figures, it's my crazy psychological crap that I finish. XD

+ I took a picture of my vaguely paganistic pendant I made for myself. I even like the hemp cord it's on. Wire wrapping and finding random polished rocks in my things is awesome.

+ Fashionista pic. Mainly because my lime green heels are awesome, if not made for walking very far in. I'm glad I have a desk job. XD

+ And a dorky poll thing.

I really need to do some sewing tonight. I've been so lazy lately.
