May. 6th, 2010 10:18 pmVerizon is having issues with their payment systems, so I can't actually pay them yet. We're going to try tomorrow, and if it still doesn't work, we'll have to send them a check. Explains why I still have service even though it should've been shut off by now. Not like we haven't tried to pay them.
Mom said a furlough wouldn't work for me because I'm technically already furloughed--I took a voluntary reduction in work schedule. It's the same thing our dear governor is proposing, one day a week. If people do get furloughed, they'll probably overlook me because of it. If they don't overlook me, then it'll get interesting. I'm still not bothered about it, though. It's a bridge I'll cross when I get there. The only thing really complicating matters is Mom still being out of work and the MTA still being asses about paying her.
Sleep has been horrible lately, but that's my own fault--I tend to get into bed and switch on the DS for some last-minute Pokemon playing, and before I know it, it's midnight. Today, it all caught up to me. I ate something, got into bed to watch TV, and fell asleep HARD. I made myself get up when Oliver came into my room, even though Mom had already walked him. The boss won't be at work tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I want to go to work exhausted. I'm tired now, but don't really want to go to sleep.
I'm 28 in four days. I'm getting the usual "why haven't I gone any further?" pangs that I've gotten around every birthday since... maybe around 24, 25. I'm 30 in two years, and I have a job I want to leave and can't, nothing in savings, and still live at home. Almost a third of my life is over and I have nothing to show for it, unlike others with their degrees and their significant others and their kids, and that irritates me. Nothing that can really be done about it now, though. Just have to keep going and see where it takes me.
