yuuagoUgh, I am Not Looking Forward to the rest of this week.
Tomorrow, I have to work the reception desk, even though I have absolutely no idea how anything works there. Our workplace is too cheap to hire a temp while the receptionist is away, which means we all have to take turns. Mostly I'm just going to be transferring calls to the payroll office, I think, but considering I used to do a similar job, and found it absolutely nerve-wracking, I fear I'm going to be extremely frazzled in the "going to need a drink after two hours of it" sort of way.
And THEN I have a driving lesson scheduled for Friday. I need to do it, and I know it'll be beneficial to me, but driving + with a stranger = Aughhh... Not to mention the receptionist couldn't find my file from the last time (I think she was spelling my name wrong, but I'm not sure), and I didn't receive my confirmation email (because, again, I think she was spelling my name wrong) and just. Ugh. [/throws up hands] Well, at least it's at 9 AM, which means I'll be able to just get it over with.
And also I should probably take care of some forms that should have been attended to a week or two ago but I, um, didn't.
Yyyyeahhh. So. Lots of things that I don't want to do, but that need to be done anyway. Joy.
Upside: I remembered a nice little thing that I saw at the cafe this weekend. When I was at the cafe, I saw that there were some infocards advertising Pride YMM. <3 <3 <3 I did not expect to see that at all. I would have expected it at the small indie place downtown (where I did see one pinned to the message board last week), but I wouldn't have expected them at a major chain. It just... It's such a small thing, but it felt so good to see that.
I'm pretty excited about this, even though it's nearly an entire month away. Need to decide how I'll do my makeup for it... I have plenty of bright colours; it's just a matter of deciding which ones. 8) And of course there's always the question of: dark lipstick, or no? I love black, and I have one that wears really well (it's the one by MUFE, best I've ever tried) but hmm, in the August heat, I really don't know.... Not to mention that black lipstick is so high-maintenance in general; I would wear it more often if it weren't such a pain in the ass. IT TRANSFERS SO MUCH, no matter what. And forget about trying to, say, drink coffee while you're wearing it. Hooo boy. (Yes, yes, I know, all lipsticks transfer, but... there's a world of difference between a good NARS matte vs every black lipstick I've ever tried in my life, I'm just saying.)
Oh, and I've ordered a wig for it, since I couldn't find the ones that I had in storage. I'm a little unsure about the quality - I had a choice between a nice black one, or an okayish blue one, and... While black is probably more wearable, well, fuck it. It's Pride, and I want to have blue hair. 8) 8) 8) I'm sure I can tame it to look decent, anyhow.
It's nice to have something to look forward to.
Also, I checked this morning, and the rainbow crosswalk has not been vandalized. I'm surprised and pleased.
