Normally I don’t vent here on Tumblr about the goings on in my humdrum little life because I don’t want to burden anyone with my troubles. But, I feel that I need to express it somewhere. 

At work, the new girl who started about a month and a half ago quit without notice. She stopped coming to work. I had to cover for her and someone who was on vacation on the night shift. I work days. It messed up my sleep scheduled. Today, I was told I have to work her night shift until her replacement can be hired. I am not looking forward to that. Not when I am just getting the hang of my new position in planning. 

As I was on my way to my mom’s house for dinner after work, my car broke down at a busy intersection. Luckily I was able to coast into the parking lot of a restaurant. The manager said it could stay there until I get it fixed there or towed to a shop. Its not been properly diagnosed, but it may be the fuel pump. I can get a good one on line for about $300 shipping included. And one of the mechanics at the shop at work says he can put it in for $20 labor. My coming pay check Friday will have all the extra money from the over time. I had to do a payday advance loan for some of it, because I had to pay my rent and internet bill. 

And finally, I have a cold sore coming in. Oh, joy. 

On top of all this, I can’t send cash to a friend of mine who has to take a week off. 

Fuck my life. 

Me.

This is the closest that you will ever get to see me in a photo. Ideally, my face is covered.

It makes me look a little dumpy but that is because it has some air in it.

This is me at Plan 9 Comics in Boone for their Halloween party.I was really too late to show up for the costume contest but they gave me 5th place anyway. I got a bag full of candy and some other stuff.

I didn’t get to stay too long but it was fun. Because of the mask no one recognized me and I kind of freaked everyone out by not talking. It was great. The real tragedy is that this is the only mask I can wear with my glasses. I had an actual Russian made gas mask but due to my bad eye sight and my HUGE head I could not wear it properly. One of the guys who comes to the shop was in the army and told me to be on the look out for wither a M24 gas mask or a M17 gas mask as they were made for people with eye issues.

Thanks to Jenny for snapping these for me!
