If I were running a business, I'd want all of my hired people to know how to do every aspect of the job so that if one or several people couldn't show up for reasons beyond their control, the remaining workers be able to cover easily.
I mean really, is it so much to ask? Am I mean to turn people away or let them go because they can't do every aspect of the job? I wouldn't be hiring more people than I need, and I'd want the people that I'd have to be worth their fucking pay. Then again, if they know every aspect of the job and could do every aspect of it, I'd make the pay worth their effort.
I'd also make work an environment that they'd want to hang out even if they aren't working that day. Just as long as the work gets done, I don't care how long they spend at the workplace.
I don't think I'll be happy unless I run my own business, but I honestly wonder if I'd be a horrible dictator of a boss with my own biz. |

What I'm interested in right now:
-**Learning how to read body language (mainly in people)
-**Mask making (casting/sculpting in general, really)
-Crochet everything, but in particular burlesque lingerie or crazy costume items (not sure what I want to do or where to start. I want to make stuff for photo shoots with friends)
-How to start my own business and what I'd need to do to make it happen
-**How to deal with money and keep from racking up debt
-Lists, preferably with photo or art related items
-Figuring how to cook cornish game hens
-How to motivate myself better (and probably change ADHD meds, AGAIN)
-What being a senior in college actually means
What I haven't done in awhile:
-Drawn (I keep missing days with sketch-a-day due to my room still being disorganized and passing out early)
-Make glass beads
-Paint, make prints, etc
-Take photos or edit photos
What I need to be doing:
-Arrange to get money from investment accounts for this semester
-Cleaning this house
-**Ordering textbooks online
**Can anyone help or recommend literature or other materials to help me figure out some of these things or reach some of these goals? I've put some ** next to ones I definitely need help from other people with. I don't feel like I'd get the answers I'd need just by googling it myself. |

This morning I got to sleep in. Now that I've moved my furniture, my bed is right next to the window, so right when I woke up I was able to open the blinds and let in some daylight. Its a little cold to be laying next to the windows even with the blinds closed, but being able to let in light and let the light fill my entire room is fucking worth it. :)
Note to self: make curtains...
Speaking of making notes to myself, does anyone else make lists or notes obsessively? Do you have a note system on your computer that could pop up whenever you need it? I email myself notes and to-do lists (tired of wasting paper) but they get to be messy/unorganized and I'm not sure the best way to organize them. Maybe I need to keep several different word documents about different subjects that would keep track of my project ideas and to-do lists. I also need to start taking a notepad with me, but I need a way to travel with a pen or pencil, ideally attached to the notepad in some way.
I also got to hang out with Caitlin H., eat Taco Villa (pretty tasty for a Taco Casa imitation), and it has been snowing on and off. Oh and I finished crocheting a scarf, too. |

One of my New Years Resolutions is just to try to be happier. I'm tired of being negative all the time and being some depressing sloth.
SO.
I'm going to write a positive thing about my day either here or in my sketch-a-day. I want to do this every day, but we'll see how long I keep this up (by saying this am I dooming myself already? I want it badly enough...)
1. I cleaned my room massively the last week and a half (mostly gathering ex's crap and putting it all together to either pitch it or give it back to him) and I finally got to the point of moving some furniture, got rid of a piece of furniture that was broken, and now I feel a HELL of a lot better now that I've got some floor space and places for guests to sit. I still have a good way to go on my room (I haven't seriously cleaned it since middle school) but I'm doing pretty damn well :)
2. I actually did this yesterday on facebook, but I forgot to post it here. ( Some inspiration for everyone for the new year... ) |

My New Years resolutions:
-Get completely over my ex, my ex best friend, anyone attached to them, and wash my hands of the entire goddamn situation (no more material objects attached to memories, no more dreams about them, no more snapping into a depressed mood by thinking about them)
-Feel better about myself
-Relax more
-Don't become a douchebag.
Plain and simple. |

My Christmas sucked. I had this whole long explanation as to why, but I'm just going to make a list because I like lists.
1. I had to work xmas morning (I planned for this, though, so it's not to bad).
2. It snowed about a foot or so xmas eve (with snow drifts up to my waist) so I had to dig my car out at 6am to get to work.
3. My car got stuck in the parking lot at work. My boss had to call a friend of hers with a truck to haul me out. In the meantime I had the most awkward time waiting in my boss' house with all of her family running around on xmas. Awkward as hell.
4. I got stuck several times driving to/from work. Was able to get out without having to call anyone (minus getting stuck in the parking lot).
5. Got all the way home, started getting comfortable...then the assistant manager called and asked (told) me to cover her shift because she wouldn't be able to make it. So I had to drive all the way back to work, again.
6. Several of the dogs were sick, so I was constantly cleaning (and re-cleaning) vomit.
7. Got home a second time only to realize the one person I was going to hang out with wouldn't be able to leave her apartment because none of the roads in/around/near her apartment were plowed. Same story with anyone else I wanted to hang out with. So I was alone for pretty much the whole day, xmas day.
My gifts this year are as follows:
-A small circular slump glass mixed media painting from my grandmother (one of my favorite pieces, actually)
-AAA batteries
-Fat crochet hooks and a zip up bag that holds all my crochet hooks.
-$100 from Dad and an xmas card that he signed "Randy" instead of Dad
-$100 from my grandmother on my dad's side of the family
-Various gifts from Doggy Daycare patrons (gift cards for food, raspberry jam made by one patron, $40 from one patron [$20 of that was for a sweater I made for her dog] and other odds and ends).
( Tl;dr for why I got very little for xmas )
I'm not upset about not getting many gifts this year, I'm just upset because of all the crap that snowballed into making this year (and this Christmas) the worst I've ever had. This sucks.
Merry fuck-my-life-mas.
I hope 2010 is SO MUCH BETTER than 09 was. I can't stand the shit hitting the fan much longer. |
