An Candlemas dawns bright and clear...well, shit
So it looks like we're not getting a repeat of last year's cloudy Imbolc. Rats. I sure wouldn't have minded winter being over. I fear the previous months being so mild and all, we're gonna really pay for it during February and March. Probably well into April.
There's nothing like a little retail therapy to lift the mood, though, right?
Daddy sent me some money for my birthday so I splurged on myself and bought the set of costuming books by the Costume Goddess. Even if these books do nothing but give me tips on building a better costume bra it'll be worth the $90. I didn't get the headpieces one because eh. Headpieces. I'm generally not a fan, and I already do a fine turban. But the rest of them look positively delightful.

shrijani and gamera_spinning is this icon by the inventive copperwise. She made it for Valentine's Day, but I think it's appropriate year round. Please credit her if you decide to use it.
I am So So So Tired about people complaining to me about, well, lots of things. Yes, I know. It's a terrible, terrible situation. No, there is nothing I can do about it. Please do not complain to me about that which I do not control. These include:
The other secretary being on vacation
The broken copier
The unavailability of the department chairperson
The slowness of the one available copier
The fact that you didn't take your GRE exam until too late for the results to arrive at KU by our department deadline
The Graduate School not getting acceptance letters out as fast as you'd like
If you want to ask for help on how to possibly work around any of these situations, I'm all ears. But I am not interested in listening to your random gripe. There is nothing I can do to actually change any of the above. I know I can do many things, but I cannot change the fact of any of those items. Please stop behaving as if I can.
Of course my attitude is not helped by the fact that I slept like absolute crap last night. Sad, unsettling dreams and I kept waking up so cold. Ugh. It's gonna be a long day.
