To stop wanting

Had some kind of epiphany while I was under the shower. It happens. lol. What was it about? Hard to explain. I already know I generally stop wanting things for myself when it isn’t the way I want them to be, and I figured out after years of scrutinizing myself over it this is actually not even my problem. Everything I did want or ever came up with was simply devalued because of the way people function in it. When I was really young the teacher thought me to be a very shy person. It’s true, I did not talk much. I’ve actually said on this blog before that it was because the quality of the company was that bad, I just didn’t have anything to say. I stand by that remark. I mean, I just couldn’t work with it, them little h00mins. It’s the same in my adulthood really. Of course I had hopes for the future when it concerns my work. They never got turned into positive energy because again, I stopped wanting what I was after while still running around giving it 200%, sticking it out because I really have no other choice in this particular area. I’m stopping here and there to crack some jokes because that’s what it is: a giant joke. It’ll be a giant joke even in the (probably non-existent) universe where I’m top dog, calling all the shots and driving an expensive car. I expect that universe to be absolutely hilarious as well.

Why folk metal is awesome

^o^ I’ve been listening to it all day already. When I went shopping today I had it on in the car again. So what makes folk metal so awesome? The beer? The occasional goofyness? The wider range of instruments? The history? It’s all of these and then some. The best feeling I get is when I’m in my car and it’s cold, preferably snowing and I’m driving around where I live (the countryside) doing cooooornaaars in 3rd gear. *flipping behind the wheel*.

Generally, I divide them into two categories: Nordic and German (spielmänner). I usually lean somewhat more to the German bands, on the other hand my favorite is Ensiferum.

There’s also nothing like folk metal bands in concert. Best proof of concept is Korpiklaani. I’ve seen grown men with long hair do some ballroom dancing in the middle of the concert hall. <3 the goofyness.

So happy listening! Don’t blame me if you go to your fridge to fetch a beer.

Walkin shoes

They’re too cheap to actually last me more than 1 season probably, but at least I like the way they look. <3

I needed some that look good under jeans and neat black pants. Success!

Then my eye falls on the most insane high heels in the entire store. Of course I did not buy those but they’d make me 1.87-1.88m!

Good. It’s weekend

I completely had it by the time it was noon. Unfortunately since I was there anyways, I didn’t take the afternoon off. Bored. Bored. Bored. Fail. Bored. Fail. Bored.

Supplier-kun asked me an interesting question today. “What is it that you want?”. Hmm. I just blankly stared into space for 2 full minutes I believe. I believe the answer was: “To jump from the third floor and commit harakiri” ( I was laffin when I said that). I’m that bored. Fail. Bored. Fail. I’m fail-bored and there’s nothing I can do about it. *whines*

He was annoyed all day because the piece o crap wouldn’t work with him (system). Stuck our heads together twice. Problem solved. *puffs nails*. For the record, same thing can happen to me. You can end up pulling your hair out for 8 hours straight not finding what the hell it is you need to poke or do and then someone comes along, takes one look at it, and presses one key. ANNOYING.

Today I was a customer for once. Man, they can’t pay me enough in this lifetime because my service is spick n span compared to whatever these ladies were on the phone. On the other hand, their job is probably more shitty than mine. Heck, I worked at a department where only pissed off people would call the entire day when I was a student. I had to hold the phone 50cm from my ear. lol. In any case, service was shit. “Put the customer on hold right off the bat, shows them who’s boss”, that’s number one. Then the missy said “I’m sorry madam, our system just went down. Could you please call later?”. Alright then, but I know you’re FOS little lady. She sure sounds like one of my customers. Blaming IT for every disfunction, including irritable bowel, a dry mouth, or a necessity to joke with your coworkers. I work for comms & pr, I know that they call a technical problem. lol. In any case, I have the feeling I’m going to have fun with these guys. Real customer service when the system is actually down? You take a bloody note, call them back and have management call it ‘an investment’. They don’t even need to lie:D

Oh! And one of our (l)user-kun’s was a biooootch to a hire-in. Hire-in complains and actually gets ‘a loving response’. Us permanent folk basically just have to deal with it. lol. One time one (l)user-kun was so nasty and mean, at the end, her boss actually apologized to me. Nobody actually remembers what happened, they only remember that thing Feles-kun ™ had with (l)user, nevermind it was (l)user in the first place being a complete biotch and that ones cap’n apologised to me. Yes! When your cap’n starts apologising, that would be insanely bad. This is not Japan XD.
