thursday morning 1am

this post begun on thursday morning at 1am as a series of quick notes before crashing twenty minutes later

tuesday:

a pretty solid day's work at the gym,  a sneaky DAI transfer, shopping on the way home, a difficult shower with mr smear (although it improved fairly quickly), and a great game night of dnd

working until midnight

wednesday:

getting up just before the alarm, working through a tough bug, learning that the company i interviewed with on monday can't handle my salary and feeling relieved that i won't have to reject them for company 1

dropping mr smear off at school and getting my fingerprints taken by company2

a quick stop at home, a little work, then packing and heading to the tattoo parlour, silently freaking out when i saw the designs, reworking them until satisfied then finally getting on the table around 12.30, lots of pain with the intensity rising to a dramatic climax (me yelling and struggling to breathe evenly) for the last 10 / 15 / 30 minutes, finally finishing up around 4pm

burning pain, desperately tearing into a sandwich gd had brought, a quick pharmacy run and then posting all about my tattoos while learning about youtube's amazing ability to strip out copyrighted music from a video

the anxiety waiting for company 1's recruiter to call and not realizing i'd been holding my breath until i got the exciting good news, suddenly feeling woozy (shocked and exhausted post-tattoos and good news) and lying down for a bit, then showering mr smear, chatting briefly with my mom and going to the school for a parent-teacher meeting

a positive meeting, being presented with a card and a bottle of champagne by my new co-workers (assuming the offer gets made formally before company 2's expires), heading to their place for drinks and suddenly it was 10pm, rushing home to relieve my mom and finding mr smear still not in bed and being super-cute in negotiating with gd until eventually they both passed out

trying to fix my mom's work device and eventually being forced to throw in the towel
