I just found out that
Apocalyptica is going to be playing at the Ogden Theater on Monday night and I don't know of anybody that would go with me. Damn, damn, damn it!

My friend
Marly (from the
YarnThing podcast) designed the cutest hat pattern that was published in the current
Holiday issue of Knit Simple magazine. The minute I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it.
I've been trying to get it on the needles for two weeks now. I finally wound my skein and decided to cast on at my SnB meetup on Tuesday. Well, I got down there and guess what? Forgot to bring my needles. I had swatched earlier in the day and they were still sitting by the recliner. D'oh! I contemplated working on something else, but I really wanted to make this hat, so I bought another set of circs (I needed size 8 DPNs anyway to finish it) and set off. Well, I'm wishing I had waited now. Even though I tried to cast on as loose as possible, I think the edge is still too tight. I really should've used a bigger needle to cast on. *sigh*
Then I did a complete goober move when I was home and wanted to show Marcus what I'd started. I put the two inches I completed at SnB on my head and proceeded to pull half of it off the needles. Yay! I love putting stuff back on the needles. (NOT!)
Well, we'll see shortly if I need to frog it and start again.

Thanks to this crappy economy, nobody else is hiring right now. So, a couple of weeks ago, I swallowed my pride and basically begged to keep my job. Even though I hate what I do everyday with almost every ounce of my being and it gives me nightmares and insomnia, it's better than being unemployed, especially right before the holidays. I've made it my own personal policy not to discuss anything with my supervisors ever again. If I tell the truth, it gets used against me. I'll show up for work, try to do my job despite being untrained and using poor equipment and leave. No more going above and beyond. It's obviously not a trait valued there.
I know that I need a change, though. Here I sit, after three whole days off from work, still so sore that I can't stand up straight and my feet hurt so bad I can barely walk. Nobody should be made to work 12+ hours standing on a hard concrete floor. Granted, my being obese factors a lot into the pain I'm experiencing, but even my skinny co-workers go home being so sore they can't move. Not cool.
Business is also down. I wonder if any of us are going to have a job in the long run there. We'll see, I guess.
I'll be honest that the things going on in the world right now have me majorly concerned. Makes me wonder if anybody else has read Atlas Shrugged. The United States is becoming a Socialist country, one piece at a time. Personal responsibility and accountability are nonexistent. Everybody is looking to the government to solve their problems (created by that same government, mind you).
I'm wanting more than ever to move somewhere where I can become self-sufficient, life off the land and totally check out of this madness.

As I just realized yesterday that we are already almost a week into October, there will be no
Pink for October theme for me this year. Just as well, as it would probably stay up for most of the year like it has in years past. As you can probably tell, web design and coding (or blogging, for that matter) have not been my main interest lately. I remember when I used to change my theme every month for whatever occasion or season was appropriate. Dang, I miss those days, but my interests lie elsewhere for now. Maybe one day I'll be passionate about this again.
I guess I should just concentrate on actually finishing this design, eh?
