At work lately I've served a few local celebrities. They've quickly figured out that I know who they are and they seem to appreciate that I speak to them just like normal folks. Which is really the only way to show respect to them.

Sadly, I do know more than a few who would lose their absolute shit and complete fangirl over them. Not necessarily because they are fans of these people, but because of who they know. Meh.

At one point I wouldn't have been so at ease talking to anybody even remotely famous, but after my experience at a fan convention that went very wrong, well. Let's just say that the experience left me no longer afraid to speak to people, regardless of how famous (or infamous) they are.

I think that these folks have a certain amount of respect for me because I don't go gaga over them. And I'm sure I'll see them more the longer I work here. I just carry on with them like I would anybody else, and so far I have purposely not brought up their music/film/tv careers. Even though they are likely aware this is where I know them from. They're just folks doing their jobs and their jobs just mean that they are better known than the average person.

Plus, I come into contact with local authors of note through the writing classes I have been taking over the past couple of years. And more than a few of them have said that I have a talent that needs to get out there, and for me to hurry the fuck up and get my first book into print. The first book is almost complete so it's just a matter of getting an editor to look at it and getting it submitted. Am I nervous? Yeah, but such is life sometimes.

Now, time for a quick life update. Not that anybody reads these posts :P

Life with a roommate isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It helps that my roomie and I get along so well, despite us being very different people. We have different days off work, which probably helps, and we just seem to have a natural understanding between us. Sure, there has been a couple of things that have pissed me off, but such is life. I'm sure there are things I've done that has pissed my roomie off, but we just move past it and carry on.

I'm still hoping to find a job closer to home, and/or save up for a vehicle that will make it easier for me to get to work. Whether that sees me remain at the store I'm currently at or finding a new job closer to home depends on a bunch of things. Meh.

Anyhow, I should be doing something or other here at work. After lunch.

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
