Item 1: I have no idea how people work full time. Honestly. I worked four days this week, and I am so completely drained it's like I am going to die. I guess it's something you acclimate to, but right now I'm like D: HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE. It's exhausting!

Iteam 1.5: I really love working at a school, and I'm going to be so sad when the school year ends and I have to get a job in retail or something.

Item 2: My computer cord finally gave up and stopped working. Called HP to see if my warranty would cover it, since this computer isn't even a year old, and the guy, who was awesome, said no. He clearly heard the devastation in my voice when I asked how much a replacement would cost, because he put me on hold and returned to say that his supervisor had approved sending me a replacement for free. OH HAPPIEST OF DAYS.

Item 3: Haven't seen the last two episodes of Bones yet, but WTF, SHOW, WHAT RABBIT HOLE DID WE FALL DOWN.

I know I had other things to bring up, but that is all that is coming to mind. I feel like I've hardly done anything online lately, which is weird, but like, I have no tumblr queue and I have to speed through the backlog of 190 posts I missed on my flist so if I missed anything important, please tell me!

I loved working full-time back when I was healthy! I felt all out of sorts when I could only work part time. *shrugs* But I have a job I like, so yeah

I like the social aspect/having something to do/monetary compensation aspect of working full time, but omg, I am so tired. I've been substituting, so I really like what I'm doing, but it is exhausting. I was talking to my cousin about it, who teaches first grade at the same school I've been working out, and she was telling me she felt the same way, so I don't think it's just that I'm not used to it. It's rewarding, but oh lord, so many children, so much micromanaging, so much crowd control and refereeing and policing.

Yeah, that makes sense. I have a job that has next to know interpersonal interaction, and I'm STILL tired at the end of the week

I'm very introverted in that I need a lot of time to recharge and be alone after being out and about, so while I'm okay doing this kind of stuff all day, it can be very draining.

Totally random question: where does "ivanolix" come from? I am so intrigued by it I can't even tell you.

[ivanolix.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's why I'd never take that kind of job XD

It's a bunch of letters/sounds that, when put together, "sound" like me. If that makes sense >__> I'm the kind of person who invented her own language, so I have weird ideas about words.

That's really cool! It sounds very esoteric and unique, so it's awesome that you made it up yourself.

Some weeks can be very exhausting but for the most part I love it. I always get confused when there is a long weekend or I have a day off because I keep thinking it's Monday instead of Tuesday or I come back to heaps of work. You do get used to it and it's easier if you like the people you work with. I'm very lucky in that respect.

Good co-workers absolutely make the difference! I've been lucky that everyone I've worked with has been really nice.
