Snapdragon, sunflower, tulip :)

ANOTHER ONE OH GOOD.

snapdragon - favorite mythical creature?

Oooh, probably selkies? I think they’re pretty awesome.

sunflower - sun or moon?

I’m a night owl, so definitely moon.

tulip - lucky number?

Four. Every address (up until I bought my house) I’d had had a four in it. My office number has a four. The number four follows me everywhere.

Exciting News!

Years after starting this blog I have finally come up with a username that feels more "me" than what my insomniac brain decided on once upon a time.

I need a visual of this scumbag so I can properly visualize punching him in the face

Haha, no worries, it’s not that big a deal, I honestly found it more amusing than anything else. People really like to shout at dispatchers for things they know we didn’t do--I think it’s because both the parking services people and the police officers are too intimidating. The PS guys can impound your car, and the cops are...well. Cops. Dispatchers, though, we just talk to people! Pretty safe targets, as far as most people are concerned. I’ve gotten really good at ignoring everything they say, answering all their questions in a soothing professional voice at a decibel they just barely can’t hear under their own shouting, and then walking away behind my double-locked doors before they realize they have no idea how to fix their problems. Then they either have to leave and figure it out on their own or suck it up and come to the window to ask me nicely if I’ll repeat myself.

#randomactsofinsanity #replies #a while ago I actually had a lady get hella mad all red in the face and shouting and everything #and then just stop mid-sentence and say 'you didn't have anything to do with it though did you' and utterly deflate #it was pretty great #people's anger management problems are not on my list of things to deal with so I just sort of let them run themselves down #my boss seems to approve #which kind of just means I get sent to deal with all the shouty ones but is still a nice sentiment #god I'd have been in so much trouble if I laughed at the man though it would've been a disaster #it was just the ridiculousness of it that hit me #right in the sleep-deprivation (my most sensitive spot)#the mental image of the tiny circular dog and the actual image of this man who was like /maybe/ five six shouting at me #people are wild

Yay, I love it when you are here and I love song of the day! I’m back in the US and am now dragging my feet about preparing for Americorps service starting in March

Yay!!!! How was Ireland? Did I miss more pictures while I was gone? What’re you gonna do for Americorps?

#randomactsofinsanity #replies #so many exciting things!

Maybe you can try killing it with your new levels of rage?

I, uh. May possibly have, somewhat, shorted the speakers out, a tiny tiny bit. The alarm is still functional! No law has been broken here! No important law! But the beeping has been slain.

#randomactsofinsanity #replies #it's a very small short and I know where the electrical tape is so I can fix it again before I leave #and anyway I already mentioned to the guy (who wouldn't come out 'just for a nuisance call') that the speakers have died #so that's been added to the maintenance ticket and will be fixed first thing when people come on shift tomorrow morning #and since I'm the person who'll be in here working with the system for the vast majority of the time between now and then #I feel like it's a reasonable bit of workplace sabotage #and for the good of everyone involved really #because if I'd had to listen to that beeping for my entire unnaturally long shift there would have been actual bloodshed

yessss, join me

I am loving this show so much! It has so much heart, and the storytelling is solid, and I can’t get enough. I’m halfway through what episodes are available.

Baby's breath and marigold :)

baby’s breath: 5 things you associate yourself with: books, baked goods, music, sleeplessness, trickster stories

marigold: what’s your favorite tea? I talked about Daunt’s Broken Fang tea when I answered this a bit ago but now I’m wondering if it’s not actually Daunt’s The Beast. (but really it’s still iced sweet tea)

#asks #randomactsofinsanity #also I'm starting to associate myself with phones ringing and people getting mad about being put on hold #and it's making me sad #I don't like putting people on hold!#but I can only talk to one person at a time and also most of these calls are /nonsense/#I'm going to talk to the lady reporting a possible domestic disturbance #and everyone else is just going to have to talk to the 'call holding' bwoop and deal with it #and then you know call back later and demand to speak to my supervisor #(junior make the freshmen parents stop being mean to me why are they all so angry all the time)

that’s totally a legit reason to take off from work!

I wiiiiish. We’re already one down because my partner walked out a couple weeks ago, so I’m working half the night alone and half the night with a guy borrowed from the alternate shift, and he hates my officers and nobody would have fun if they had to work together without me as a buffer, so. Baking will happen Friday night/Saturday morning and it will be all the more soothing for the wait

@randomactsofinsanity replied to your post:

Let me know how your porkchop recipe goes?

I will! I have high hopes for it, it seems really promising. If I can get a decent picture to come out (always a risky proposition) I’ll put one up here
