i just got a new "low profile keyboard", because i have become so used to typing on a netbook that the elevated keys, and clacking of the keyboard i've used since my first story was written have begun to drive me insane. not to mention it's a blow to my typing speed to have to keep switching back and forth from the two very different keyboards.

I've got a First Aid refresher course tomorrow.  It's a two day deal.  I'm wondering how much they'll refresh because I don't remember much.  The only thing I've done since initially passing is pick glass out of some guy's skull.  Felt like a chimp.

Working thirteen hours in a hospital on a Sunday when the ward is quiet and the patients are all well behaved is boring as fuck.

Thank god the IT guys haven't got round to putting this site on their filter list yet. It will happen, of that I have no doubt, but maybe I'll get a week or so.

Possibly, though to be honest I think the IT guys live in the walls or something. No idea where their office is. I have a feeling that if I go out looking for them, it's gonna be the start of some ridiculous adventure that gets me killed, or worse.

First Aid course was good.  We've got this instructor guy who's got a steel hip and talks about himself in third person.  He says 'he says' before whatever he says.

Charges you and says, 'He says, doing a great job, sunshine.'

Crackers.

I have a water flask that occasionally makes a high-pitched squealing for no apparent reason. I've come to understand that the flask wishes to communicate. I'm communicating with the flask. We talk almost all the time.

ive made the discovery that im perhaps too hard on other people's writing in academic settings. i dont know if this is because so much of it is about the idea, and how clearly that is stated, and thats different from how i approach critiquing fiction, or what....

I would just like to announce that I am now in a deep existential slump because I just got my grade for a personal essay project and made 187.5 out of a possible 200 and I'm not happy about that.

I shall now commence to drinking milkshakes, eating cookie dough, and channel surfing, wondering why I am trying to be a writer in the first place.
