Sunday Itchies

I'm itchy with allergies to or from something today. I don't know what. If I had enough cash I'd order something delivered for lunch. But the bank account is low and the cash is lower. I bought bus passes after work last night and that's going to be my last spending spree until pay day this Friday.

Last night at work I was thinking about how I'm a big fan of clock watching. I count down the half and quarter hours till freedom. One job I had the boss got really angry about clock watching. But for me it keeps me sane to know how far away escape is. Maybe I'm just not the type to work for someone else, all the rules. I seem to be able to handle a few rules but get to a limit and then just screw everything up.

I found out something interesting at work, unofficially. I don't think I am in as much danger of being fired as I had assumed. I mean, usually when you are told you will be fired if you screw up once more you figure that's what that means. Last night at work an email was sent around saying the average for everyone is only 63%, about the same as my own. So, I'm not bottom of the barrel, I'm just average. I can still be fired. Maybe it's not such a pressing issue as I had been thinking.

I just finished reading a book by Kassandra Sims. I'm not sure if I liked the story, a little too much blood and murder for me. But, the most annoying thing were all the typos and totally fixable mistakes which a proofreader could have caught. Maybe Tor can't afford to proofread their books. At one point the main character was not there yet her name was substituted for the other character in one sentence. Made reading the book and understanding the plot very tricky. I was ready to stop reading before I was halfway. But, Kassandra Sims is a Canadian writer and I felt I had to get to the end. The end was a let down. Just kind of ended, a lot of blood and murder and then it flopped down like a fish out of water. At least it's done and I can start something else now.
