uncharacteristically
I posted earlier (if cryptically) about the work stress I'm experiencing right now. It's just getting worse and I've come to the realization that I have to start implementing an escape plan ASAP.
God, I hate this. I hate the thought of spending my weekend working on my résumé and my website and my contacts. (Especially when I want to spend it writing fic and reading books.) I hate that the Best Job Ever is now something I have to flee, not because the job itself sucks, but because the company is going under.
And I hate that things are going to change. I don't like change.
I'm in the position right now where I could either find a new job -- and I think I should be able to, at least I hope so -- or try to make a go of it with contract work. I'm a web developer/programmer and so it's the kind of thing that's easy to do from home, if you can get the work in.
I don't have kids or a mortgage and I've already paid off my student loans. I have a long-term partner who is employed. We're not going to starve or even have to cut off our cable internet. It's not the end of the world.
But that doesn't mean I don't hate it.
I need a pint of stout and a sappy InuKai.

Lemme just tell you that it can't be any less fun than trying to get certified to teach in PA. Cause PA is freaking insane.
I have no inui/kaidoh handy, but have a cookie:

"See ya!" Kazuhiro gives Kobayashi a last smirk and a little wave with his fingers, then saunters off down the hall, leaving Kobayashi staring after him with a dangling jaw and a body humming from the drive-by groping. He looks down at his hands and tosses the crumpled flier for the Go club aside with a sneer.
"Aw, he likes you!" Misaki says, appearing at Kobayashi's side to hand him the last few of his papers.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kobayashi scowls down at the first page of his essay, which now has a big sneakerprint on it.
"You know," Misaki waves a hand as they start down the hall to their class, Kobayashi glancing from side to side in case of further assault, "like in elementary school, when you yank on a girl's pigtails to get her attention."
"That how you got that?" Kobayashi looks pointedly at the bruise across Misaki's cheekbone. "Tachiki yanking your pigtails?"
"Shut up." Misaki makes a face and pushes Kobayashi into the classroom.

Do you think Kintaro will pull Sakuno's pigtails?
no subject
I hope he does, cause then Ryoma can say "see, i told you they were too long."
...and I didn't just think about Kintaro/Sakuno/Ryoma. Seriously. *thinks about Katsuo/Arai*
