weather. bah.

Spring is incredibly irritating. I mean, it was warm not too long ago! And I could wear tank tops. And I want to wear one today, but it's only about 45 Fahrenheit. Bother.

I'm going to wear it anyway, but now I'll have to keep a jacket over it. Oh well. At least I actually have some semi-nice jackets these days, so the outfit should come off looking decent. (Upgrading wardrobes from defiantly-casual to socially-acceptable-for-work is a bitca, but worth it overall. There is something to the theory that nice clothes make you feel good about yourself.)

And on a further weather-related note, it's supposed to be rainy this afternoon, during which rain I am going to look at my potential rooms for next year. Stupid rain. Stupid weather.

housing! yay!

I have a room for next year!

*does the happy dance of acquired housing*

*stops when she realizes that people can see in her windows from across the alley*

*feels sheepish*

Anyway, it's in the house in front of my current house (that is to say, it's on the actual street rather than down an alley), and has nice actual windows and a real closet instead of some plywood box that sticks out into the middle of the room. However, I think the closet doesn't have a door, so my homemade closet curtain (sewn by my wonderful sister) will still come in handy.

I also got my IRA contributions mailed off, so today has been quite productive on the RL front. No fanfiction written or edited yet, though. *pouts*

Oh! Funny bureaucracy thing. So I got fired and rehired by my off-and-on New Jersey job (because I get the mail late -- it's forwarded -- and didn't sign up for a fingerprinting appointment by the deadline), and I just got my newest paycheck notice (for March). And it says it's my first of the year.

But I already got two paychecks in January.

They seem to have started a whole new set of files on me after my rehiring, so I now have two different pay records for 2004. I wonder what on earth this is going to do to my W2 forms come tax time next year?

[Meme] poetry quiz thingy

For some reason this doesn't seem to display well in my normal journal format. So I'm trying it behind a cut.

( Personality analysis via poetry... Bah. )
