Intended to sleep in today and run errands in the afternoon -- it being my day off -- but GS is apparently sick with a fever, etc., and PM (the manager) called me at about 9am to ask if I could cover for him. So I was at work from 1-6pm, and there went my lovely naptime. *pouts*
On the bright side, at least one of my tax refunds seems to have come in, because otherwise there is no way to explain the sudden jump in my checking account balance. Yay! Now I can pay my rent for April and May, which was, for a while, looking like it might be damn near impossible.
I really need a better-paying job.
...
Do any people out there need editing advice on essays and whatnot, and if so, are you willing to pay me? I'm actually a very good editor -- I'm exhaustively thorough -- even though it drives me batty if I indulge too often.
--------------------------------------
In a completely unrelated question, does Japanese ever use the consonant combination TS in front of any vowel other than U? Because I see the syllable TSU a lot, but I've never seen TSA, TSE, TSI, TSO, TSAO, etc.
ETA: Thank you to everyone who explained pieces of the Japanese syllabic system! (That stuff about appending Y syllables is absolutely fascinating, for example.)
