Back to the NoJoMoing….

Yep I’m turning into a NoJoMo slacker.  Guess that’s bound to happen though when you get hit with a harder sickness and not just the common cold/flu.  I’m still not 100% yet but considering where I was last week till now…huge difference.  It’s nice to easily get in and out of bed.  I don’t have to sit there and will myself to sit up and then get out of bed to do some simple task.  But I’m on the road to recovery and that’s what matters.  At least I can look forward to a nice 3 day work week next week.  The best part of that is it’s free days off with pay thanks to the holiday week!  Can’t go wrong with that.  Although that also starts the official time of me hating stores and shopping.  We start the time of year where I dread having to go anywhere near stores especially on the weekends.  See I can handle crowds when it’s not a bunch of idiots.  But this time of year brings out the worst.  It brings out the people who want to block aisles and then give you dirty looks when you want to go through.  It brings out the people who think that the best place to stand around and talk is the middle of aisles.  No.  If you want to talk to someone…step to the side.  Don’t block the way and then get annoyed when people walk in the middle of your conversation or want to get through.  You’re the one being rude in the first place.  It’s just the start of people only thinking of themselves and not others.  It’s like if I’m at a store and run into someone…I get out of the middle of the aisle to talk to them.  I don’t stand in the middle and try to block as much space as possible.  I don’t then get ticked off when people want to pass through.  I don’t want down the middle of the parking lot aisles especially when I know a car is there.  I don’t walk in the middle of the store aisles going slow knowing I’m blocking people who might be in a little hurry.  But that’s the season we’ve got. 

J lucks out.  Minus shopping for me he won’t be dealing with that stuff.  He’ll give me money towards stuff for my parents and then the rest is up to me.   But regardless I’m the one doing all the shopping and trying not to kill people as I do it.  lol  Plus I’m sure the usual will happen which is my parents having me help them shop for each other.  I swear around this time of year I could start a part-time job as a personal shopper.  I need to just hurry up and figure out what I want to get everyone and then go from there.  That way if I at least have some type of idea I should be able to get in and out of stores quicker and have to deal with less annoying people who kill the holiday spirit.  I also need to figure out the one gift for one family member that I had been creating.  I haven’t found a frame that’s the size I need so I might have to try and shrink things down a bit and go from there and make the frame I got work.  That might be the easier option.  Not the ideal but sometimes life isn’t ideal.  Okay so this entry is lacking but I wanted to get something posted before I go yet another day with no post for NoJoMo so this will have to do for now.  Plus I’m just lacking anything exciting to write about.  Guess I’m going to have to break down and find a few good prompts to do.  I swear that’s one downside to NoJoMo….the fact it’s hard (at least for me) to write a bunch of interesting entries…one a day.  For the most part my life is boring.  It would consist of…woke up, got ready for work, went to work, worked, came home, relaxed, went to bed and repeat for a total of 5 days and then let the weekend begin.  Granted the weekend isn’t much more exciting.  It just gets to not include work which is always a plus.  lol  I promise to try and make my next entry better and a bit more exciting.  Yipee!

I agree with your note, I think you hit the nail on the head – they’re survey questions. Possibly even stolen from Surveys found in the Survey circle. Still, the woman that runs it has a hectic life and isn’t a mogul, she’s just some woman, so I guess the whole system relies on suggestions from participants and clearly we’re all just as lacking in mojo and inspiration!!! I guess people enjoy answering surveys anyway. Urgh, people in public places piss me the holy fuck off. People who stop in the middle of supermarket aisles, people who decide the best place for a chat is in front of the cash machine or in a doorway… the most ridiculous thing is that we would all have plenty of room if people were just more mindful of their personal space and the way they move in a crowded area. Then I think to myself, you’re a freakazoid and normal people can’t be expected to treat life like an obstacle course.
