I Think My Stash is Too Big….

….Said no knitter ever.

Although I’m afraid I’m approaching the point where I will soon have more yarn than I will ever be able to knit in a single lifetime. I still see no problem in this. I am also not complaining about this fact, as it is just that: A fact that I felt the need to share.

Today I made the attempt to clean out my car again. I succeeded in taking out what didn’t need to be in there, and I cleaned the front and back windshield. Which is something that desperately needed to get done. I made the mistake a while ago of wiping the inside off with my hand when it fogged up. And while it solved my immediate problem, it made the inside super streaky. Which isn’t a problem until I’m driving at night, and the lights from the oncoming cars catch the streaks in such a way that I get a headache when I’m driving in the dark. Which doesn’t happen often. Hence why it took so long for me to do something about it.

I also made the attempt to organize and put away my stash. I have a Roll Away Stash. Its this cedar trunk that rolls under the bed. It keeps my yarn safe, and out of the way. I have to say, I found some really nice yarn in that trunk. Yarn that I forgot about. Yarn that I would love to make into socks. (Because socks are awesome.) I found three skeins of Silky Socks That Rock that are being absolutely wasted just sitting in that trunk. Clearly something needs to be done about this. And fast.

Even though I put most of my yarn away, I still have about two bags worth of yarn that doesn’t fit in the trunk. Luckily, its all acrylic and going to be knit into the blanket I’m working on. Unfortunately, I feel I will be working on this blanket until Christmas, which is when I’m hoping to gift it to my brother. What’s another five months of looking at a pile of yarn though? At least if you trip on it, you don’t stub your toes. AmIright?

Last night we went to Mike Smith’s house (one of Sam’s friends.) I got to work on my hat a little more and I’m very pleased to say I’m two rounds away from finishing the crown. We also watched (most of) Office Space. I love that movie. And I feel like I can relate to it very much. Especially when the main character decides he just wasn’t going to go to work anymore. He isn’t going to quit. He just isn’t going to go anymore.

I feel the exact same way about my job right now. I just don’t want to go anymore.

Job searching never blew so much though. I feel like no one is hiring right now. Even if I were to get a crappy part time job to replace my current crappy part time job, I will probably be happier than I am at my current place of employ.

I got snippy with the store manager yesterday because I couldn’t understand why it was okay for my relief to be a half hour late without calling. And without consequence. I really wouldn’t have cared about leaving late. Let’s face it, I get paid hourly. I get paid for the amount of time I spend there on the clock. It wasn’t really hurting me. But I had places to be directly after work. And needless to say, my whole day got screwed up because I couldn’t make it to where I had to be on time. I was ripped.

This person isn’t going to be written up. He’s late every day, and none of the managers give a hoot about it. But I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be written up for saying something about it. Because that is how my store works. I feel like if I get written up again for something that was the direct cause of this one person, I’m going to quit. Its at the point of being ridiculous.

Tonight, I’m hoping for a relaxing evening of knitting and snuggling with my boy. <3
