Odd things

So, I have an interview on Thursday. It's from 2-4, so I obviously had to ask for the time off. My boss asked me what I needed the time off for (like it's any of his business anyway), so I told him I have an interview. He did a mini freak out, as the other girl on my team also has an interview this week. When I first asked him (or rather, told him) that I needed the time off, he said, "Are you serious?" Now come on. What kind of work environment is this? We can't take any time off without being given crap for it?! All the more reason to leave. He also asked me if he'll be "getting a 2 weeks notice or an F U" and I told him we'll have to see what other kind of BS his boss pulls out of his pocket (as most of the BS we get comes from his flaming boss).

On Tuesday, one of the higher-ups approached me and asked what my thoughts were on bringing web development to the company. I told her I would be happier doing that, but I would also need to be compensated for it. It sounds like it definitely will happen, and I would be much happier doing web developing, but I doubt I would still want to work for this company. Every day I come in, it just gets worse. There's always something.

So I went for a group bike ride last night, and on the way back, I got a flat. My first flat! Thankfully Michael was there to save the day. :) I had turned a corner, and my bike suddenly started riding kinda rough. I thought it might be the road, but it still didn't seem right. Then it started wobbling, and I got kinda freaked out and stopped. I yelled to Michael ahead of me that "something's wrong with my bike." He was skeptical, but I refused to get on it, saying it was wobbly. I seriously thought my bike was falling apart. After looking closer, he noticed I had a flat, lol. He taught me how to change a flat, but I'm not sure I would have been able to do it alone. There were a ton of people that got flats on last night's ride. One guy got two flats... the second one was at the same place I had mine, and also from a staple. After the ride, some of the other riders and I went for a bite to eat.

I'm loving my apartment! I'm not loving the fact that I don't have a washer/dryer. I may have to go do some washer/dryer shopping... So, I still haven't heard any of my neighbors, which is fabulous. It's really clean, I love my bedroom, I love my kitchen, though it is kinda tiny. One weird thing, though... I keep hearing some of my dishes rattle, I think. It sounds like my Pyrex bowls lightly banging against each other or something. It seems to happen after the air shuts off, so maybe that's it. I'm trying not to think of what else would make them rattle (:shudder:). I'll have pictures up soon!!

I'd forgotten what it's like to spend nights alone. Since I've never lived alone, I never had this problem before, unless whomever I was living with went out of town or weren't staying the night for whatever reason. So, whenever I'm alone at night, my mind starts running rampant, and I begin hearing noises coming from other rooms. I have a vivid imagination at night... :) I'm having some really crazy dreams, too.
