You are a scholar

One more thing before I go to bed. Can't believe I've been up this late, but fogg_1966 always posts something interesting right before I go to bed or go to work and makes me late. Oh well, I kind of enjoy it. It reminded of something I'd been meaning to write either here or my personal journal. I'm going with here since it's easier.

I'm reading Hamlet again. It was my favorite Shakespearan play when I was in high school that we read. I just loved when Hamlet waxed philosophical about death and why we don't kill ourselves. I felt, once again, that someone understood my pain. I bought a copy of the play by itself in a small book size so I could carry it around. I'm reading it again because I want to study a character that I never paid much attention to and rather took for granted. If you've been reading my LJ at all recently, you'll know the character I'm going to name. I'm reading about Horatio. He was Hamlet's best friend. I haven't gotten very far, but something that I found funny that I didn't remember previously was when Benvolio tells Horatio to talk to the ghost because Horatio is a scholar. No one else has attempted to speak to the ghost, but it's ok now that Horatio, the educated man, is here for he can speak with it! Bet you didn't know that you have to be an educated person to talk to ghosts.

The icon is an ode to my favorite movie version of the play. Is it coincidence that I loved Gilderoy Lockhart after Kenneth Branaugh played him?

Waking up is the best!

It is so awesome. Ok, hold on a second. I have to say that people's "interrogation" skills are sub-par. For example, someone wanting me to talk about my new awesome job says "what else?" Yes, asking me what else is definitely going to get me to open up and talk about something I'm not in the mood to discuss! Great job! Sorry to people who have tried to get me to talk about the new job. I am extremely excited about the new job. But I don't think anyone really cares about the details. No one that didn't try to get a job there already or who might not work there in the future. But I'm sure later I'll fill everyone in. Just not in the mood to really talk in general. Feeling rather taciturn lately. Well that's not true. I've just been quiet outside of work. You really shouldn't ask someone how much they make if you aren't planning on working with them. Someone just asked, I didn't want to say but I did because I didn't want to be an ass. And then I logged off of AIM. Tired of chit chat when I should be watching my show and getting ready for work.

So anyway I was annoyed this morning before I logged on because someone opened and closed my door this morning. I thought I would avoid another repeat of the yelling incident like yesterday so I closed the door. Well today someone opened it and slammed it shut. Again 20 minutes before I had to get up which made me lose some sleep yet again and I went to bed around 1:30 so that meants 5 hours of sleep. So needless to say, I took another hour of sleep. I really am a light sleeper. People should stop disturbing me.

What else? What does it pay? How long before vacation time accrues?
