Aborted Effort
So I tried goin to work this mornin. I actually lasted through the lunch hour... though, by that time I was not interested in eating at all. I just stayed long enough to cover for the rest of the clerical staff until they were through with their lunch, considering we were shorthanded by one today.
Decorations
Well, actually, I stayed for about a half hour after lunch was over, cuz then we were all standin around discussing tattoos. Yeah, I have one or two. Technically. One anklet on my right ankle, and... well, a fantasy/native american themed mural on my back. And down my waist. And down my right thigh. It's rather large. But discreet. I really don't look the type to have ANYthing, let alone the extensive work I currently sport. And unless I want anybody to know about it... they don't.
One of my coworkers has a few, herself... though much smaller. We were talkin about how old we were when we got them (me: 18, her: 33) and how her 13-year-old son wants one. And that the legal age to get a tat in Amsterdam is 13. I guess her tat artists are from there. Learn somethin new every day. Amway, her son is not going anywhere near Amsterdam til he's at least 18.
Pickin up Where I Left Off
I'll be seein my own tat artist next month when I visit my hometown of San Diego. Well, she's actually in Santa Maria, so I'll be drivin there from S.D. Haven't had any (tat) work done in 10 years... mostly cuz of the distance. Well, and because her rates have gone up to $150/hour. Doh! Twice her rates from when we first did business. Though, she's willing to work with me on the price.
I have about 12-15 more hours left to finish up the artwork I already have... I don't really know if I'll ever get any ADDITIONAL work. I'm kinda running out of discreet square footage, here. But I've decided to spread out the time I need for the remaining work... 3 or 4 hours a pop, each time I fly out west. Which usually happens about every 2 or 3 years. So... hopefully I'll be finished by time I'm 60. At least it'll stay fresh.
Obedience to My Body
Welp... my "you-need-to-eat" migraine is beginning to inch out ahead of my "good-gawd-don't-get-any-food-anywhere-near-me" stomach. Suppose I'll go try to find something that won't overly offend either antagonist.
And then take a nice long nap. *sighing happily at the thought*

We're Back! And Happy. Mostly...

I can vouch for the fact that she DOES NOT look like the type to have any tats... course.. I also thought she was all innocent etc....
Boy was I wrong.. and she's not joking when she said she's got a mural going:) it's a VERY LARGE tat:) but tasteful:)
Why, THANK you, chica! :) *snicker @ "innocent"*
*snickers some more* BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Congrats on your Lost and Found, btw, hon... {{{hugs with a big smile}}}
*points at Just Another Girl* So here's another good friend of mine whom I met through the magical world of the internet. The only one, so far, with whom I've shared my blog. Which follows rather reasonably, since she's the one who got me started on this. Intelligent (well, she's Asian so that's a given... ;P ), no-nonsense, and a self-proclaimed snob... she's an excellent debate partner, not to mention yet another cohort in hilarious IM miscommunications. :)
I am sure to write more about her in the future.
