I don't need to compromise my principles because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes

I'm gonna whine here, people, so bear with me...

MY FEET FRIGGIN' HURT.

There, whining over...

Yeah, so we've officially run out of room for books in the fiction section of the library -- and seeing as we're constantly getting new books in, that's a pretty big problem. So since there's some extra room in the non-fiction section, I've been shifting and condensing books for the past three days in an effort to free up some space. I've easily moved several thousand books this week, and still have a ways to go. :faint:

Then when I got home today, I ended up helping move a couple of washing machines. Ours died a couple weeks ago, but my step-grandparents got a new one and let us have their old one. Those things are HEAVY, especially when someone forgets to drain the water out of them.

So yeah, kinda tired and hurting tonight... but ah well. I'll live.

Meme time, since I can't think of anything else to report.

RULES:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. Tag 5 people.
5. With the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.


HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?
"I Wont' Say (I'm In Love)" from Hercules
(I won't say I'm in love because I'm not, heh...)

WILL YOU GET FAR IN LIFE?
"Deciphering the Signal" from Transformers (live-action)
(Okaaaaay... that doesn't make a lot of sense... there's a secret signal I have to decipher to get far in life?)

HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS SEE YOU?
"Life In a Northern Town" by Dream Academy
(Well, I live in a northwestern town, does that count?)

WILL YOU GET MARRIED?
"Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie" from Mamma Mia
(...I'm not that desperate to get married...)

WHAT IS YOUR BEST FRIEND'S THEME SONG?
"The System Is Down" by Strong Bad
(It makes no sense, but then, most of my friends are crazy people... in a GOOD way)

WHAT IS THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE?
"Jerusalem" by Don McLean
(Seeing as I've never been there and don't plan on going...)

WHAT WAS HIGH SCHOOL LIKE?
"Piano Man" by Billy Joel
(I was involved in music all through high school -- choir and such)

HOW CAN YOU GET AHEAD IN LIFE?
"Decepticons" from Transformers (live-action)
(Decepticons will get me ahead in life? I thought they didn't care about humans)

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS?
"Livin' La Vida Loca" by Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas (from Shrek)
(Wow, dead on :XD: )

WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND?
"My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
(Note to self, avoid boats this weekend...)

THE BEST THING TO DESCRIBE YOUR GRANDPARENTS?
"Autobots" from Transformers (live-action)
(My grandparents are/were Autobots? That would be epic...)

HOW IS YOUR LIFE GOING?
"Two Worlds" by Phil Collins
(Oddly accurate... I do live in two worlds, the real world and my fantasy world...)

WHAT SONG WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
"The Last Unicorn" by America
(You know, I wouldn't mind this being played at my funeral...)

HOW DOES THE WORLD SEE YOU?
"Return To Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins
(Again, oddly accurate -- a lot of the world sees me as not having let go of my childhood)

WILL YOU HAVE A HAPPY LIFE?
"Trogdor" by Strong Bad
("Trogdor was a man! I mean, he was a dragon-man! Uh... maybe he was just a dragon! Um... but he was still TROGDOR!" Hey, it makes no sense, but it's fun!)

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS REALLY THINK OF YOU?
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
(Aw, you guys miss me that much? ;) )

DO PEOPLE SECRETLY LUST AFTER YOU?
"Get Off Of My Back" from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
(I'm guessing that's a no...)

HOW CAN I MAKE MYSELF HAPPY?
"The Scotsman Song" by Bryan Bowers
(I am NOT wearing a kilt...)

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE?
"I Wanna Know What Love Is" by Foreigner
(Find love? Maybe someday...)

WILL YOU EVER HAVE CHILDREN?
"The Winner Takes It All" from Mamma Mia
(I haven't a freakin' clue...)

WHAT SONG WOULD YOU STRIP TO?
"She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel
(No way I'd strip at all... and anyone stripping to this song would be the most boring striptease ever...)

IF A MAN IN A VAN OFFERED YOU CANDY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
"Voulez-Vous" from Mamma Mia
(...dance with him? :confused: )

WHAT DOES YOUR MOM THINK OF YOU?
"What I've Done" by Linkin Park
(Actually, not that far off... Mom's been telling me a lot lately that she's grateful for all I do for the family)

WHAT IS YOUR DEEP DARK SECRET?
"Does Your Mother Know?" from Mamma Mia
(No, she doesn't know all my secrets...)

WHAT IS YOUR MORTAL ENEMY'S THEME SONG?
"99 Red Balloons" by Nena
(Wasn't aware I had a mortal enemy, but the song choice is appropriate...)

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY LIKE?
"The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia" by Reba McEntire
(I'm not that creepy, I swear!)

I have found, while once working at a library and now at a hotel, that a hot bath after work is wonderful. Do take care of yourself.

I deeply desire to be extricated from the dualities, from the judgments; I want to be at the level where it is all about learning instead.
:iconkenyastarflight:
I'll try to. Don't have a bathtub in the house, but a hot shower is good for relaxing too.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

I support well-written, in-character fanfic!

Ouch. I know how that goes: worked in a pharmacy for a while once and it's not easy to stand for hours on end, especially if one has to move heavy objects as well.

My current job is more of a desk job (I do IT support these days) but I still have to haul heavy computers around.

Try to find a cushy chair and collapse for a while. :)

The darkness is my greatest comfort and my ultimate weapon.

Yup, Any relaxation can help.

Dunno if you ever do much standing in one place at work (probably not if my own experiences are anything to go by), but if you do, anti-fatigue mats are amazing things. One wouldn't think a half-inch of squooshy rubber would make much difference, but we got some at the shop I worked at in Canada, and wow, they made standing in front of a workbench the whole day a lot easier on the feet. I still wonder if you'd get the same effect by glueing the rubber to your shoes.

Doesn't normally. Still, I think I need to look into getting gel insoles or something...

The problem there is that most of my job entails running around the library to shelve, organize, and shift books. (My boss jokes that I need roller skates to do my job properly... :XD: ) Maybe some gel insoles will help, though...

The best I can do here is just take the time to sit down once in awhile and rest my feet. Luckily, I get to sit down to remove stickers from books and to check the computer for any reserves that might have been made. Every bit helps.
