Been awhile since I really updated something here but as my time sitting in about 8 square feet 50 hours a week draws to a close. I have been living on these songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf4euAs7LY8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBgp5aDH23g
Although I have said it is a stressful day if this comes out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9c2WTCj0Pk and frankly I have days where I played it straight though, the whole 10 hours. If I am Karaokeeing 00s Emo rock to a questionable skill level, it's a good day.
I look forward to the summer term break so to say and the fact that beyond fighting with the Kentucky Unemployment office to answer their goddamned phones so I can get the stuff they need to freaking log in and make a claim. This will give you a nice ideahttps://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/kentucky-unemployment-line-still-hanging-up-on-people-trying-to-regain-access-to-accounts/article_917bde6c-9ee9-11eb-8aa0-037fbfbcb363.html but in reality our governor likes hearing himself talk about people with coronavirus and who died of it DAILY on TV than actually you know, seeing to something that affects well over 350000 of our state. I say this because that was about the peak of Unemployed in my state. And even if they are back to work they need the tax document so if they waited until the 15th to start filing or even now to try and get in, well fuck that shit. You ain't gettting it and ain't getting what you need. (Oh boy the wrath of the IRS as many will just leave it off..... like I said, tax pro and by god I want to just throttle my governor into the ground as much as he mishandles this stuff. The IRS has ways to verify you, private sectors do when signing tax returns digitally, so yeah, it's not like you have to make it this hard.
But you did not come here to read about my rants on how KY's governor made himself hated in a fraction of the time his very hated predecessor did. (Took the current guy one month. Literally 95% of our counties because Second Amendment sancutraries based on what the governor said he'd back in a very controversial bill. That's quite an achievement. One month and you're hated. The COVID situation dug his hatred deeper by many in the populace. But that's just summarizing it Not what you came here for)
June will start my final semester of college. When I am done with this, I will have my BA in accouting. I am currently looking at Graduate programs, thinking on if I need to go CPA or MBA or both. Heck there's joint JD/MBA programs I could also maybe try to get CPA as well. I already have the EA after my name, why not go the gammot and have more?
But at the same time it's like "Why? Why work yourself to death?" Money? Sometimes it can be rather unfufilling. I'm better than I had it before with this, but I'm like "Why?" I could use it to get bigger companies to invest in this region, one so overlooked it's criminal. Heck people pay attention to the inner city more. I have grimly said Appalachia and Inner City have many the same fundemental problems just different backgrounds. Like Poverty Grey or Green editions. Once again, not this topic.
But as for the moment I will keep an eye on the wonderful things summer brings like warmer weather, lower power bills, and time to myself to sleep and try and undo the damage working a desk job 50 hours a week does to your waistline. On the 15th I will be in PA with my mom and brother then a week out west. Still trying to figure out things to do there in the Utah and Las Vegas areas. Heck I am so cooped up I don't mind TSA as much of a pain they can be. Heck I got a new suitcase for the trip and learned well the last time that while Samsonite cases from the 80s have that retro cool feel, they are heavy as hell once you load them up and back in the 80s you didn't have to pay 5 bucks to rent a cart to take your bags from the car to the check in area. Southwest is awesome, fair price and one free check bag, don't fly Spirit if you can help it. Unless you are very good at preparing for stuffing all your life in a backpack. Not cool.
So back during the Quarentine I started really watching Hetalia. (And find out there's a new season coming in Spring 21 has me excited. ) Today I'm at home not doing much and figured, hey I haven't watched my Histeria DVDs in awhile so after I had binged a little Hetalia I put in Histeria. And put it on the World War 2 episode. Oh boy...... the Yalta Conference one I could pretty much imagine a Hetalia meeting going like that just because Histeria was aimed at the kids and they only got away with David Farragut saying "Damn the torpedos" because it was historically accurate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Farragut Fun fact, Farragut served under Matthew Perry in the Mexican American war. Now that relates to this discussion because Matthew Perry led the expeidention that opened Japan up to the rest of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_C._Perry
Heck I have said to people that Hetalia is what happens when you mix Histeria with Drunk History. And with those being two shows I really like....well....
Funny thing is about a month ago I had a US history course I had to do for college and was working on the assignments, I often had Hetalia playing in the background. Got excellence certificates for the assignments I handed in. So assignments I half ass while watching an anime with enough historical content to be considered historical satire, I get an award for it. Never mind when I was doing the work for the chapters on the Cold War, I could not stop laughing when perestrika was mentioned. (Being a big RusAme shipper did not help this one bit)
As for serious topics, I got a promotion at work and it starts on the 16th. I don't know how this will go as I will be helping the people who help customers but I do know I will get a pay raise. I'm going to be making 27 an hour and in peak that's going to pay well with overtime. :iconimhappyplz: Part of the reason I am looking to get my one fic The Longing of the Heart https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13716876/1/The-Longing-of-the-Heart finished.
