I miss the Instamatic, so hard.

Also, fuck the Instagram.

Eek. Ice storm here. I woke up in the night and could hear it hitting my windows loudly, and it's still coming down. Do not want the power to go out!

If H finds a burner on, the milk left out, the spoon in the knife drawer, or a dish that didn't get clean, he's compelled to show me, and tell me about it. It's not a punishment thing, it's more an assigning responsibility thing. I try not to resent it. In fact, I've brought him dirty spoons and the half-full filter pitcher and dishes shelved in the wrong cabinet... and it all just feels so petty. Fix it. And move on. Right?

I bring stuff like that up to DH because the alternative is waiting until the millionth tiny thing is one tiny thing too much and I wind up screaming WHY CAN'T YOU JUST WASH A FORK LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING when really it's not his fault because he has no fucking clue I was mad about the forks not being clean in the first place. But that's just us.

And us. Though I get more upset when I've brought it up before, but yet it continues to happen despite my reminders. That's when he says I stomp down the stairs with whatever infraction he committed in hand to chastise him about it. It's true, but I can only take so many empty saltine boxes in the pantry (when I've mentioned multiple times that empty boxes in the pantry drive me nuts) before I snap. It's not disrespect on his part; just not in the top 50 of his what's important list.

ita !, I hope you get some pain relief soon. Continued good thoughts and ~ma for your mom.

it is pretty hard to do a bad job unless you have vision problems or are paying no attention.

A former roommate and my sister both only washed the fronts of dishes. My sister also manages to leave them greasy.

No power outage for meara!

It is a sad day for my city-- Eastman Kodak is filing for bankruptcy.

Sad for me too. I wonder if I should go stock up on Kodak film.

Yes, I still use film cameras. I like photography better when I'm using my old manual SLR.

just not in the top 50 of his what's important list.

Yeah, that's the problem, I think -- it's hard to get someone else to remember something that only you care about.

I wonder if I should go stock up on Kodak film.

There's plenty of other quality film, don't you think? I'm going to miss Kodak for a number of reasons, but I was an Ilford girl back when I was in the darkroom myself, and when I can't get them or need colour, Fujifilm has never done me wrong.

It sounds like they are still going to be making film? Maybe:

It hasn't been a big employer in years, so the effect on Rochester is more emotional. Unless they can't pay their retirees, and then we are screwed.

About once a year, my coworker makes the same damnstupid, bloody obviously WRONG mistake and brings the system down around our ears.

I refuse to clean up the mess because HE PERSISTS AT DOING IT AGAIN.

He can explain it.

I am still wrestling with my student worker dilemma.

I spoke with the one girl's supervisor, and the weird thing (about leaving, and then emailing that she was staying) turned out to be a mix-up.

So -- I still like the other girl better, but she is a second semester senior, and I will need to hire again in May and I HATE doing this. But she can work more than 10 hours a week if I need her to.
