Sustained Silent Reading
I had a horrible day. It seemed like it was going to be fabulous, but this one incident just turned it around, completely negating all the good stuff.
Let me start out with the good:
For the past week, I felt like I’ve been a major bitch to the new guy. I’m just sick of his stupidity. Completely over it! He doesn’t know how to use a computer, and he tries too hard to be friends with everyone in the office. It’s like, “Bitch, please! I don’t even know you!” Okay, so not only does he not know how to use a computer during this day and age, but he also doesn’t know how to act around people. I can’t help but want to stab him.
You can only imagine my glee when my supervisor revealed how annoyed she was with him and his fucking questions. It looked like she wanted to choke a bitch when he asked her how to do something so inane for the 50th time.
I felt so relieved! It’s not just me. I emailed my friend at work about this and she replied with, “Who the fuck doesn’t hate this guy? It’s ridiculous how retarded he is.”
That put a smile on my face for a long ass time.
Also, there was talk of having him do stuff that doesn’t require as much brain power. Excellent.
The second thing that made my day was talking to Annie about “Thank You”. She totally agrees that Jang Hyuk and Shin Sung Rok are super attractive men. Why are the Koreans so good looking? I’m seriously in love with Shin Sung Rok. I know he looks like a typical Korean guy, but there’s something about his mellow face that I can’t resist.
Just look at that dumb face! I love him.
I have my next K-drama lined up: “Three Dads and One Mom” (that’s where the promo pics are from). I know it sounds weird, but my love for SSR will take me anywhere—even if it means bad K-dramas. Supposedly it’s funny, but we’ll see. He plays a fucking cop who lives with his mother! It’s got to be good.
Also, since my hair type is kind of like his, I think I’m going to drop the Agyness-do, and just go with what he has. It looks pretty good with wavy hair, which is what my hair is like naturally. See, I knew it—we were meant to be.
OK, so now for the bad:
I mentioned in my last entry that I knew someone who could sew something for me. Well, I brought the stuff over to her and she ended up getting in trouble for it. Her “supervisor” yelled at her and I think threatened to fire her. I also got yelled at a bit. The guy was a total douche, but I think it’s because he thought whatever she was working on was bigger than it actually was. Like seriously, my thing took her two minutes, and he was saying that it threw off the entire production schedule.
Even though she finished the shirts, I was really not in the mood to revel in them, let alone look at them. I felt so guilty for the rest of the day. This woman could have possibly been fired because of me and my stupid shirt. I don’t know if I can live with that. She was super nice about it and told me not to worry. I don’t know what I can get her to show her my gratitude.
Just as I was about to leave work, one of my friends dropped a huge bomb on me and it made me feel even worse. I can’t share what she told me here, but let me just say that I never want to go through the things she has been through. It just fucking sucks.
I came home and made myself look at the shirts, and eh, they didn’t come out as I envisioned. I guess there’s a lot more to designing clothes than I thought.
It looks a lot better when I wear it. This is the shirt that came out the best. The fabric for the ribbon is a patterned silk, and cost me less than 50cents. The shirt is a track shirt from AA, the TR456. She kind of sewed the tag to the ribbon, but I am not complaining.
However, I am still not 100% satisfied with the shirt itself. I feel like the v-neck is just too deep for a t-shirt. Also, the ribbon was sewn too high up on the collar, so it has no base and kind of flaps around. I guess it’s not a big deal, but I would’ve sewn it onto the shirt so it doesn’t look like a collar itself.
But like I said, I am so grateful that I even have it the way it is now. Super grateful. I will wear it to work as soon as my period bloat dies down. And by the way, my period is here a week early. UGH.
TMI? Well, tfb*.
Here’s how the second shirt turned out:
The fabric for the ribbon is excellent. It feels like paper made of polyester if that makes any sense. But I feel like it contrasts too much with the sheer jersey, the AA 6456. It really looks like a tae kwon do outfit gone wrong. Or maybe it’s the color of the shirt that’s throwing this piece off. I think the fabric for the ribbon would look better on the grey shirt. The ribbon is also way too long in this case. Maybe the white shirt is a total loss? The sleeves are weird and the size is all wrong.
Again, it does look better when I’m wearing it. I am just not including any pictures of me because 1) I’m super bloated (ugh, my calves are like twice the size they normally are, my boobs are swollen, and my stomach makes me look like I’m well into my first trimester), 2) although my hair is looking pretty fabulous today (getting more and more like SSR every minute) I just don’t feel like having my picture taken, and 3) I don’t have a tripod or a good place to set my camera and my sister is a bitch.
But I will leave you with another promo pic of SSR:
The other two aren’t so cute, but SSR? *swoon* I want him. Ohhh, hormones!
So I guess I’m going to be taking up sewing. My mom thinks this is a great excuse to finally get a sewing machine. I’m sure if I had one, I would definitely start making my own clothes. I would even make clothes for Gob! I love going to Joann’s Fabrics and just feeling everything. There were a lot of fabrics that I touched that day that made me think, “Damn, I wish I were more domestic.” But don’t worry, gang—I still hate cooking. I leave that to the experts.
*tfb = too fucking bad
