March is "Questions Month". Ask your question(s) of me and I will answer them as best I can.

I have a question... who decided March was 'Questions Month'?

I'm not sure who decided! But it's been that way for about the 3 years I've been on LJ. Weird huh?

Okay I have some questions:

1. What is a small five minute thing you do that makes you feel okay about life?

2. What are your top five funny TV shows? (Do you even watch five TV shows that are funny? Past ones included?)

3. What is something you love about your job, and something you hate about it?

Answers Aplenty

1. What is a small five minute thing you do that makes you feel okay about life?

Right now it's my recent discovery of icanhascheezburgers.com. Kittehs and goggies are incredibly cute, and I can pop over to that website and get a good giggle even when I'm in the foulest, blackest most soul-sucking mood known to mankind.

2. What are your top five funny TV shows? (Do you even watch five TV shows that are funny? Past ones included?)

I don't watch much t.v. Rob & Cthulhu watch t.v. & I listen to it running behind my back (my computer faces the wall opposite the t.v. & this is where I live). It's mostly cartoons - Family Guy, King of the Hill, The Simpsons, American Dad... and once again, Married... With Children has entered a loop of never-ending re-runs. None of these shows are funny to me anymore since I've memorized all the scripts - now it's like t.v. karaoke.

When I get the opportunity, I do really enjoy The Venture Bros. & Robot Chicken & some Southpark, when it's not over-the-top gross-out humor. I like Alton Brown's Good Eats - while it's not meant to be funny, it is endlessly entertaining... and I loved Mystery Science Theater 3000 when it still had Joel & they would show the whole movie.... ooh oooh, almost forgot Beavis & Butthead ZOMG! So that's 6, but Good Eats doesn't really count.

3. What is something you love about your job, and something you hate about it?

Old about-to-quit job - the love: I like the check-out process because it's fast, efficient and people just want their receipts and they want to go away. I also love the fact that I only have to physically work 3 more days between now & mid-April.
Old about-to-quit-job - the hate: I really hate the way the Excalibur smells. The whole corner of Las Vegas Blvd. & Tropicana smells like raw sewage. Get off the eastbound Tropicana exit from the I-15 about 2pm on a hot, humid August afternoon & the smell hits you before you get off the ramp. It's been completely overwhelming since they started remodeling the pool area last year. Walking to the employee entrance means going right by the area where the funk is the strongest. I feel like I'm carrying it around all day, in my hair & my clothes and my purse. Anything I bring to work is saturated w/this aromatic blend of sewage, old liquor, body odor & stale cigarettes. Which I then have to bring home with me. Joy. Whenever I hear One Headlight by the Wallflowers, I think of the Excalibur... "The smell of cheap wine, cigarettes/This place is always such a mess/Someday I think I'd like to watch it burn..."

The new job - the love: I love the fact that I got this job in the first place. It's taken me 8 years, 2 part-time hourly positions, numerous interviews and countless applications, but I finally got my full-time position with Clark County, and it's in a field related to the classes I'm taking. Finally, fucking finally.
The new job - the hate: I hate the fact that they started me out on word processing instead of real IT work. I wanted to work on teh netwurks and teh intertubes, not processing words, dammit!
