Procrastination

I finally got all of the necessary paperwork I need to start applying for certain jobs (long story short, keep copies of anything you sign like non-compete agreements and such, because trying to get your hands on things later on down the road is a nightmare) and I have a thing to add to my resume. I was gonna do it yesterday, but I put it off. I was gonna do it this morning, but I put it off. I'm definitely gonna do it tomorrow, because at this point I honestly hate myself for working where I work. I need to kick my ass into gear. I want out.

Jean Jackets

Getting winter stuff ready, my jean jacket somehow ended up missing. The other week, Dala and I found a really nice one at Target for about $40, but unfortunately we had to return it because the first time I tried it on, I discovered it was missing a button. They didn't have another my size, so exchanging was out of the question, and between then and today Dala found my old one which happens to be a Levi brand and it's kind of cheap and thin and it still holds up but I want a thicker one.

Anyone know of any good denim jackets for less than $100? Sub $50 would be even better. Nothing fancy, like lining or anything, just a simple, quality jacket that'll hold up well. flac? arguewithatree? _refugee_? goobster?

Users Coming and Going

mk predicts we have a chance of having an influx of Redditors in the near future. It's exciting to think about the prospect, who they'll be, what their interests are, what kind of conversations they'll bring, how they'll fit in, etc. New faces are always awesome.

In the past month, Hubski seemed to have lost two users who I really enjoyed having around. Neither one of them made any parting statements, I just noticed one day they were here and the next, not, so I'm not gonna name them because I think if they wanted to say "goodbye" they would have. Still, it sucks to see them go, because both of them always had interesting and exciting things to say and they were genuinely neat people.

Windows 3.1

Sometimes I wax nostalgic for Windows 3.1 for no reason at all, other than the fact that it was literally the best iteration of Windows ever and anyone who says otherwise either A) knows they're wrong and won't admit it or B) don't have a clear grasp of the facts at hand.

Wait, why are we expecting an influx of Reddit users?

I have a jacket fetish. I own far more than I will ever use.

But all my quality clothing comes from Carhartt. I regularly wear these three: The Basic, The Vest, The Rainwear.

I don't have a fetish, but I do co-ordinate and wish I had more jackets than I do. Mental check off, I have 2 leather jackets (one burnt to a crisp cause irresponsible room mates are irresponsible), one jean jacket, 2 faux wool lined canvas jackets, a faux wool lined hoodie/jacket combo. a sports jacket, and then two hoodies that I wear in combination with my 2 faux wool lined canvas jackets on really cold days. ALL BOUGHT ON CLEARANCE because fuck paying full price for winter clothes when you know you can wait until spring and then cash in.

Sometimes, on a day where I have nothing going on, I'll google random jackets to see what I like. My problem? I'm a boring dresser. Mostly earth tones, mostly flannel shirts and jeans. The jackets that I look at and think "neat!" are often way not my style and often, definitely out of my price range. I like Carhartt stuff though. I'm gonna check them out. Thanks for the advice!

Edit: Kind of liking their Berwick jacket.
