My day off

Last thursday was a holiday, so I had planned to take friday off for a superlong weekend.
Of course, I was neither the only nor the first one to have come up with that glorious idea - bottom line: I HAD to work, because otherwise the office would've been empty. Adding insult to injury, there was also work to do. Bah.
Fortunately for me, i got THIS Friday off. And next monday's going to be a holiday, too, so here's a hooray for a few days of not having to take care of 4 shipments at the very same time (you wouldn't believe how confusing it can be to coordinate so many shipments. Sometimes I feel I deserve more money for doing this...).
Anyway, enough about work. Let's talk about how I'll spend today with cleaning the apartment. Because that's why I originally wanted a day off.
It's especially because of doing laundry, to be honest. Since my dryer is broken, I can only use the household-dryer. Which involves dragging an estimated 10 tons of wet clothes up and down two stories. I'm a woman, I'm small, and I'm weak. Go figure how much I love doing this.
Also, I usually don't have time to dry the laundry during the week, so I usually have to do it during the weekend. And of course, May was a busy, tiring month, so I was glad to be able to get some breath during the weekend. Doing laundry? Pff...
So, here's the scoop: with the amounts of dirty laundry I have, you could dress up an entire elementary school (though I don't think the bras would look good on them... and yes, the pun at my height was intended ;))

Apart from that, Mark's flying to Barcelona on Sunday, so I'll be on my own next week. Meh. It's been a while. I dread the lonely nights... On the other hand, I can completely focus on the comic, which isn't so bad.
Because I'm freshly out of ideas. Probably because this month has been sucking the energy out of me like nothing. I swear to god, I'm more zombie than human at this point. 50% of my sentences feature complete gibberish that nobody, including myself, is able to understand. And here I was always proud to have such exquisitely spoken german (for the record, I'm austrian, so my mothertongue is german. SURPRISE!). Ah well...

And new drawing classes starting tuesday. Only downside is that I have to wake up around 7h30AM, because it starts at 9AM. Our society clearly has no mercy for night owls...

Apart from that, European elections. Our parties' campaigns are, as always, ridiculous. I really wonder who writes those stupid slogans.
Of course, the most stupid one was once again from the FPÖ (freedom party of austria, "national conservative", although "Xenophobe" would be more appropriate and "Nazi" isn't so far from the truth either.), which always feature awful rhyming punchlines. This time, it's "Abendland in Christenhand", directly translated "Occident in christian hand" (which, funnily enough, also rhymes in english...).
Just. NO! I have never understood why this party was allowed in the first place, and what shocks me even more is that they're getting votes. And quite a few, as well.

I think that's about it for now. I'm obviously back from being a taciturn loser :D
And I wish you a nice weekend ;)
