period-brain sucks

R says the girl with depression got back together with her ex, so I'm still loveless. Tho I can drool over Ronson without guilt, so yay for that.
Dumbass/Princess Nepotism is taking yet another vacation. I swear it's like her 3rd one. How the hell does she have that many vacation hours? Her daddy is a manager at Presumptions R Us so maybe it's blatant favoritism?
Damn monthlies started. I slept all damn day Friday to where Mom was like "are you alive up there?" But sleeping through the worst of the cramping was nice. So I feel drained as usual. Between womanlies and work my brain is not functioning well. I even forgot my cellphone. I left it in my pyjama pants so I had no phone during work.
And the damn period-brain struck again with a homeless lip balm like thing that I couldn't find where it went and I had to put other stuff away so it went in my apron and then I forgot it. Oops. It has no home tho and now that it's here I feel bad for the thing (it's just a lip balm... it doesn't have feelings, Honor....) cuz work will just throw it away and and I want to keep it. Ugh.
Damn near took the work keys home too. Luckily I have one of those security tags on the work keys so when I beeped everyone laughed at me & I remembered to put the keys back.
Stupid period-brain.
I got my non-glitchy old Zelda cartoons running on repeat cuz they relax me a bit. I still haven't written or drawn anything new. I have been stuffing my face with Cheetos and my biggest weakness: Reeses Chips Ahoy. They are chocolate chip cookies with mini Reeses peanut butter cups in them in addition to the chocolate chips. Sinful sinful yum.
Am also trying to pay my cellphone bill on my phone but it keeps sayins my credit card is expires and when I try to update my card it says "cannot process request. Try again later"
Sigh.

I got stuck working 7 days in a row, then my 1 day off I dogsat for daddie dearest, then another 4 days. So yesterday & today are my 2 days off (when did I become fulltime? This sucks!) So ofc I slept all day yesterday, played Sims all night, and here I am still awake. I have done nothing worthwile thus far. No drawing or writing or music. Bad me. And right now I need sleep. I miss having recharge time. It is hard to be creative when I feel drained. But I'm going to have to find a way. Because what if work doesn't go back? I can't spend half my time off playing Sims! And work's pressure is only going to get worse, even if I do go back to part time. Now that the total sales at makeup counter are up, they're pushing to get a higher percentage of makeup/skincare/hair type items. In addition to the high totals. Sigh. I am actually being told to look at people with dollar signs in my eyes.
I have got to get out of there....
it is better to be poor and enjoy my work.
So I must somehow find a way to be creative and inspired even when drained from work.
*sigh*

attempting an experiment...

I just made a test youtube video and i'm trying to figure out how to upload it.
Please note the test vid is crap. i pulled my long-suffering viola out and played a few bits without practice, by ear. Also if the volume is up you might hear my cat whining in the beginning. i dunno. i heard it when for some reason the volume was uber-high when i first threw the wav file into Movie Maker. i made some fast MSPaint bitmaps to just throw into Movie Maker.
And somehow the last 3 seconds of the wav file got cut off. no idea how that happened.

Hmm... apparently Youtube has video editors? or something? I have no clue what I'm looking at.
Ok.. there's the "drag and drop" upload thingy...
ok it says it's uploaded.
pick a title.. and a pic to represent my sad little test in search results...

Ok.. apparently there's a review process or something?

they're telling me my vid will be live at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNLAz-BUY4 when it is ready to be watched.
I am amused at the BUY4 that is in the address. There's nothing to buy here.. but plenty to laugh at!

"We have detected a way to improve your video's cropping."
That doesn't surprise me.
I don't know what I'm looking at.. so when in doubt "Revert to original"
I mean.. i intended it to go up as is cuz i don't understand the online editors and i've heard that online-edited vids will get changed sometimes if youtube coding changes. So in theory staying as close to the original "raw file" as possible will keep it as intact as possible.
In theory...

so yea... ok

that's supposed to be the test vid's location. Let me know if it shows up.. if you can hear it... basically if it works. I swear the volume is crazy. It was insanly loud when i put it into movie Maker, but soft when i played it on Media player. And my youtube preview had it at half volume. So i don't know what's going on.

And i'll worry about adsense for youtube some other time. Current goal is to figure out how to post.

testing continues

And I have been very bad girl and stayed up all night again. Why didn't I post from computer? Moron... anyway I was looking for an audio extractor that could turn my keychain camera's avi into a wav or mp3. I found one, a freebie (thus far no catches) called Pazera and it worked on the internet computer. Now I gotta install it on my bedroom computer. But I'm sooooo tired.... I want to sleep. Gotta at least stay up until my laundry is in the dryer tho. Much as I love hanging laundry outside, we got thunderstorms forcast and no way am I gonna be awake to pull the clothes in.
Grrrr... I gotta find that adhesive drawer liner paper. My white t-shirts are all yellow on one side!
Heehee.... while looking up the weather forcast I saw a link for old fashioned swinsuit pics and even farther back.... the "bathing machine" heehee! I'm so glad I didn't live in those times. But I still like the clothes.
