It doesn't even feel as if I had a weekend now. I'm back in the same pool of doom. It's frustrating to no end not to have enough work to fill my hours with, not to mention the quiet climate of fear that is slowly growing thanks to not so smart comments by management. It reminds me of my PcO days, and I hate it.

So I do my work slowly, excruciatingly slow and think about grad school instead. Download the multitude of forms needed for name changes and try to figure out exactly how many forms of ID I need to show. I truly don't want to go to the Social Security office, but neither do I want to mail them my passport, birth certificate and drivers license. Oddly enough, the passport is the easiest thing to fix and doesn't cost me anything. This is such a pain. I want to do it though.

My livejournal shirt came in the mail today. It is cool. I am also working on a humorous short story about my D&D character Meier.

In the interest of taking advantage of this oh-so-interactive medium, and to help alleviate my incredible boredom, I call upon those people reading right now. Comment, and ask me a question, request I write about something in paticular, etc. Like the interview meme but with less regulation. What do you really want to hear from me today? I'm usually very selfish with my journal and what I write about, so this is your opportunity. Request away.

I rather like my last name, and I don't know what I'm going to do with it. It's fun because (and I look in phone books) I've never met anyone else with my name that isn't in my family.

And I'm an only child, so I'm sort of like a standard bearer for this branch of our Polish tree. My mom has a different last name now too, because she's on her second husband.

And here's another interesting conundrum: being gay I'm really not sure how the last name thing is supposed to go when I get married. ~KMK

I would think that if you found a lovely girl and decided to marry her, the two of you could sit down and decide if you wanted to change names and which name you would like to have. You could go for the hyphen, or there's even a trend starting where couples make up a new last name out of the old ones.

I like the idea of making a new one, that's kind of neat.

Hyphenated names piss me off though. ~KMK
