One of my friends, my lovely bridesmaid Jo actually, was visiting her mom in South Dakota, and decided to Yarn Bomb downtown Rapid City. She's been doing it a couple of weeks, but she made the news today:

The 7 Year Itch... Only Shorter
And no, I am not talking about Jason. :)
It seems that as of my last few jobs, I get right to the 3 year mark, and I bail. I just get so fed up with / sick of them. I am nearing that at my current job... and I honestly don't know if I will be able to make it much longer. Without going into great detail... I feel worthless most of the time. I am made to be more versatile than I want to be. I can cover many people's jobs, and no one seems to care if mine is done or not, until they need something, and then it is "WHY ISN'T THIS DONE!?" There are a few specific people that really get to me, but no matter how much I complain, no matter how wrong they are, when it comes time for punishment, or time to fix the problem, nothing happens. Ever. I just hate it. I am told constantly how "valuable" I am, and how I am irreplaceable, but when co-workers make my life harder, no one seems to care when I get upset or frustrated or have a problem, ever. It’s like there isn't even a point in complaining anymore, because nothing ever gets done. It's really shown in my attitude lately, because I simply just don't care, and I don't want to help. I have been making minimal talk with the majority of my co-workers, but again, none of them seem to care unless they need help someone. I feel like I am drowning.
In other news nothing is happening. When we're not dealing with the daily grind of work, we're dealing with the nightly grind of homework. I just want to be free, and not have to work, or have to go to school, just have the ability to do what I want, when I want. I'll keep dreaming though...
For our first Valentine's Day as husband and wife, nothing really happened. We ran our errands, as Sunday is pretty much the only day that we have available to do so, and that was about it. We exchanged gifts in the morning, Jason got Heath bars, and a big fat book, and I got a stuffed frog, and real frogs! We actually bought the tank a week ago, and I have been adding to it slowly. I've always wanted a fish tank (beyond a glass jar) and we found a really nice 2 ½ gallon one with a filtration system, light and the works. Currently, I have two African Dwarf Frogs, an Otocinclus (which looks like a mini shark, but he sucks all the algae out), and 3 Glass Shrimp. Sadly, I think the shrimp are the most exciting. They are so active, and so comical. I fed the frogs today, which is basically little pellets of food, and the shrimp all grabbed a pellet and looked like they were playing with them. The frogs are active every now and then... and the Otoconclus just sucks... haha, but he looks pretty cool, and I am happy with the entire set up. So cute!
That's it for now.
We need a vacation.
