hi, I'm Cassie, I'm 26 years young. And if you know me in real life you might want to stop reading right about... NOW

Still here?
cool!

The first thing you should know about me is that I'm a Slasher.
And a geek.
And damn proud of both.

Fandom and my friends are the most important things in my life. I work to live, not live to work. I live for gigs, for doing the things that make me happy. Happiness is the one of the most important things any person can have.

I love, amongst other things, slash fanfiction, music, gigs, reading, shopping, pizza, chocolate, tattoos, piercings, tarot, angels, faeries, cherries, polka dots, plaid, the internet, my friends, Star Wars, Good Charlotte, Beat Union, Supernatural, Christian Kane, Steve Carlson, Riley Smith, Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Simple Plan, Hilary Duff, MC Lars... it's a fairly endless list haha

My journal is NOT friends only
I openly blog about... pretty much any/everything... my friends, my family, my job, my sex life, dreams, wishes, fantasies... i post fanfiction and fangirling and rambling and poetry and articles and essays and memes and lots of pictures... like i said, its a little bit of everything rolled into one.
Just like me, really!

so yeah, that's me!
*waves*

It's Saturday. I have absolutely nothing to do other than walk down to the post-office, post two of my bookmooch books and then go see my hairdresser (which, i'm still stupidly excited about and we're ony TALKING about the style/colour... *rolls eyes at self*) Plus, going to mums = free food, which, y'know, never a bad thing.. why, yes - i will just happen to turn up at lunch time, why do you ask? ;)

For now though, I shall stop rambling and start posting ( The Pretty )

Don't forget to vote for tomorrow's Bonus Wibble - remember, one vote per person in reply to this entry and, as much as it pains me to say this, no votes for Christian Kane and Steve Carlson as they won last week's vote

Title: Girls Like Boys With Impala's
Author: Cassie Morgan badfalcon
Categories: Gen, pre-series, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Dean & Sam Winchester are the property of Eric Kripke et al. This story is written purely for entertainment purposes and no money is being made out of it.
Thanks to: You, for reading. bellasianna, as ever, for the beta, handholding, encouragement and hair-braiding
Notes: Written for calamitysxchild who picked song number 3452 and Supernatural in the itunes fanfiction meme thingy.
Summary: "Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money." The likes and dislikes of girls are very hard to understand. Dean's aim in life to pass as much knowledge about them as he can to Sam.

( Girls with their bodies like girls with Ferrari's... uhh I mean Impala's! )

Today has been SO much better than yesterday. Very productive - both work and fanfiction wise.

I only had two query reports this morning, which made me feel so much better and much less like yesterdays 'i fail' mindset oh the joys of bipolar disorder *rolls eyes at self*
Plus I felt ridiculously proud of myself for managing to balance a huge-ass 250k invoice... it took me over half hour and I had to make a couple of reversals but it balanced! *preen*

Have been writing too.
Wrote the first of my prompts from that pick a number for a song on my itunes and pick a fandom meme... fandom was Supernatural and song ended up being Good Charlotte's Girls & Boys... leading me, naturally, to write a g-rated Gen pre-series fic about the reasons dean can pick up chicks is because of the impala and him letting Sammy take a girl to a dance in it...
That one should be posted either later tonight or at some point tomorrow morning.

This weekend will be lovely though - I have the house to myself cos both Lysa & Jo are away with their fellas... again... leaving me to look after their cats... again

Was hoping to go over to Witney tonight to see the lads from Last Letter Read (yes, again) but no-one wants to come with me *pout* and don't really fancy going on my own so I think it'll just be a pizza, a bottle of smirnoff ice and curl up to finish watching the Angel S2 boxset.
Chel & I are thinking of toddling off to High Wycombe on Sunday (yup, to see Last Letter Read) so we shall see what happens with that one :)

I have an appt to go discuss stuff with my hairdresser tomorrow afternoon... i want all the damaged frizzy bleached hair cut off leaving only the healthy virgin hair... need to sort out a style with her.. something easily manageable... i miss being able to just run my fingers
through my hair then go to work. Colourwise I'm wanting a deep purple/red with some brighter red going through.. just need to talk to Lisa about it and sort out price etc... am all excited lol

It's Friday... thank Kripke!
It seems to have been a very very long week and I know that's because new job, new systems, new everything and my brain hurts but even so... it's taken a long time to get here and I'm very glad of it!

Also, lets hope today is better than yesterday... eh can't be much worse I suppose LOL

• 08:22 Am at lights and you have to kpep clear of the box. No not keep but kpep *snigger* #
• 08:49 I HATE THIS FUCKING CAR PARK :@ #

Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

You know what?
Scratch everything I just said this morning... I'm gonna have to start getting to work at like 08:00, just to find somewhere to park. I got there at 08:25 this morning, thinking I'd have a nice 08:30-16:30 day...nope, after circling our car park twice, not finding anywhere and following another car down the road to another of our buildings, parking in the multi-storey, crossing the duel carriage way and walking back up, I started work at 08:50 *rolls eyes*

Then proceeded to have an utterly shite day!
Got in and had tons of invoice query notification emails and spent pretty much all morning sitting with Steve fixing all my screw-ups.
Steve assured me they aren't screw-ups... some of them are just quirks of the system with regards to delivery receipts, some of them were his fault because he didn't tell me about release numbers and some of them, yes, are things I've screwed up but as Steve keeps telling me - i'm still learning, of course i'm going to make mistakes... it's new procedures, new systems and they'd worry if i DIDN'T make mistakes.
Easy for him to say though - he's not the one with a list of screwupsa query report a mile long.

It's stupid - yesterday I was feeling fantastic now... i feel like I just spent the whole day doing everything wrong and that i'm a total failure
*cries*
I've gotten myself so worked up I have a headache and I feel sick... and I'm trying my damndest not to just curl up and cry.

Still trying to sort myself out a routine for the morning - I've worked out that I need to leave home before 08:15, but still working on the getting up thing. I think I'm getting it organised to be up for 07:00.. shall see how that works out over the next couple of days. Just gotta get myself into a routine and I'll be fine... Routine's are always good... well, they are if you're me, anyway!

Now if only the weather would get itself sorted cos I never know what to wear to work at the moment... i wear a 3/4 sleeve top and I bake. So I wear a thinner top and it's chilly... maybe I ought to stick to short sleeve tops with a black cardi or something?
Mind, having said that, in a couple weeks when I'm paid, I'm gonna need to womble over to George and get myself some new work clothes... non-winter jumper type ones cos those are all I really have and I'm gonna roast!
New clothes \o/

For now though, I'm gonna post ( The Morning Wibble ) and read for a little since I'm way too early this morning! LOL

ok, so here we have it: a nice long worky update covering the exciting life of Cassie working in accounts payable at Severn Trent Water on Tuesday 15^th and Wednesday 16^th July 2008... aren't you just on the edge of your seat in anticipation?

Tuesday started off disastrously. I left home 10 minutes later, at 08:20, figuring I'd get to work just around 08:50. Nope... there was huge huge great traffic jam that I sat in not moving for far too long and ended up not getting here until 09:15... thank Kripke for flexi working time, no?
Course, then I couldn't park and circled the car park twice before catching someone leaving! *facepalm*

Get in, apologise and explain to Naresh who says not a problem cos they know what the A45's like at the moment with the roadworks and diversions.
Says that my account is now all set up but Steve's in a meeting, so would I do some scanning for an hour or so until this meeting's done.. he also tells me they're amazed at how many batches I scanned on Monday and that I was doing a sterling job at it *preen*

Lunchtime comes and goes - complete with another trip to subway... well I have money off vouchers... it would be rude not to! And discover that there's a very cute emo boy working there.
This is a potentially very dangerous combination: subway + cute emo boy + money off vouchers = cassie going to subway far too often on her lunchbreak and spending far too much money that she doesn't have *shakes head*

Steve appears in the post/filing room at like 14:30, apologises for being in meetings and we start off my training. Thankfully, the main system we use here is Lotus Notes - both for email and for the scan database, so I know what I'm doing there
Oracle, however, isn't a system I've used... so I've been suffering from 'ooh shiny' syndrome and made pages and pages of notes on every step of invoice processing. I made about 4 pages of notes and that's just on the basics!

Got in last night and just collapsed and died... put pjs on as soon as I got home and spent the evening curled up in bed. I fully intended to watch disk 2 of season 2 of Angel and to type up the beginning of the Chris/blondie fic and maybe to finish the Steve/Jen I'm writing but..
absolutely none of that happened.
I just... vegged and rested my brain

I got back in this morning - left home at quarter past, got here at 10 to - and apparently wasn't supposed to have remembered as much as I did - I pointed out to Mo and Steve that I'd made all my notes - not that I'd actually used them... I'd just remembered what to do.
And, when the invoices are relatively straight-forward, I've already gone onto autopilot, which is kinda worrying. And talking to Mo, it seems I'm already working at the expected speed which is 2 batches/20 invoices an hour... here was me thinking I was still working relatively slow for me.

Of course, I'm fully aware that there's still fudge-loads that I don't know... It feels like I'm spending all my time going 'Mo, how do i...' or 'Mo, could you have a look at this for me please?' or 'Mo, I think I broke it!'
I'm being a good llama and making notes down when he has to show me something but I'm at that really frustrated stage where I want to just get on with it and feel bad for constantly interrupting Mo to ask him how to do something.

Lunch today was fun. I wombled back down to Subway and uhh cute emo boy recognises me, changes his gloves without me having to ask and remembers how I had my sub.
I told Bella & Lex, who both decided its cos he fancies/has a crush on me.
Silly girls!

Right now, my plan really is to finish the re-write of that Steve/Jen and email it to Bella, followed by typing up what I've written of Christian/blondie... whilst watching Material Girls - gotta feed my love for Hilary Duff ♥

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag eight people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

1. What are your reasons for having a LJ? Initially it was so I could join, comment on and post fanfiction to maddens but then I actually started using it as a journal and its become very much my sanctuary for getting everything out and... getting advice, finding out i'm not alone.. making new friends and has a fantastic sense of security
2. What do you do before bedtime? I don't really have a specific routine... I just read for a bit, then turn the light off
3. What will your dream wedding be like? I don't have a dream wedding
4. What is the city of your dreams and why? Las Vegas. Everything's so big and shiny and hot and fun
5. Are you an introvert or extrovert? very much an introvert
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? being loved
7. Do you trust easily? stupidly easily. I'm a very open person and it leads to me getting hurt far too often... really gotta work on that. Bella says I shouldn't, but... meh
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do? Absolutely nothing. I was there for far too long... and was then the other woman. I'm a bad bad llama :(
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days? just my general situation over the last few weeks with having no money and no job
10. What is your best quality? physically, either my eyes or my smile. personality-wise... I love, as daft as it is, my dorkiness and my insane planning-ness
11. Is being tagged fun? hell yes
12. How do you see yourself? the short fat spotty one on crutches
13. Who are currently the most important people to you? Chel. and all my friends. and the kitties
14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is? n/a *pout*
15. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor? single and rich. The question doesn't specify not in a relationship, simply not married. So I can still have my Chelbean and have money. Yay \o/
16. How many children do you want to have, if any? yech none
17. What's better, to give or to receive? to receive.
18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick? I... have no idea. I'ven ever been in that situation to be even able to make a guess
19. What would you do if you (or your girlfriend) became pregnant unexpectedly? wonder how the fuck that happened. then look into adoption
20. What were your parents going to name you if you'd been born the opposite sex? Simon - and then my dad's oldest son's first child was a boy, and they called him Simon. So there you go.

Tagging elvenpirate, bellasianna, vickievrt, goddessmaat, ugly_ducklingme, spazzer_mctwich, dethas and elisaaabeth

I promise a real worky update will occur tonight... I did actually have training in work yesterday afternoon, got home and kinda just crashed cos I was utterly brain dead! Now though, I'm simply gonna post ( The Morning Wibble ) and jump in the shower

Have a good day *hugs*

• 08:53 Thank fuck for flexi time! Sitting in traffic going nowhere fast *sigh* and running out of lotte juice #

I am so distressed! I was supposed to get together with folks Saturday but I don't want to anymore. I'm so tired of seeing the same people.

What sucks is that I gave everybody my wishlist of computer hardware for my birfday, but nobody bought me anything :-(.

Oh yeah. I am so going to kick nikibee out of the house. They got totally drunk this afternoon and hurled all over thenyxie!

This entry automatically generated by the LJ Drama Generator!

Comment to this post with a subject for a top 5 (ships, songs, non-canon ships, etc...whatever) you would like to see me post about (with pictures), and I will post it soon.

I had the weirdest dream last night... dreamed that Billie Piper was in the new LLR video that Chel & I made, Dane had a new band who played the NEC opening for Boyzone, then he opened an art gallery, had a german shepherd puppy and there was discussion with satellite_kid about rivers, river mouths and place name meanings - was very strange indeed!
Dane's puppy was cute though!

What really sucks though is cos Chel had to go to the doctors yesterday, we now can't womble down south to see LLR this weekend like we were going to. Were going to go to Witney on Friday and High Wycombe on Sunday... not telling them about either cos we love their reactions when we just randomly turn up at their gigs!
Oh well, there's still Manchester and Bath next month...
*pouts*

Today, however, my hayfever is back to kicking my ass. Had a lovely few symptom free days but now I'm all bunged up again. Gotta love that benedryl! *takes some*

Right then, I ought to get dressed and trundle back to Sheldon for day 2 at Severn Trent - lets hope that a) no-one picked ( my notebook up ), b) my references were received ok and I'm supposed to be back and c) whether IT have got me an account yet and d) do I has email?

So, now, I'm gonna shut up and get on with posting ( The Morning Wibble )

• 08:34 Ok so uh... Slightly early lol #

Comment and - if you want - I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list 5 of your favorite songs that begin with that letter.

elisaaabeth gave me the letter "B".

The Life of Riley - Bang Bang
Goo Goo Dolls - Broadway
Good Charlotte - Break Apart Her Heart
Jason Manns - Breathe In, Breathe Out
Hilary Duff - Break My Heart

Well, as first days go - I've had better and I've had worse. I started off by getting there stupidly early cos I didn't get stuck in traffic like I thought I would... but, as I was saying to lexstar29: I'd rather be there 20 minutes early than 5 minutes late.

When I get met and taken up to finance, we discover that IT, naturally, haven't gotten their fingers out their asses to set up a new account *rolls eyes*

So, instead, I spend the day scanning. Sorting invoices out, batching them into 10s, scanning them and importing. Repeat for the next 6 hours or so. Tedious and mind-numbing but I was in a room all on my tod, with my ipod, a notebook and a pen (the return of Blondie and his Christian, in case you were wondering)... heavenly, if you ask me. And, to be honest, I'd be perfectly happy doing that all day every day.

It got worse though - I get a phone call from Laura @ Robert Half stressing because they still haven't had my references back (those would be the references they only sent out for on Thurs... and they're wondering why they haven't had them back? *raises an eyebrow*
I ring up Rachel @ Brook Street (Telford) and call in a favour of all the ones she owes me and, bless her, she expedited the professional reference for them and was going to provide a personal reference. I've not had a phonecall back from Laura so I'm assuming all went through OK with that *crosses fingers*

Hopefully tomorrow things will be working a little better - if not *shrugs* I really don't mind another day scanning so either way, it's all good really! :D

Monday morning seems to have come around far too quickly and my tummy is all flip-floppy and I'm feeling incredibly nervous. You really would have thought that by now I'd have the hang of first days, wouldn't you? I mean, temping for so long I've had enough of the bloody things. But no, still with the shitting myself

Course, soon as I walk in the building at like 08:50, I'll be absolutely fine but even knowing that doesn't make it any easier!
*sits and bites fingers*

Just waiting for the bathroom to be free so I can jump in and have a quick shower - shall post ( The Morning Wibble ) while I'm waiting.
