Mid Morning Slacking

Holy crap the guy who lives next door to our office has the most beautiful afro I have ever seen. It's all surfer-blonde and gigantic and I think he pins back the front of it. This morning he came outside to say hi to me when he'd just woken up and it was this gigantic mess of curls and I didn't think it was possible to be in love with someone's HAIR, but well...I'm a believer.
He's a strange guy - when he talks to you, even if he's being nice, there's always an air of condescension to every sentence, even if he's just telling you to have a nice day. You can almost hear the silent "you asshole" at the end of that greeting.

I am having a super money freak-out this morning because I got so many bills and things to pay for and it's stressing me the fuck out. I do not earn enough money to cover all the things that need to be covered. I'm grabbing at straws here.
In case anyone is interested, ebay has zero insertion fees for auctions starting at 99 cents until May 30. I like to wait until they have specials like this, then sell off all my old coats, shoes, bags that don't fit or I don't use. I prefer it to giving them to lifeline, because you can usually make a few bucks off these things instead of nothing.
If you've never sold on ebay before, it's incredibly easy, don't be afraid. And if you want to sell stuff but you're still afraid, I'm willing to do it for you for commission. Yes I am that in need of money.

Tomorrow morning I have a biopsy scheduled for the lump in my boob (read this if you don't know what I'm talking about). Luckily it is bulk-billed, but it's probably going to be useless anyway, because regardless of what the outcome is I'm going to request it be surgically removed cause it is pissing me off. Hopefully that can be bulk-billed too but somehow I doubt that.

Yesterday I went on a podcast downloading spree and this morning on the train I listened to Bitch Magazine's podcast which was delightful. It consisted of people reading out letters, articles and reviews from the magazine, so it covered a few different topics and the presenters had soothing voices. They only have three podcasts so far and I'll definitely be looking forward to their new ones. If you're interested in a feminist look at pop culture, check it out. They are also on twitter.

I have a bit of a meatier post in mind to write tonight, but for now I have to get back to work. Please check back later because I have a few words to say about a topic that's been niggling at me for a while.
Be kind to yourselves...and each other ;)

I got really sick of eBay, I could never get what my stuff was worth.

Hope everything goes well with the biopsy hon and that you can get through it with low financial trauma too.

Yeah - I think the only two tips I'd have for selling something on ebay is if you want a specific amount for something START with that, or as close as possible to it, and also you really need to be careful with how much your postage will cost in the end, cause that's where I always get screwed over.
Thanks for the kind words :)
