I almost never go on holiday trips. Not in the summer, at least. My parents and I rarely went on a holiday, and the few times we did, it almost always had something to do with by dad's job. So I'm spending the summer months, which have been relatively rainy, in my own hometown. I've been thinking about travelling to somewhere spooky in October. The last festival I went to about two weeks ago was fun, too, though I did feel bad that my mom had made a last minute decision not to go, she would have loved it.
I'm taking my driver's exam for the third time next week. My nerves are through the roof and probably reaching somewhere even capsules won't go. I try to take as many lessons as I can, and my instructor says I'm doing fine, but I'm still scared that everything could go wrong.
In the mean time, I had some new tattoos done. As a kid, I had a picture of two cherub-like angels hanging on the wall of my bedroom, so I decided to have those angels tattooed, one on each ankle. It hurt like a bitch and was almost constant torture for roughly 4 hours, but the tattoo artist did the details and the shading really well. The downside is that all my socks are stained with Bepanthen cream. The helix piercing hole is closed now, and a friend of mine told me to put a mixture of lots of salt with a little water, like a paste, on the infected rook piercing. I'm not really sure how it's supposed to help, since the mixture dries up quickly, none of it enters the wound (where the infection should be), and most other sources insist on not overcleaning.
It's been almost a month since I told my boss I felt bored at work. No pick&place work for me yet, the machine we have right now is due for a replacement. Instead, I have been "promoted" to warehouse manager, which means that, next to my usual tasks, I now have to process incoming shipments. Other than that, not much has changed. That one coworker I mentioned in an earlier log has about two weeks left from now. I hope some of his work will be transferred to me.
