ramblings of a 20something

Bouncy thoughts

I still have one sasquash leg, and one smooth leg. Maybe I’ll keep it like this awhile. Make some sort of political statement. Hmm… I think I’ll only shave my right armpit for awhile, and let the left grow wild. Sounds like an idea to me!

I wonder if most men have body issues like us women do. I know some do, but do most? I guess it’s just a cultural thing. Men can get away with a lot more than us women can. If I did wander around with a hairy right leg and smooth left leg I’d certainly get some funny looks. But men can be as hairy as can be and it doesn’t matter. I’m not going to go on some feminist slant here and say that us women should throw away our razors. Cause that’s just gross. Women should be soft and smooth. Men are hard and rough. Which is how I like my sex. Just kidding! Or am I? Hmm… Anyway, the lines are getting a bit duller these days though. There’s the whole metrosexual phenomenon. I’m sure you’ve heard of that. Basically it’s straight men who enjoy pampering in salons and buy pricey products. Things like that. I’d say David is one of these types. The man has more face wash products than I do. He has eye wrinkle crème. He’s unstable.

This morning while I was getting dressed I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I didn’t look half bad I thought. I think I start to feel bad about my body when I put clothes on. Weird? Yes. This morning after I put my pants on I didn’t feel as good. They aren’t super tight, but they’re snug. And they show off my gut and her friends the love handles. That’s when I begin to think that I’m getting a bit dumpy. Also when I’m sitting down. Ugh, that is the worst. Im sure it doesn’t help that I have horrible posture either. But when I’m sitting down I get so lumpy in my stomach area. Theres the lump below the waist of whatever bottoms I’m wearing, then my gut above. And it’s so gross to me! There’s also the fact that my boobs are a bit lopsided. I know this is natural and the case for pretty much every woman on earth. But it annoys the crap out of me! Mine aren’t big to begin with. And when one is bigger than the other, it can become noticeable. And for me it seems quite noticeable. I suppose I could go under the knife and fix em. But that’s just stupid. I’ll deal with it. Oh, for those of you keeping score it’s Lefty that’s a bit bigger. Which is weird, cause apparently the one that is bigger is on the side that you write with. And I’m right handed. But I do tend to open jars and soda bottles with my left hand, so maybe that’s what it is.

To continue with the Too Much Information type posting today, I’m being reminded how wonderful it is to be a woman. Thanks Dad for having girl producing spermies!

I’ll be making my annual trip down south tomorrow. It’s unclear yet weather or not I’ll be going to visit college though. I almost don’t want to. I talked to Rachel during lunch and she’s on the fence about it as well. Apparently she got a voice mail from Mikki and she said something like “If you guys make it to town give me a call and maybe we can visit for a bit.” Gee, thanks Mik. Whatever. We never heard from Denise or Elizabeth either. I’d almost rather just hang out at Rachels. Maybe go to Washington on Saturday or something, who knows. Either way, I’ve got a 6 hour trip to make tomorrow. Yippie skippy.

I got an email from the other secretary down here a little bit ago. She was just letting me know that she’s taking the week of Christmas off to spend with her family, and let me know that I should take off the following week. It still remains to be seen if I’ll even be working down here then. I did put in for that job upstairs, so we’ll see how that goes. Probably have interviews for it next week. I’m not stressing about it. If I get it cool. If not, it’s no big deal. I never told my boss that I put in for it though. I probably should. Oh well, he’ll hear it through the grape vine. I can be so weird about things sometimes… Anyway, I’m planning on taking that week off for sure. We get New Years Eve as well as New Years day off. I’m really really wanting to go on a trip that week. Where to? Do I even have to say? Didn’t think so. Will I go there? I don’t know. Doubt it. I’ll probably take that week off and do nothing at all. Maybe I should go away by myself somewhere. Who knows. Theres over 2 months before that holiday.

Being single this time of year really sucks. There’s a John Mayer this called “St. Patricks Day” which basically says this. First there’s Halloween. It’s cool to go to a costume party with your boyfriend dressed up as a famous couple or something. Then again, I did meet Peyton at a Halloween party. So I guess there is that… Anyway, next comes Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years. Shitty time to be single. During Thanksgiving and Christmas there are usually a lot of family get togethers where you get to hear the question “So are you seeing anyone?” Nope, but thanks for asking Aunt Nosey! New Years is possibly the worst time of year to be single. I hear you asking “What about Valentines day?” Poo on that Hallmark holiday. New Years is where its at. Midnight strikes, you look around the room and you’ve got nobody to kiss. Fun fun. Sure, it sucks to be alone on Valentines day as well. But I maintain that New Years is worse.

For a little bit there I was all mopey about being single. I guess it was that Matt thing. I got my hopes up. I’m back to reality now. Things don’t happen that easy. So I focus on my life. I’m saving money, I’m thinking about other work situations. Getting a place of my own. Going back to school. I just have to keep that focus up. And not get too down when I go to bed alone at night. For me that’s the worst part of my day. Its when I feel most alone. I miss having somebody to sleep next to. But it’s not fun to sit here and think about that so I don’t. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
 
So long!

Im getting ready to head down south. It's really quite foggy out this morning which makes me a bit nervous. I-88 and I-81 can be a bit tricky on a clear day. Stupid mountains! As long as it doesnt rain I'll be alright. Last year I hit a huge downpoor for a good 20 minutes. Of course this was in the middle of a construction zone. One lane. And I was in between two tractor trailers. Now that was some white nuckle driving.

Oh well, better get ready. I was up till nearly 2am making some mixed CD's. I should have used that time to finish packing. I always wait till the last minute!

I'm going to make like tree and.... Go.... I love that commercial!

Have a good weekend everyone :)
 
So I'm back...

I’m so tired.

There really isn’t much to say about this past weekend. It went by way too quickly. Most of it was spent in a car it seems. The 6 ½ hours to Rachel’s house, then the 4 hours or so down to school. We got there around 8:30, called up our friend Michelle and went out for dinner. After that we picked up some beer and went to our hotel room where we promptly fell asleep. Saturday after we got up we went to eat at a little local pizza joint then went to the football game. The team actually won. It was amazing. Good game really. I ran into a few old friends. One in particular who got married a few months after graduation now has a 9 week old baby. It’s depressing. I try not to measure myself by what others are up to, but it’s hard not to. Its hard to see friends doing so well, when I’m still trying to figure things out. Oh well, such is life.

I found out that my ex-boyfriend isn’t allowed on campus anymore. Apparently there were some computer thefts last summer and he knew the guy who was doing it, but didn’t say anything. Oh I know how to pick em. Seems he ran into Michelle at the community college and asked how I was. Interesting. And his brother was drafted by the Florida Marlins to play baseball. 3rd round pick. Good for him, I hope he makes it.

Rachel took me to see the neighborhood where she’s looking into buying a house. They’re cute little places. Mostly duplexes. I’m still torn about moving down there. I need to figure out what would be best for me and do that. And not worry about disappointing somebody else. It’s just a matter of figuring out what I want and going with that!

In other news I have the interview tomorrow for that other job here. I have such mixed feelings about it. On one hand it’ll be a good thing if I get it. Full time = sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay. But there is still a part of me that wants to quit this place all together and look somewhere else for employment. That part of me is getting louder.

But then there is that little scared girl in me that seems to always win out in the end. I don’t know why I’m like this sometimes. I don’t know why I’m terrified of change. Why I sabotage things so I don’t have the option of doing what I need to do. Earlier this year I had nearly $1,000 saved up in anticipation of moving. Within weeks of having that saved it was all gone. Gone where, I don’t even know. I honestly cannot say. Sabotage. I need to make changes within myself. And man, that’s never easy.

One major problem of mine is that I don’t know what it is that I want. For a career anyway. So I figure why not just stay in this crap job until I figure it out. But when will I ever?

I’m scared to quit. What if I quit and I don’t find a job right away? I should talk to my boss about this, but I’m scared to do that as well. I have that interview tomorrow, I know I don’t have to take the job if it is offered to me. I can decline. I can quit this job here. I can find something else. If I can just find the courage to do it all that is…
 
Just a little something..

I have that interview in an hour. I'm nervous. And I'm an idiot and forgot to print out my shitty resume last night. So I'm going to fix one up right quick. I'm thinking I might actually have a copy of it on my computer here.

I'm still torn about this job.

Somebody remind me to stop getting vanilla lattes. My stomach has a love/hate relationship with them.

Man, I'm a mess. Look up there. "my shitty resume". I wonder when I'll be able to give myself credit.



Wish me luck, eh? Jeebus, what am I, Canadian? :rolleyes:



Fuck, I don't have a copy of my resume here. Fuck a duck.


Phew, craptastic resume produced in about 10 minutes time. Thank God I had a resume on monster.com!!!

Observation

I’ve got a few subjects rattling around in my head that I want to talk about. And I might piss some people off. Or not, who knows. If I do, please message me about it.

Sometimes I think that we (the IRC folks) know each other too much. If that even makes sense. I know at times I find myself censoring what I write to spare somebody’s feelings. That’s a good intention, but I don’t know if it’s fair. Not fair to me anyway. I need to be more selfish. I can’t worry that something I say may hurt somebody. I’ll never write anything here with the intention to hurt anyone. But there may be a time when I say something and it’ll unintentionally hurt somebody. And I will feel sorry for that. Maybe I’m too sensitive. Maybe I shouldn’t care about others feelings so much. But I do, it’s part of who I am.

We’re too incestuous sometimes. I talk to a few people often. Some on a daily basis. These people help me out, and they might know me a bit better than the general reader. And I’m glad to know them. But at the same time I worry. I worry if I write something what they might think about it.

There are quite a few people here who are more closely connected. Boyfriends, girlfriends. Co-workers. Lovers, former lovers. And when things so sour, people either write about it and hurt the person who they were once close with, or they don’t write at all about it and they’ve lost that outlet that they once had. Maybe I’m thinking about it too much. Sometimes I feel myself having my feelings hurt by what others write here. I shouldn’t, but I do. And maybe I’ve hurt somebody’s feelings as well. I think sometimes I forget that you all are just like me. You’re just trying to live your life. But I find myself getting annoyed with you guys! I feel like being specific but then again I don’t. But generally it annoys me how some of us talk about eachother in our posts. Sometimes I feel it’s best to private message or email the person. But then I realize that this is your journal. And you can use it any way you see fit. You aren’t here to entertain me. And I wonder if somebody has felt the same way towards me. Pissed off at what I talk about. Who knows.

I’m not quite sure where I’m going with all of this though. All I know is that I’m going to do my best to stay true to myself. If I have something to say to or about a particular person here, I’ll talk to them directly about it. And if I have something I need to talk about, I’ll say it. Even if I think it might hurt somebody. Maybe I’m thinking too much of myself. I probably don’t have that effect on people, who knows.



That’s enough for now. I’ll write some other normal “me” type stuff later.
 
Rainbow

For some reason I decided to take a little drive during lunch up to a local park. It's really beautiful out today despite it being quite windy. Once I got to the park I drove into a little observation area and got out to take a look around. I looked towards the right and saw the Albany skyline. Then I looked to my left and was suprised to see a huge beautiful rainbow. It was very full and bright, connected to the ground on both sides. Most rainbows I've seen are partly covered with clouds which makes them appear to be shooting out of the clouds themselves. This one was untouched by anything. It really was pretty.

I'm kicking myself for not having a camera in my car. I think I may buy an instant camera for occassions such as this. Keep a pen and paper with it so I can record the day and location of the pictures.

Maybe this was a sign. I was feeling (and still am truthfully) a bit down about that job. Maybe there is something better for me out there, and this rejection will just lead to that.

Positive thinking.
 
I Will Survive

I don’t know that I have a lot to say but I’m really quite bored. So I’ll write a bit ;)

I’m not too bothered about that job. I am a bit, but it’s okay. I just got an email saying that another position is open. It’s the position of the woman who got the job. Another secretary job. I think I’m going to pass. It’s time for something else. I’ve been wanting to leave for so long and now I think it’s time. Coni (the other secretary down here) sent me an email saying I should go for that one. She also said that she was shocked at their hiring choice. She thought that the girl who was temping upstairs would get it, and if not her then me. Oh well. It came down to numbers. The woman who got it has been here since 1988. It makes me wonder what she’s been doing here all this time. That same job? Damn. Oh well, it’s cool. Now I’ve just gotta start looking elsewhere. I almost want to send my resume all over the place. Has anyone out there used a headhunter in a different location? Say I want to move out of state. Something like that. If anyone has any experience with that please let me know.

So where do I want to go, and what do I want to do? I have no idea. I figure I’ll get a job here, get an apartment. Get out of my house.

Last night I took a shower before I went to sleep and I was all ready to use this bottle of conditioner that I bought. Now I’ve only used this bottle 2, maybe 3 times. I picked it up expecting it to be a full bottle. It is no empty. Completely empty. And I’m pissed off. Shampoo and conditioner is not cheap. Well, not the ones I buy anyway. Cause I’m dumb and think that the expensive shit is better than the cheap stuff. This was probably a $5 bottle. And I probably used about $0.75 worth of it. Now, right now I’ve got a big pump bottle of shampoo in the shower. That’s what I’ve been using on a regular basis. And I also have a bottle of Panteen and Dove shampoo that I bought. There is an empty bottle of Loreal shampoo that my sister bought. And the bottle of Head and Shoulders that my parents use. That empty bottle of Loreal has been in there for ages now. Holly has not bought new shampoo. So who’s is she using? Mine. So this morning I asked her nicely if she could not use my shampoo that I buy because it is expensive. She says “I didn’t use it, Jen was home this weekend you know.” Yes, and I’m sure she used some of my shampoo. Fine, that was 2 days worth. I’m supposed to believe that she used an entire bottle of conditioner in her hair over 2 days? I don’t think so. Holly then says to me “I use the Dove shampoo, so get off the idea that I use your shampoo.” Rather than point out that I bought that shampoo and thus starting a bitch fest I just said “Fine, please don’t use my stuff. It is expensive and I’m not buying it for others to use.” I’m sick of it. She uses toothpaste that I buy. Tampons that I buy. I bought a 40 count box after I ran out of the old box. I used maybe 5 out of this new box. It is now empty. And I can’t blame my mom or dad for that one. Am I being petty here? Maybe. But I don’t think so. This is one reason why I can’t wait to get out. Cause I’ll know exactly who’s using my shit, and who to blame when I run out. I suppose I could get my old shower caddy from college and keep my stuff under lock down in my room. I just might start that actually. Sheesh.

Last night after dinner I retreated to the solace that is my room for some quality TV watching. I had just settled onto my bed and put in my Everwood tape when I heard the familiar ding of somebody logging onto MSN. I had meant to turn it off so I could watch some TV in peace. I didn’t bother leaning over to see who it was, I figured I would find out soon enough. And up, the familiar ding of somebody messaging me. That’d be Ryan. Seeing as he’s the only person on my MSN list who actually messages me. Anyway, I was somewhat annoyed with myself. I really wanted to watch some TV shows that I have taped last night. But instead I ended up chatting. I figured since I was there I should log onto AIM. So I did, had a nice chat with a certain IRC’er :wave: Then I stupidly logged onto Yahoo. I had checked My Yahoo page and saw that I had 2 friends online. I was curious to see who so I logged on. One was Rachel’s ex-boyfriend David. The second I logged on he messaged me. Oh boy. Don’t get me wrong, we were friends during college. I like the guy. But now whenever I talk to him I’m put in the middle. He always asks about Rachel. What she’s doing, who she’s seeing, does she ask about him? God, it’s a shitty position. Rachel and I didn’t really talk much about David. She did say that she wishes she knew for sure what happened between him and this evil girl. He kissed her, but this evil wench claimed that they had sex. I believe him when he says they didn’t. Anyway, I don’t want to be asked about her from him! It just isn’t right. And I basically told him that. Said that if he wants to know about her to call her up. He said he still loves her. Well I’m sorry, but please just move on. Its over. I do feel bad for him though. It was a shitty situation all together. Well, overall I was actually glad to have chatted last night. Had good conversations with the 2 other folks I was chatting with.

So tonight after dinner I will again go to my room. But I will be sure to turn off MSN before I get in bed! And I’ll watch some of my taped TV shows, then watch Friends. Then I’ll put on the baseball game. And maybe turn on my chat stuff. Cause I can chat and watch baseball at the same time ;) That’s talen folks!

Lets see what else… I’m trying hard to save up some money and it’s going fairly well. But I really really need some new clothes for work. It used to be that I’d buy “normal” clothes fairly often. Stuff that I wouldn’t wear to work. But now I feel myself wanting new pants, shoes (cause mine are fuuunky), shirts and such. I want to get a pair of shoes that I can wear those little mini socks with. Cause I swear you could pass out of you smelled my shoes. Gross, I know. So I think I’ll do some shopping this weekend. Head to the outlet mall and see if I can find some pants for work.

Man, is it 5pm yet??

Blond and Blue

So I'm sittin here after lunch minding my own business when Dave calls me into his office. He's sort of the CFO for the company. Anyway, I figure something is going down because earlier he was in my bosses office behind closed doors. And well, I'm paranoid. So I sit down and he says "Don't worry it's nothing bad." Long story short, he realizes that there isn't enough here for me to do to keep me busy (duh) so I'm going to be doing some stuff for the accounting department. Making collection calls. And starting Monday I'm full time ;) Yeah baby! Of course there's no pay raise, but at least I'll be getting paid vacation and sick time. Oh and holiday pay! Glorious holiday pay!

Now, this doesn't mean that I'm not going to look for something else. But it's something. Monday I'll meet with the HR lady and fill out paperwork. Well, I already have benefits but I guess I should still see her and find out about vacation and sick time, see how much I'm allowed. Oh and you better believe that I won't be doing switchboard during lunch 2-3 days a week anymore. Hell no. I'll be sure of that. That stipulation was only in place because I was part time. But I'm not anymore! So you can stick that switchboard sideways baby! Of course now I'll be in the rotation to do it during breaks once every 2 weeks or so. And I sure wont complain about that.

So yay, something good happens for me here :)


My boss just came to my desk and said "Now, I've gotta warn ya. If this doesn't keep you busy we'll have to start training you on machine tools" He was kidding though.... I think! :nervous:

I'm sleepy...

I just finished watching a show on the WB called "What I Like About You". I love this show. I laugh out loud every time I watch it. It stars Jenny Garth of 90210 fame and Amanda Bynes. She's been in a few movies and a bunch of shows on Nickelodeon. Anyway, I think this show is great. I started watching it last year, and now it's become one of my favorites. It's on at 9pm on Thursdays. Check it out, wont you?

4-0 Boston in the 5th. But I am going to have to go to sleep. I don't think I can stay up. I was going to read a book and watch the game but the frequency of my yawns say otherwise. So sleep I shall.

Mmmm sleep...
 
Despair

TGIF

I am so glad that I went to sleep last night instead of watching the baseball game. I’d much rather go to bed with a little feeling of hope rather than going to bed pissed off that the Yankees won again. Ack. Well, the LCS’s(?) were fantastic. I imagine that the World Series will not live up to it. But maybe I’ll be wrong. At the moment I don’t care at all. Which is good since I’m currently about 2 weeks behind on my regular TV watching schedule. I have 3 full VCR tapes that I’ve gotta watch. So that’s what I’ll be doing this weekend ;)

On another note, some people here are really starting to irritate me. Mostly in the Off-Topic Forum, but some in the Off-Topic Journal section as well. It’s the big words. Maybe I’m just stupid but Jesus… Are they just trying to look smart by using their $100 word when a $1 will work just as effectively? Sometimes I feel like I need a damn dictionary to understand some of this shit. I will admit that there are times when I blow past a post because of these PhD words. It just doesn’t impress me, frankly. I’m sure these people are all extremely smart and very well educated. But so fucking what. Sometimes those big words just make you look like an ass.

Oh, and another thing. This whole discussion of drugs to treat depression. I’m a bit on the fence about this one. While I do believe that it is a chemical problem for some people out there, I also think that depression and some other mental illnesses are over diagnosed. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t have first hand experience with this. Do I get depressed? Sure, at times. But I don’t think pills would be right for me. I don’t think that I would need them. Would popping some pills every day make me happier? Perhaps. But would that be good? I don’t think so. Not for me. I have a 14 year old cousin who’s been going through some shit recently, and apparently she’s on some anti-depressant drugs. Honestly I don’t think she needs them. This kid has a lot of issues. For one her mother is a moron. There is a lot of back story here which doesn’t really matter but to make it short I lost all faith and respect in my cousin Angel years ago. And Miranda has suffered because of the mistakes that her mother has made. Miranda’s father is also a huge loser. This poor girl wants nothing more than a father who loves her. And sadly she will never ever have this. Earlier this year she was at her fathers for a visit and he proved his asshole ways. He was skunk drunk when she got there. Offered her beer and drugs. Thankfully she declined. Apparently she HAS to have visitation with him. I think this is total and utter bullshit, but I’m not the court system. I guess now she has supervised visits. But still, it’s bullshit. Anyway, Miranda does not want to go to school and she refuses to take the bus. So her mom has to drive her. Which makes Angel late for work. Luckly she works for the state, but still, there is only so much an employer can take before they fire a person. Anyway, Angel and her boyfriend bought a house together and I hope that having Patrick around Miranda will help her out. But this family is going to have it rough. My Aunt (Angel’s mother) butts her head in far too often. And that doesn’t help. Okay, I completely lost my focus here. Anyway, Miranda started cutting herself earlier this year. Just enough to draw blood. This is a huge cry out for help, I think we can all say that. She went to a rehab type place for a week or so this year. She was seeing a therapist for awhile but I don’t think she’s currently going. Miranda was put on medication but personally I think she should see the therapist. And she needs a father figure. She needs discipline. I guess the other night she went to her room after fighting with her little brother and slammed her door. Patrick went upstairs with a screwdriver and said to her “Having a door to shut is a privilege. You do not need one. If you slam this door again I will take it down and you will have no privacy.” I say good for him. Oh yeah, Miranda also has an 18 year old boyfriend. She is 14 once again. That should not be allowed in my opinion.

Okay, enough of that. Long story short, I think some people need medication and I think others don’t. This is only my opinion. I’ll never look down on anyone who is on medication for depression or anything else. I’ll never say “Oh they don’t really need that.” Whatever helps you, by all means do it. I just hope I’m not coming across a jerk here or whatever.

The new (newish) Finger Eleven song called “One Thing” is so damn good.

Oh, and the Blue Rodeo song called “Bad Timing” is also so damn good. I’m listening to my so damn good mixed CD ;)

Hrmm… I just read Will Zone’s journal and at the end he had a picture from Despair, Inc.. The saying goes like this: MISTAKES – IT COULD BE THAT THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE IS TO SERVE WARNING TO OTHERS. Now, who did this remind me of? Ryan, of course. He’s quite the fan of despair.com. Every week or so he changes his MSN name to a new despair quote. Well, it’s not always from there but from the most part it is. Here’s a favorite of mine:

Cute, right?

4 in a row was not accomplished yesterday. I finished watching the Everwood episode from 3 weeks ago, then watched last weeks episode. I really like this show, unfortunately I didn’t watch it much last year. Stupid me watched Boston Public instead. I have since ditched that and it’s shitty Friday night time slot.

I did chat with Ryan for a bit again last night. Told him about the job stuff. He suggested a method of getting money from people who haven’t paid the company. I knew just what he was going to say, so I typed it out while he did. “Gimmie my money, bitch.” Good times… Anyway, I guess he’s lookin for a new place to live and was turned down at this one condo place cause his credit is for shit. Even having his mom co-sign wouldn’t help. Crappy. I told him to look for a place with enough room for me as well. He laughed. I was kidding, but not really. I’d say 45% of me was kidding. 35% of me was dead serious. The other 20% was thinking “What the hell is the matter with me?” I know I’m clearly insane. If he were to say “Hey why don’t you come out here and move in with me” I’d refuse. I think. Yeah, I would. That’d be nuts. The other day I asked him if his friends thought it was weird that I went out to visit him. He said “I dunno. Some thought that way I’m sure. Dexter did, Tim didn’t.” But then again, Dexter did say I was cool. You know, I really want to visit again for New Years. I doubt that’ll happen though. But I still really want to. Ack.

I don’t know what it is. Its an infatuation, that I know. I wouldn’t claim to be in love with him or anything. I don’t think I’m that crazy. I’d like to think that I’m a bit more rational than that. I know I hardly come across as that though! I get so fixated and easily attached to things. And ideas. It’s not good, not at all. Sometimes I think it will take another man for me to get past Ryan. That’s pretty sad. But that’s what it’ll be. Oh, I want to point out that I am not completely obsessed with him. He is not on my mind 24/7. I don’t really think about him for the most part at all. I’ll just hear a song or see something that reminds me of something about him and that’ll do it. Then a few minutes later something else is occupying my mind. Ooh water. Ryan once drank water. Swoon! Just kidding… Ryan is a great guy, but eventually I’ll meet a great guy who at least lives in the same time zone as me. Preferably within driving distance. Less than a half hour drive would be best. But until then I shall obsess. And I will cultivate and nurture my other crushes. Can’ t leave them out in the cold!
 
Motivation, whats my motivation?

It’s 9am and I’m having a rough time getting motivated to do anything at all. Damn, and my left shoulder hurts. Hrrm… Anyway, I have work to do. I just don’t want to do it. I don’t even want to get up in the morning to come here. So what do I do to fix this? I know I just have to buck up and do my job. I guess it’s just kind of hard when you don’t give a rats ass about it at all. And I’ll admit that I’m a bit nervous about these collection calls. I know it’ll be no big deal. I know that once I get started with them I’ll be more comfortable. But I just can’t seem to get it going!


Oh, I forgot to mention that I get 2 sick days and 2 vacation days. Gee thanks. :rolleyes:

I am such a champion complainer...

I still haven't made any calls yet. I'm such a fuck up. I've been given work that will keep me busy yet I haven't done any of it!

Argh!!!

I want out of here.



Okay. I'm going to look at the database and set up a list of companies to call. For most I'll have to hunt down phone numbers and such so that'll take time.

One step at a time...

I don’t know why I’m feeling so uneasy about making these phone calls. There should be nothing to it.

I’m worried that I’ll be asked questions that I don’t know the answer to. I think that they will ask me these questions and I’ll have to follow up with 5 different people here and cause them more work. If it were cut and dry I would have no problem with this. If I had all the answerers. Oh, and I also don’t want to get bitched at. I’ve been looking through the data base this morning and I’m lost. There are comments on some of the invoices that I really don’t understand. Most are currently under review, so do I call them? Supposedly once these invoices are all squared away they are supposed to be taken off the data base. But I know this company. And I know that things never go smoothly.

I guess I’m just worried that I can’t do it myself. I don’t want to create extra work for other people to do in order for me to accomplish this. I don’t want to be a pain in the ass. I don’t want to have to depend on somebody else to do my job. And I know this is all so damn irrational.

I over think things to death and it just sends me into this huge spiral. I’ve been asked a few times today by different people if I’ve collected any money yet. I’ve got a knot in my stomach.

It is so irrational that I’m worried. I know this.

I want to go home and crawl into bed and sleep.

Why do I do these things to myself? I am the reason for all the stupid torment that’s going on in my life and yet I do nothing about it.

I came across this question the other day: Are you Happy? I didn’t have an answer. I don’t know if I am or not. I try not to spend too much time thinking about that. Am I sad? No, not usually. But am I happy? Not really.

That’s neither here nor there though.

It’s almost 12:15 so at least I have lunch to look forward to.

I’m such a fuck up sometimes.
