Here is what is on the agenda for the next few days if anyone cares:
Today I will be cleaning my apartment and cleaning the cobwebs out of my bedroom. I’ve decided its time to start sleeping in my bed again. I’m probably going to cook my chicken, green bean, and stuffing casserole. It’s better than it sounds …. in fact its darn tasty!
Tomorrow I’ll be working and plan to take half the day off and even if my job doesn’t think I am, I still am because I already made plans and I’m not usually a plan breaker unless I get sick. I tend to get sick more often than I’d like, but thats life.
Thursday I’m going to a local park for a “fun day” and since I’m taking my camera I promise there will be pictures.
On Friday I plan to work another half day … but I haven’t decided what I’m doing for the weekend.
In other non list-type news:
I was thinking about life today. I’m starting to like people at my job. I hated this one guy with a passion until today. But today I had the important task of obtaining ssn’s of some quite affluent Pittsburgh folks before the hour of 3:00. That was when the world was going to explode. I accomplished the task by noon and was thanked at least 5 times by him. He’s no longer on my shit list for the moment. Last week this lady who is evil and bitchy asked me for a favor and I did not treat her like shit as she does to everyone when something is asked of her … although I should have. But I’m so busy at work, I just don’t have time to remember to be mean to people just because they suck. Anyways, she is now acting like my new best friend. And, I have an assistant who is the ripe age of 21. He’s smarter than me and I don’t even have to show him how to do anything. He’s perfect. I’m starting to feel some relief on the job front. And one thing about always being busy, is that for 8 hours of my day I don’t have time to be upset about anything or even think about my life outside of work …. which is good because my real life sucks.
There are a lot of stay at home mom’s with blogs. On an unrelated note, I was reading this girl’s MySpace thing one day and she was talking about how she would be a great housewife and sometimes life got so stressful that she just wanted to be married so someone would take care of her, blah blah. I thought I related to her for about a second, then I realized that something like that could never cross my mind. What would I do if I didn’t have a job? I’m done with school …. which is kind of like a job. The only time I remember not having either a job or being in school since I left home was the summer I moved to Pittsburgh. But I was quite preoccupied with maxing out my credit card and having a new boyfriend, so I guess times were pretty exciting. I love having long weekends and weekends in general, but I think I’d go stir crazy after a while. When I’m really stressed out, I think about food … or cigarettes. Sometimes if I have plans after work, it really really helps me get through the day. Or even if I have plans for the weekend. As long as I have something to look forward to in the forseeable future. Especially if it includes hanging out with someone cool …. or cuddling. I don’t really think that kids or marriage would make me less stressed. Then I’d just be thinking about how I would get to that place … and to get to that place would mean I would have to have a wedding, and weddings scare me. If I had to choose between being single forever or having a wedding and wearing a white dress so everyone could make a fuss over me … well I think I have to pick staying single. Maybe I should just be one of those single career girls.
A life where men and families are no longer necessary. A life focusing on my career. Maybe I’ll take some classes or improve my skills in web design or accounting software so I can be the “do everything” awesome girl. I’ve got the college degree under my belt and I have tons of planning experience, so I think I’m going to quit my job and work somewhere that will allow me to utilize my skills and work my way up the ladder until I become the CEO of a company. I could definitely see the panic attacks arising, haha. Actually – this brings me back to the time I lost my debit card and had a hissy fit. Todd and I were at Wendy’s one day and I couldn’t find my debit card. I realized I must have left it somewhere and proceeded to freak out. Most likely because every cent I owned was on that card and I knew that I would have no means of getting cash until it was replaced. I didn’t handle that well. But this is like what happens every day at my job … some crisis is always arising and I’m the one handling it like a calm and sensible person! People at work often send this kind of crap to me because they know I won’t spazz and I’ll figure out the most practical way to go about it. Maybe I’ve adapted or maybe I just completely separate work from real life. If I lost my debit card now, I wouldn’t even care though. There is no money on it and its ugly anyways. But I also have a savings account, a credit line, and know that my bank would give my money back if it was stolen. I’m not desparate and penniless like I used to be.
I’m very tired for some reason. Maybe because I run around all day like a flapping monkey. When I get busy I can’t stand still …. but I also can’t concentrate on one thing. I’ll be writing an email to somebody and then remember I need to take something down to accounting and run down there. Then I race back to my office because my phone is ringing and there are packages for me at the front desk or someone is there to pick something up. And by the time I’m done running around I’ve forgotten what I’m doing ….. I’m taking a new tablet to work tomorrow. If not I’m going to have to start sticking my postits to the floor cause I’ve run out of room on my desk. I’m tired. I said that already. I’m done ranting for today. Bye.
One day I wrote down all the important cards in my wallet (credit cards, debit card, license, etc.) and what to do if they were stolen, lost, etc. and i keep that info in a safe place. so now if anyone ever steals my wallet, i have all the numbers to call all ready and stuff. i actually got this idea from kim. but if someone steals my list, i guess maybe they will have a lot of information!
Good idea! I always thought it was smart to have my “Emergency Contact” list in my wallet. I also added that ICE (In case of emergency) thing to my cell phone, not sure if the EMT people really look at your cell phone ….. but I think I’m ready if I die. I am going to make a list of my cards and keep it on my computer.
