For some reason, I have been neglecting my blog lately. I HAVE BEEN SOOO BUSY! Wow, I haven't said that and actually had it be legitimate in awhile. I got a job working at Hoag Drywall; I basically sit here all day and answer the phone. I'm working on my version of Steve's "HOWELL" (how he answers HIS phone), but I can't get anywhere close to that greeting. This job has its perks, but it also has its drawbacks. First drawback, DIAL UP. COME ON...its 2009. Dialup went out of style circa 1995. When I am sitting at my desk (blogging, sleeping, painting my nails, reading Gramma's pornographic romance novels...) I have to unplug the fax machine and the second phone line, and switch the jacks. Therefore, I can't get faxes when I'm online. Or calls on Line 2. Perks: freedom, quiet, responsibility, autonomy, productivity, money. I'm alone in the office for the majority of the day.
After work, I seem to have plans every single day. It's rare that I am alone, or just hanging out. If I am alone, I tend to drift off to sleep within a matter of minutes. Last night I sat behind my apartment building and fed the ducks hotdog rolls. These ducks have become my companions...I talk to them, feed them, name them, and love them...all the while trying not to hit them with my car or step on them when I sleepily leave my apartment every morning. I have some pictures to post of my new friends, but I can't yet, because of dial-up. In steve's words, "it'll take a fricken DAY" to load them. I am loving my new social life. And no, I wasn't referring only to the ducks. It's nice to catch up with old friends, new friends, friends in general. It feels good to be home.
It's a beautiful day today, and it's Friday, and I'm happy. I'm hungry and nobody will bring me food, so that bums me out, but other than that I'm.very.content.with.my.life. FEELS GOOD TO SAY THAT AND MEAN IT. Thank you to everyone who got me through one of the roughest patches in my life. I see a clearing up ahead, and it's gonna be amazing. In fact, it already is.
I better sign off AOL before I miss an important fax. From the restaurant down the road...hey if they didn't have a minimum order amount, I'd probably have them bring me food. Lol.
"*I think I like today* I think it's good* Its something I can't get my head around*"
