I feel like I have been neglecting my child.
And by my child, I mean this little space o'mine.
Without an overextending, boring breakdown of the last week, let's just leave it at the fact that the college was closed, so I wasn't working at this computer, and instead went to work a few random shifts at the coffee shop that was my former employement, and my home computer is in a fairly uncomfortable space and I just couldn't find the time or inspiration to write much. So, I took a week or so off.
Coolest Christmas presents included: the biography of Frank Zappa, really good binoculars, and a book all about weeds.
I said weeds.
I have not yet picked up the guitar. But I am home alone tonight, so perhaps I will.
The biggest thing, though, is my one little realization. I CANNOT continue for the rest of my life working at a 40 hr. a week desk job. I can't do it. First off, it's making me unhealthy. I mean, I used to be a fairly active person, and now my arm hurts, my back hurts, and my leg hurts, and I know for a fact that it's a direct correlation to how much I sit at this goddamned desk. It sucks, and I want no part of it. Second, I am much more social than this job, and I need to be able to interact with people. When I went back to the coffee shop, every single person who came around the corner and saw me working was all smiles and excitedness and how are you, and I KNOW that they were happy to talk to me. I'm good at that, and I love people, and I can make even the most curmudgeonly customer at least mildly pleased at their interaction with me. Now, I know I can't go on working a shitty, low-paying food service job, but I need to do something that allows more of the same kind of face-to-face interaction, and a little bit of walking around now and again.
And saying all that makes me REALLY not want to be here at work right now.
*sigh*
At least I have you to talk to. :-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Awwww DL. First off, Happy Goddamn New Year! Yes, your child was getting a little restless. I took time I didn't have to catch up. I actually feel guilt when I don't. I'm going through the same crap with my job. I am out amoungst the people during the day. Then I have stupid amounts of work when I get home. Isn't there any rediculous inventions that haven't been thought of yet that we can create and sell?
I hear ya, Darek. I got very depressed when I watched the 60 Minutes ep the other night on the guys who created Google. They never cease to make me feel unlucky. Billionaires at under 30. Blech.
Let's brainstorm. There's GOT TO be SOMETHING.
Tara- Thanks! Got your Target email, btw. Tanku!! I'm catching up on your recent blogging as well...will drive-by comment soon. :-) Hope you had a good Christmas, etc...
Glad you're back, DL! :)
Lets never fight again.
Don't worry, Jack, it wasn't your fault! Missed everyone...
I just had a little trouble convincing my friends that it is okay to be friends with a centaur. But they were okay with the chaps.
