(no subject)
I just read over my last post and....I must have been really angry that day. I mean, it was really rambly and hard to read. The good news is that I'm feeling much better now. I got my project done, my mentor is going to help me with my issue, and my review will be done by friday. Chaching!!
I made it my goal this year to actually do something with my life other than work and come home, watch tv/chat/play games, and go to bed. Because as much as I love you guys, going to bed at night and realizing that all I've done all day is worked and sat in front of a computer or tv doesn't make me very happy. I even started to lose weight, but I got sick about a month ago and it threw me off track.
Once in awhile I get these "ah ha" moments, where I realize that this is the way life is supposed to be. Today I volunteered with people from work at the Cherry Blossom Festival. I didn't want to get up this morning and it was overcast so I didn't really want to go, but I went anyway. I figured we were going to be under our tent for the whole four hours, but it turned out that they wanted us to take these huge bags filled with flipdrums and hand them out to the crowd. In the meantime, the rain started pouring down like crazy and I had no umbrella. The water soaked through my jacket, two shirts and shoes in minutes...my face was wet and I had rainwater in my eyes all morning, but I didn't even notice except when we were back in the tent getting the bags refilled. I didn't mind, because I was with people that I liked and we were doing something that made other people happy. I remembered when I used to do this kind of thing in college and there was my moment. So it ended up being worth giving up most of my day, and I plan to continue volunteering through my job.
The next step will be getting people to stop talking to me about work when we're not at work. >_
