I am having a lot of trouble justifying my working 35 hours a week this summer. Yes, it's nice to have money, and in past summers I was more than happy to devote most of my waking hours to the procurement of said money. Now, though, I can't convince myself that it's really worth it. Yes, it's nice to have more than $25 at any given point in time, but I could easily accomplish that goal without signing away my summer holiday. For the first time in years I really want to be in the Bay Area, but what's the good of that if I'm slaving away in Walnut Creek for a whopping $7.50 an hour? (By the way, that's exactly half as much as I got last summer, an interesting little tidbit that doesn't really do wonders for the psyche.)
In other news, I'm meeting up with Tom for lunch today...yeah, whatever. It may just be me being optimistic (pessimistic?), but I don't think I really want him anymore. Good friend, yes. Anything else, eh. There are too many interesting people in the world for me to get hung up on a my last high school boyfriend.
That's what I keep telling myself, at least. Oh well.
[EDIT] After finising this entry, I proceeded to first cancel my lunch with Tom, and then to quit my job. Conclusion? I AM AMAZING!! [/EDIT]
