again, its been awhile......
wow....i havent been in here for awhile. changed the layout....let me know what you think...you know, all of you who are reading it.....so work has been INSANE the past few days. this is the first day i havnet worked overtime since last wednesday......there are perks to being the hourly employee. god knows i could use the extra cash....woohoo car payment.....starbucks card payment....rent...yeah....'being grown up isnt half as fun as growing up' makes me wonder if i did it to fast. the whole growing up thing. i mean, i have had a job since i was 16. not that thats strange...but it quickly became my life. i mean, i still work for the company now.....who does that? finds their dream job at 16? i started working full time junior year of college...well, officially...the gap ran my life long before that. then i got promoted....and i got promoted again. not because i needed the money...not because someone told me i had to work full time....but because for some sick reason, i wanted to. i gave up parties and dinners and friends and boyfriends and well, sanity to get what i wanted. but, was it worth it? i guess ill never really know. i was dealing with bosses and work and work stress and parking tickets and oil changes long before any of my college friends. some days it seemed like everyone wanted a piece of me, and i wasnt sure there was going to be any left. i had the party life...well, sort of freshman year...im not so sure that was me....but part of me longs to run with carrie on sex and the city....im 22....and here i am living in the suburbs....with all these young families...maybe its just not me....is it april yet? can i move into the city now? please? i want to go out...i want to be social...yet theres really no where to go around where i live...and no money to go there with....i just wonder if i let my college years slip away...and i didnt get all out of it that i should have...could have...but deep down, i know that if i had to do it all again, i wouldnt change anything.
everyone at work...well...in the baby office and our distribution person saw bono out the window and at lunch....why do i miss everything? why was bono in san francisco....and what was he doing by the gap office....
tonite is the first time in awhile that ive been home alone all night. just kind of enjoying the peace and quite. tired....sore...i need a relaxing night at home. yay law and order marathon...returning to my old navy days...where i come home and lay in front of the tv all night and do nothing. i need to address friends and family invites (if you want one and you havent told me, tell me now and give me your address. i have bunches and id be happy to send you one), go through the mail...shop for car insurance....but i really dont give a crap right now. just want to sit here. so im going to :) yay..they just advertised the monk christmas special :) yay christmas....yay shows set in san francisco.
i love the holidays....i cant wait to go home....bout time for a vacation again...i actually want to see the snow...of course, ill see it on the walk from the airport to the car and then ill be done...i heard part of a christmas song on the radio today....(they were playing this commercial saying that it was almost time for christmas music on the radio)....mariah careys all i want for christmas is you. made me realize that this is the first christmas in 5 years that i wont be working in a gap store....or any store for that matter. just kind of weird. ill almost miss the holiday rush and craziness that comes with working in a store...12+ hour days....craziness ensues.....holiday hires....more craziness....crazy customers....nice customers....not that i want to go back, i really do love my job now...but yeah....just lots of change. for someone whos usually freaked out over change, there sure has been alot of it lately......all these holiday commercials are making me nostalgic....i see them and associate it with my gap days. saturday sales....snow....christmas...retail....chautauqua mall....central square....bonnie...andrea....clayton.....manequins....visits...will i ever be able to let it go?
man...my knee is still jacked up. can i get a new one? its still swollen...strange though....like the bone is bigger on that side cause its not squishy swollen....i dont know. kelly told me to go get it looked at....i think im gonna give it a few more days.....cause im me and i would do that....today at work we finally finished putting together color rings....what a pain in the ass that was......took the 6 of us like a day and a half combined time. calling a temp anyone? i started training a new girl today....its weird...ive been there like 2 months....and im tackling special projects and training people and having lots of work and getting stressed....i feel like ive come into my own there.....i love the job..i love the people....now that ive given up caring what everyone thinks and become more concerned with getting my job done...and done well....im really feeling like i belong there...like its a fit.
ok...this is long enough for one entry.....off to veg in front of the tv...watch law and order...(thanks andy for getting me addicted)...and maybe write...im working on a new one...its about 4 college roommates...kind of based off of me and my roommates...but not really....let me know if you want to read it....
and for the record, i have no clue what quixotic means......thats why i picked it....cause im weird.....
