Dear Expensive Blog,
I have 15 min until my boss gets back from lunch. 15 devoted to you...
i know i have left you for my lover myspace, but it is only because i think taking 4 hours to write out a story or an experience will get me fired but looking at pages of rock chicks/dudes half naked and underage for four hours will not.
this is the type of irrational half-logic that has been ruling my life the last few years.
i've gotten even lazier at being logical or even rational as of late. it's discouraging learning all kinds of things in college and then having to give them up for the real world. like in college we're taught to suggest improvements, speak up, question authority in general. in the real world i am told that i am nobody so be happy with paying $400 a month for COBRA insurance and no pay raise. and start being scared of your boss, because it pisses him off you don't kiss his ass and giggle helplessly at his jokes as soon as he walks into a room. i'm sorry, it's not that i'm cocky. i'm just not scared of you. i would like to deal with you as a person not as a/n (abusive) father figure.
but that doesn't fly. and i know that.
i listen to my friends say "i'm not being used to my full potential" or "this isn't really challenging me" and i'm like.... yeah you want to work in the corporate world, and you're 6 months outta college kid, you're no one.
then i whine about the inane tasks that make up my daily work routine.
i bitch about my work a lot, but i really have it so easy. my mom busted my chops the other day. she said "you know i watch my care techs and nurses BUST THEIR ASSES, and you're dicking around on the internet"
that's some cold shit from your mom. but, i'm not saving lives here.
1:59 boss's back gotta go.
