It's kind of interesting. I just realized that over the last week, I've spent very little time online. Actually, I've been spending less and less time online in the last couple of months. I rarely sign on to AIM anymore. There have been a few times where I haven't turned on my computer in 4 days. When I do go online, I usually check my e-mail, read the Yahoo headlines, check my friends' journals, update mine if I have something to say, and sometimes check the weather or read The Onion or something like that. And in all honesty, I have to say it feels wonderful. I don't want to completely eliminate the internet, but limiting it, especially when my work is staring at a computer screen for 8 hours a day, makes me feel so much better.
Last weekend, all I felt like doing was getting stuff done. So I went over to my future in-laws and we worked on the guest list, helped my mom set up her new computer, made an inventory of everything I have in the crawlspace from college (thus determining what Keith and I need to register for when we get around to it), repaired my duffel bag I made in 7th grade home ec class that I still use frequently, and tasted food samples from the people who we have decided to use for catering. I think I've determined that doing "work" of that kind really energizes me. The idea of going to work 8 hours a day and spending the rest of my time entertaining the snot out of me for the rest of my life makes me depressed.
The position I'm in right now really sucks. Since Keith and I don't live together, we have to go to one of our houses every time we want to see each other (ie, almost every day). Then, we have to entertain ourselves since one of us is not at our house. So basically, I always have to choose between seeing my guy or doing my own thing but not getting to see him. I'm looking forward to the day where we get to see each other, but I can do stuff other than just have to have us "date" all the time. We were talking about that just the other day, and we're both looking forward to the day where we get to come home, to our home, and see each other, but we don't necessarily have to go out and entertain ourselves all the time.
I got my performance review at work today. Got a "fully met expecations" or "exceeded expectations" in every category, and my overall rating was "exceeded expectations". So that made me happy. I think it's safe to say my job is pretty stable.
And to close, something funny that Keith e-mailed me today...go to Google, type "weapons of mass destruction", and click "I'm feeling lucky".
