High on Coffee
So applied to Child Advocates, Inc. for a staff attorney position as a child advocate a.k.a. guardian ad litem. So excited about that job, I hope to gawd I get it. Would also have the added benefit of being able to tell BPR to fuck off.
About to leave the dreaded age of 31. 31 was my scary age, now my scary age will be 48...I've decided. I'm ready for 31 to be over and for this year to be over. A lot of this year has been crap. Time for a list....
Now that I am (almost) no longer 31:
- I know that I will never be honestly carded again. Oh sure, they will ask for my ID, but they know it's bullshit, I know it's bullshit, and it doesn't even make me feel good anymore.
- I consider laser hair removal and not for my legs.
- I know "soul-mates" don't exist...or that they do, but not in the way you think when you are 22.
- I think seriously about credit scores and interest rates, and can't believe I bought a value meal with a Visa.
- I know the difference between vocation and avocation.
- I don't care when I cry stoopidly during a movie....or during a Kodak commercial.
- I know that women will always freak out when they see me in the women's bathroom and I'm less annoyed...still annoyed, but less.
- I know that sometimes all you will have is a moment in a day that feels good...kids kickin a ball in the air, over the overpass, at sunset...and maybe that's enough.
- I can actually taste the difference between good wine and two-buck-chuck.
- I purposely listen to NPR.
- I know that I really don't know shit.
