(no subject)
I want to bake some cookies. That sounds like an awesome idea, before it gets so hot outside that the thought of turning on an oven will make me melt into a puddle of disgustingness. (Hey, that's actually a word!)
I had a dream about work last night. I only have 10 days left in this position but I'm freaking out about my abilities to handle the stress that will start on Monday. Things are absolutely insane with the amount of work necessary AND I will be solely responsible for training the two new co-ops. They are going to be absolutely useless. I mean that in the nicest way possible. I was useless for at least the first six weeks of my time working there. There are just so many anomalies that are no intuitive at all, like secret requirements that you can't anticipate until you fuck them up. My former fellow co-op and I did our best to create a thorough manual for the new kids, but it can only be used as a guide. I know I can do only what I can do and then the rest is not up to me. I'll try to remember to just breathe and take breaks when I need it. Any tips on how I can stop myself from being emotionally invested in this?
I could've gone home this weekend if I'd made up my mind earlier to go but I should've left last night right after work on Thursday. I don't want to go home per say, but I'm probably not going to go home until next January or so after I get back from Europe. I really want to go visit my little brother down in Florida but he's being a dick about planning anything and the more time that passes the more prices for flights go up. I guess I have to take the initiative and pick some dates and tell him I'm coming so he better get time off work. Jason and I really want to go to Busch Gardens down in Tampa...
Jason and I have little to no plans for this weekend and I'm not super concerned about that. I think it would be nice to just enjoy this break in the weather and perhaps see the fireworks tomorrow. Tonight he is going to be in yet another improv show so that's something. I do have a craving for some sort of sugary snacks...
We are going to the farmer's market in Copley Square, hopefully it is open and we can get some yummy things.
the end.
