so i had a minor breakdown in front of my boss on friday. basically, i have been working 18-20 hour days trying to cram in my current work, the stuff from my old job because there's no one left to do it right now, and training my new employees, which is the equivalent of 3 full-time jobs. i'm also so tired of people who have no sense of priority at all. this business is nothing but juggling priorities and if you can't do that then gtfo. seriously. anyway, j was sympathetic and let me go home at noon yesterday.
i also had to move to a new cube on friday. my old cube was just jam-packed with binders and notes tacked up to the walls and decorations and whatnot, so i was dreading this. luckily, two of the guys from another team helped me move all of that shit. but now it's sitting in a giant pile on my desk waiting for me to reorganize it all. of course, i'm supposed to work from home on monday, but then i realized that my stupid employee development plans are due that day and they have to be signed. afdjalkfjlakjfalkjfakj. so i will probably work from home in the morning and then commute mid-day to the office just so i can sign some worthless pieces of paper.
anyway, the front part of my hair is going gray. well, more like white. it's like, brown, left-over blonde, left-over red, white, brown, etc. plus my eyes look like my 90 year-old grandmother's instead of a nearly 28 year-old's. amazingly, though, i have lost weight under this stress. probably because i never, ever have time to eat.
speaking of looking like crap and eating... mom and i went out to lunch at panera when i got home from work yesterday. i'm wearing nice work clothes, but they're all wrinkled from falling asleep on the train, and my skin is kind of greasy and i've got a mouthful of food when some chick from high school comes up to say hi. okay, so why is it when i'm dressed to the nines like a rockstar, i never run into anyone, but when i'm totally disgusting, these people come out of the woodwork? so this chick and i were on the swim team together and weren't even friends but she's all nice and whatnot. idk. some of the 'popular' people from high school who i was kind-of-sort-of friends with just because we were on the same sports teams have added me on facebook and are inviting me to their cool-kids reunions and i'm like, huh? i was talking to mom about this and we're thinking that maybe these people actually did like me in high school but i was so shy that they gave up on drawing me out.
i'm going to see huey lewis and the news in concert for my b-day. rock on with my badself, right?
ps: saw burn after reading last night. i <3 the cohen brothers. i've actually seen every single one of their movies multiple times and even have scenes memorized. my parents have seen a few of them, but are not as into them as i am. so anyway, we got home and the big lebowski was on and my dad is like a devotee of that movie now. i think he's watched it three times now.
