Its about that time again where I detest going to work. Its almost cyclical. I hate it, it gets better, things are great, and then I hate it again.
Publix makes me lose my mind sometimes.
And it's sad really, because I certainly don't want to work there the rest of my life, yet it encompasses a large amount of my time, on and off the clock, as well as my energy and stress levels. I feel an inert responsibility for some god-forsaken reason which I will never understand.
Basically I'm just ready for things to get better again. But the holiday season either brings out the best or worst in people--and this year seems to be apparently the worst. Could be the worsening economy, could be that people are just in general dissatisfied with their pathetic lives, or it could be that they're getting slammed with life and they're just inherently disgruntled. Whatever it may be, they're usually taking it out at publix and it's...hard.
Life is hard. I get it. Its the circle of humanity. Spiraling in a downward effect.
In other news, my last class of the semester is tomorrow and I am elated. Winter break is going to hopefully be relaxing because next semester is already stacked. Shane and I are heading to Gainesville in about 2 weeks so that will be nice to spend time with his fam. My birthday is also soon so thats always exciting I suppose.
I've become absolutely obsessed with reading lately. I have a large stack of books to my left which I intend to read throughout the break. I think I'm most excited about that. Reading is by far the greatest most perfect escape. And I love it. I just finished Anthem by Ayn Rand and am about to start Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. Wow Im such a nerd to get happy over books but what can I say? I'm an english major. :)
