My new job...

Sep 16, 2005 08:48

My new job is so...utterly...tedious. I basically just answer the phone, file, and do spreadsheets on Microsoft Excel all day. I feel like an ingrate because it's close to my house, it's a great environment, and everyone is really nice. It's just so f-ing boring. I guess most peoples' jobs are boring. I guess this is what you call being an adult.

I never wanted to accept that. I've always believed that life is what you make it. So for a while there my life was more or less one big party. I guess it's normal to feel like life is boring and tedious when the party is over and it's time to go home. I always find something fun to do on the weekends because otherwise I'd go insane. The important thing is to have some balance, which is something I've tended not to be so good at in my life. I think I'm getting better at it as I get older.

I just can't wait for November to get here so I can get the heck outta Orange County and move in with my buddy Angela in the valley and be close to my friends and not have to drive an hour-and-a-half to see the people I care about. I've been trying to cultivate mindfulness and this anticipation is messing it up because all I do is daydream about stuff like how I'm going to decorate my room and how I'm going to spend my money and what a brilliant writer I'll be when I get my time and privacy back.
