(no subject)
Moving to Florida was a good decision. I like it here a lot. I'm starting to miss my family and my friends, but for the most part, I feel at home already. I like what I do. My job can be a bit stressful and take long hours, but at the end of the day, I get home with a smile on my face. You never think of it like this when you're going to school, but the things that I help design will actually be built someday...someday soon. I've gone out to lunch a few times with my co-workers to this shopping area that was designed by my firm. It's amazing to think that one day sometime in the past, someone like me was sitting at their desk drawing out the placement of the buildings, the exact specifications on how the parking lot would work, and placed trees on the paper to help out with shade. How cool is that thought?
I'm afraid I'm going to start feeling lonely real soon though. Gabbi is going back home soon and even though Kat lives near by, I'd like to be able to hang out with someone after work one night or something. Not do this continual routine of work, drive home, gym, bed everyday.
Oh, by the way, I had a four-five inch palmetto bug crawling across my face this morning. It helped me get out of bed, but upon my return home, I found it sitting on my window sill and I screamed bloody murder. Damn roaches. And these fuckers fly!
Another side note, I've been encountering ignorant comments made by a few co-workers these days. Normally I keep my cool and help educate, but after the "oriental" comment yesterday, I got in my car and heard a very racist conversation taking place on the radio show I was listening to. So when I got home, I wrote them an email. Guess what...I heard them read it on air! It was awesome. It didn't stop them though so I figured I'd just let it go. Someone out there empathized with my letter...I hope.
