More sleep yay! (29 of 40)
Man, I am just wiped OUT right now. I dunno if it's the heat or just my lack of sleep catching up to me, but I have like zero energy right now. Once I finish this post, I'm climbing right into bed and not even turning on an alarm. I love closing the night after I open. I love it even more than opening the morning after I close, which I actually do enjoy, despite what might be expected. It lets me finish anything I didn't finish the night before. Usually.
Speaking of work, I broke my dry spell! Got me two credits today, which happened to be the only two credits we had by the time I left. They were both pretty much gimmes, since the first guy asked for it right when he got to the register (I love it when that happens) and the second was one of the two new employees I was training. I probably wouldn't have thought to ask them, but Michelle reminded me. They didn't get it, but I still got the points for it regardless, so I'm happy. Incidentally, on the way home from work, my truck's odometer rolled over to 100000 miles. \o/
I started Half Life again finally, and got farther today than I ever had. Now I'm stuck though, so after looking around for a way to move forward for about ten or fifteen minutes, I decided to call it a night. Watched some TV, and then decided to succumb to my sleepiness. Thus here I am.
I think I'll bring up one more thing real quick before I hit the sack though, since I might forget it otherwise. I mentioned in a previous post that I couldn't figure out how to balance being a jerk and a pushover, or rather how to be neither. Along those same lines of thinking, it keeps occurring to me that while so many people like to talk about "being yourself", it implies that I shouldn't try to better myself. It just seems to be all about saying no to change. But that just sounds lazy. Am I wrong here, or does self improvement not change who someone is? How can I tell what's me and what needs fixing? Or should I ignore my thoughts regarding laziness and stop trying to change who I am? Far as I can tell, all it really comes down to is a judgment call on my part to say what I want to keep and what I want to change. But it doesn't really seem like a good idea to make those kind of judgments when I already don't trust my own instincts.
