I'm itching for a change. I realize that I get this way every year about this time. I've been in a rotten mood and I need to snap out of it. I need a haircut, new clothes, new life, new adventure...Of course I can only afford the first one...but I think I might go for it. I'm bored. REALLY bored. Work was alright today. I got a lot done (Brenda and I cleaned out the Reference section, wrote up booklists, packed boxes, sent out letters, etc.). But I am ABSOLUTELY sure I don't want to work in an office setting like this again. I miss the sunshine. I miss interacting with people. There is interaction here, but it's not the same as having everyone working as a team on a project/goal. Everyone has their own programs to worry about. The only thing that united the office (somewhat) is the broken coffee maker. How sad...
I'm excited for Folk Fest. It's going to be great. I'll get to see some people and listen to amazing music. Who could ask for anything more? But I know once Folk Fest is done, there is little time left of the summer. I'll only have one week of work left, 3 weekends before I move, a few weeks left with the boy, a few weeks left with friends...
I saw the funniest thing ever the other day. A grown man (I'm guessing about 35-40) was wearing a bike helmet, knee pads, and wrist guards trying to rollerblade downtown. It was pretty cute. Almost made me want to get out of the car and help him. There is always the funniest people downtown. I see them on my way to work or on my way home. I saw a guy this morning in a cream/white suit riding a black motorcycle (with matching black helmet) today. It made me laugh in its absurdity.
I think I might go for coffee with an old friend tonight. I haven't seen her in a very long time. We went to elementary school/jr high together. It's weird to be with people from your past and really think about what they (and yourself) were like then and how you've changed/how little you've changed since then. If the coffee date doesn't pan out, I think I'll lounge about and get ready for the weekend. Make some plans and maybe go out and pick up some stuff. Oh the glamorous life I lead. I haven't spent a lot of time with the family lately. It's been tense at home...so that would be time well spent...
Well, I should wander off and do some last minute things before I leave the office...have a good one friends.
