its really weird working and going to school. i heart my job, i wish it paid me, but i love it anyways.
its just interesting to interact with two entirely different groups of people in the same day.
like i come home from work where we deal with problems that actually have the potential to affect all the citizens of michigan.
the other week a congressman's staff member misunderstood what I was saying and thought i canceled on an event, when really i just regretted for a different event later in the day. well much to my surprise i got a call from the congressman himself (this is where i choke on whatever im currently eating). and i explain it all to him and calm him down and assure him it was just miscommunication.
so then i get home from work and i am shocked at how irresponsible alot of my friends seem. and i am pleased to see that a few really have their shit together. you could throw them out into the real world and they would be just fine.
the most dramatic topic is omg can we still talk to Ariel AND Darren and is that cool with them BOTH?
its kind of funny. i dont laugh though or anything, then it would seem like i didnt care. of course i do care.
and its funny how i have to force myself to transition back and forth between these two spheres.
how I cant look at a guy strangely when he doesnt let me off an elevator before him in Dennison
how i catch myself slipping to answer my phone with "Brianna Fritz" and use "Hi, how are you" instead of "hey whats up"
gossiping is so expected yet so forced
i notice how much some people lean on other people and dont even realize it. i hear more thank you's and pleases in an hour at work than an entire day at 703 church.
sometimes it takes some pretty intense acting on my part. to seem interested in the latest office gossip about some plants on some island or something.
and i have to act in ann arbor too. sometimes i feel like i have to dumb myself down
its weird
