it's finally here. the start of a new year. you wouldn't think it would be so important, but another year like last, and i might not make it out.
between tim and gregs car accident that rocked me for weeks, and then my mom almost dying of a mysterious virus, i wasn't sure i'd make it.
a year of working 7 days a week with the occasional day off wore me down to the stressed, non-achiever that i am today. i'd be happy with a steady job as a secretary. always thought so. now i'm sure of it. by the grace of god, the college kept me into the new year. i have another 4 months to convince them to not get two interns for the front so i can stay on through the summer. this is the best job i could have hoped for, even if it comes with no days off. it allows me to finally say that i'm not in poverty. i'm not in poverty. who would have thought 3 years ago that i'd be able to say that. i'm not technically poor. it's an amazing feeling. my car is almost paid off, and once it is, probably in february, i can start to put money away for a new one. the bigger the down payment the happier i'll be.
ermas is what it is. a steady job i can always go back to. no ones saying it's perfect. my gm is real piece of work and should be fired. but theres so few of us left from the old regime that i'm not sure we could push him out. if it weren't for my friends, high seniority, and the lack of will to learn a new menu, i wouldn't still be there.
i can't say anything really happened with guys. it was the same torture and and letdown that it's been for years. only i'm better at letting it be okay that it's just me. although according to the girls, their new years resolution is to get me laid in 2008. we'll see. i'd settle for a hand to hold and some company. i'm a simple girl, with the relationship experience of a 12 yr old. we all have our quirks.
i have amazing friends. yesterday mel, clara, lizzie, crystal, and angela came over around 1 and we watched last seasons antm until 1230 with breaks for things like pizza, chinese, shakes, smoothes, soft pretzels, and chips. yeah we started the new year out right. i'm of course the easy target, and it never bothers me to be. it means i'm loved. plus they have all agreed to lean on mel west to cover my c/o shift the night of my birthday. who wants to wor 8am-11pm with an hour break between on their birthday. i wouldn't be going out that night. thats for sure. i'd be home. sleeping. i have friends everyone. thats what i got in 2007. and a good job. lets not ignore the monetary just because it doesn't compare.
i'm excited this year. are you?
