I figure it's about time I update this thing.
What's been going on with me lately? Well, I've been working. A lot. I spend Monday through Saturday either at the office or out giving estimates. It's the slow season for painting, so I'm not giving out as many estimates as I was a few weeks ago, but I keep busy at the office doing random shit like invoices and whatnot. Sometimes though, it's completely dead and I just sit around and wish that I didn't have to be in the office and could go home and sleep.
I haven't been getting enough sleep. It's ridiculous, but I'm constantly exhausted. 2 days in the last 7, I've slept over 12 hours just cause I get home and eat and then crash.
I mean, I like my job. Don't get me wrong kids. I'm incredibly grateful for my position and the opportunity to even be here. It's just really taxing sometimes cause there's a lot of pressure to get jobs because if I'm not doing that, there isn't any work for the crews. It's also weird because I'm also in charge of supervising some of the crews, making sure they're doing a good job and all, and these guys are all older than I am. They treat me with respect and everything, but I'm sure that they still see me as "the boss's kid"
Aside from work, things are ok, I suppose. I really wish I had more time to hang out, and that some of my friends showed a bit more interest in keeping in touch. I do realize that everyone has school and work and everything, so I don't take it personally.
I just wish I wasn't in the cycle of work, go home and play video games then sleep five times a week, work Saturday and hang out at $onny and Maria's place once a week and see the Woodstock crew every 2. I think this monotony in my life is making me a bit down.
Not to mention that things with one of my closests friends are kind of weird right now. She's the one person I talk to the most and share everything with, but apparently I was using as her a substitute livejournal and all I do is criticize her decisions. I really don't agree with that statement, but I'll try to do better because I value our relationship greatly. It just sucks that when I talked to her today, I got a "Great to hear from you" and "Keep in touch" Those are things you say to someone you only want to hear from sporradically. Maybe I'm just over reacting.
I had a bunch of really fucked up dreams last night. One of them being that I went to visit Vanessa again, only this time, they wouldn't come pick me up at the airport. Vanessa asked me if I could meet her at her school and I was like "I guess, but I'll have to rent a car" and she said that would be fine because they were afraid that if they came to get me, her mom would get in another accident. In another one, I was Spiderman.
In other news, despite my better efforts, I'm still single. The whole "monotony cycle" isn't helping at all because I never meet anyone new. I mean, I meet customers just about every day, so they're new people, but not eligible new people. And when I do meet someone new, I do something to fuck it up. What? I don't know. My last attempt to have something with someone ended with a shitload of confusion and both of us just acting like friends now whenever we're in the same place.
I guess I'm too picky.
Well...I guess I should be getting back to work. Or not. I'm just done for now.
