Post-holiday ramblings...

I've been multi-tasking on the internet today, just doing whatever pops into my head at that particular moment. So I'd figured I'd fashion today's blog the same way...I'll just pop in here and there with random thoughts and whatever.

10:58am - digging through old UPS slips to track a package. Have sinking feeling that package in question was not sent via UPS overnight. By no fault of my own, mind you...I send it how they tell me to send it.

11:18am - finally sent e-mail after hearing all about one of the guys' Christmas. Good thing this week is my last week here...Charlie's the only entertaining one out of the bunch, and tomorrow's his last day.

11:20am - Wondering whether it's worth it to water the poinsettias on my desk. They're as good as dead, aren't they? Poor, poor poinsettias.

11:26am - Reply e-mail: "Please include all the details of the package." Apparently I have to type everything out...sending the tracking umber and a link to UPS isn't enough. Sigh. Back to the New York Times Magazine.

12:05pm - Boss Man is gone for the day. Two hours of no phones ringing is almost guaranteed.

12:19pm - Sigh. Done reading the Mag. Best part of Monday is reading the Magazine online. Worst part of Monday is finishing it. Just realized today is Tuesday. Whatever.

12:24pm - I have discovered on eBay that I probably won't get a lot of money for my old iMac. I'll get pocket change for it. Damn.

12:36pm - Sleepy and bored. Hungry too. Didn't get coffee this morning on the way in to work and I was still 20 minutes late. Yeah, totally time for this gig to be over. But for now, time for Yahoo radio and crossword puzzles.

12:39pm - But first, some more eBay research...I want a Tivo so bad I can taste it.

12:50pm - Maybe I'll just take Dad's advice and get a DVR through the cable company instead.

1:22pm - Back from the potty. Just got directions to interview for next temp assignment. Game plan for rest of day follows as such:
-prepare overnight package to Philly and check office mail
-MapQuest directions to interview from the mall.
-Leave work, go to mall, possibly to buy something nicer to wear to the interview, definitely for lunch.
-Go to interview.
-Race home, change, then off to the other mall for work and missing Rutgers play in a bowl game. (this is where Tivo would come in handy. But I still love my new laptop!!)
-Back home to catch the end of the game, some dinner, and maybe set up my printer too.

Well, plenty to do before leaving for the day, so I'll finally end this post. To the joy of most of you out there. Peace.

Struggling between commerce and the greater good...

...is emotionally draining. My current job allows me to work with schools in such a way that I'm beginning to realize yet again that I should be a teacher. To have the ability to work with kids and inspire them to work hard and get ready for the real world...that's something that's of real merit. That's something to truly be proud of. Even only reaching one kid a year out of the 30 or more you may teach...that's one kid that you've inspired to read more or write more or become a scientist or a teacher or the next President. I don't care if you think this sounds cliched...it's the truth. Anyway, now I'm in a position where the things that I really want to do can't be accomplished with the job that I currently have. Frustrating, yes. Surprising, no. Long time readers really know how not surprising this is. But things are ok for now. I'm thinking about lots of stuff and keeping busy at work and focusing on things that will help me keep my sanity...

With the brokeness...

That's how I'm rollin' right now. With the brokeness. Thank god for ramen noodles and chicken nuggets. Just finished spending my paycheck before I've even gotten it...on bills. ::sigh:: But there are happy things to look forward to! Andre is coming down to visit tomorrow because he's a lucky bastard who gets a 5 day weekend thanks to teachers' convention and Veterans' Day. But I guess I'm really the lucky one because I get to see him for a few days. And yesterday I got a call from another one of my awesome friends in Chicago who wants to come visit in December. Between that and the fact that the weather has turned absolutely gorgeous, I'm starting to see a few of the benefits of living down here in Florida. Except for the fact that I'm broke all the time. But then again, how many of you can say that you went to the beach last weekend? That's what I thought. So there. Ok...have to finish cleaning and then I have to put gas in my car (thank god...

Ha. HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Omg, that was hilarious. HILARIOUS! Did you read that last post? Jesus TF Christ. So I found those things that I was worried I would definitely find. Found a sad, pathetic dude who lied - LIED - about his job. Lived in a condo under his mama's name that I'm pretty sure was retirement housing. Claimed he was going to school...maybe he was...but failed a pop quiz. Then he used said class as an excuse to get out of coming to Rutgers Christmas, then said he would go, then LIED about why he was two hours late, then was the first one to leave and took his bottle of Ciroc (that I purchased, mind you) with him. Gawd. The good news is that I'm single. I still have the best job ever. Got promoted to manager in five months. Built a kick-ass team. Merger announcement dropped last October. Got serious about grad school, applied to Penn State. Got accepted. Had panic attack. My right-hand man at work is messing up and will probably ge...
