Trudging Along...
Almost a month since I've been here. The area's great, but I've been so wiped out or busy most of the time that I haven't really taken the time to explore it. Have made friends with the crazy wild turkey's though. Caught myself one time as I was calling out, "Well hello Mr. Wild Turkey" after he had gobbled my way, but realized some people might decide I'm crazy, which I prefer to keep to myself ;-p.
The area continues to be pretty, some of my coworkers continue to be groovy people, my housing continues to be lovely, and my roommate is still awesome - Yay for all of those things =-). However, my boss has cartwheeled her way into the "How in the Hell did this person ever land in management" club, and a couple people are still those people you have to watch your back around. This job is full of long and draining hours, and I think our boss has a vacuum pump set to suck our souls straight out of us and into the dark, dusty chamber in her shoe. The shoe, in theory, would be a stilletto heal set to spear our jugulars. Joy, joy, joy. And I learned today that there will be a couple of weeks in June where I will be blessed with pretty much the crappiest schedule possible. Yippee.
I have tomorrow off, which will be LOVELY. But I only have it off because I have to work on Saturday. I was just down in Southern California this weekend for the wedding of a friend. I think it's so awesome when fantastic people find each other and do that whole falling in love thing! Hahaha. Gee, love, what's that?! No, seriously, he's a great guy and I'm so glad he found a fabulous girl. Plus he used to be married to a psycho ex-friend of mine, so the fact that he came through that to find a terrific girl is a wonderful, much deserved thing. On Saturday I went to Disneyland with my lovely pal who also was my date to the wedding. He was my +1! I hadn't been to Disneyland in 11 years, so it was actually pretty groovy. I got the coolest Mickey ears - Yay! They are pirate Mickey ears with the bandanna and the earring =-)!!
So I have to believe life in general is still good. It's just so easy to get so gosh darn consumed by the one or two things in your life that weigh on you. Just need to start pumping Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" into my head on a constant feed while at work =-).
