I am feeling very negative today. It may be just PMS, but I can't tell. All I know is that I am in a very unhappy and distressed state, and there doesn't appear to be anything I can do to change that, except to change jobs and move to another part of the country. I would make concrete plans to do this, but I have not yet decided what part of the country and what job I want. |
i think happiness, like wealth, is uncommon, which is why it's the ideal. |
It's not usually this bad. But since the car accident and the day off I had to take on Friday, everything has gone up in flames. I realize now that I very much dislike working at a job with no long-term goals to work towards but instead little problems that you have to solve every day. As much as you work, there is always more to do, and it's more of the same exact thing. Only the names change. It's suffocating. In August, it was proposed that my job would morph into more of a managerial position, where I would be responsible for coordinating work with someone doing essentially what I'm doing now. But that didn't make much sense to me (I couldn't conceive of what I would actually be responsible for doing. I mean, literally, what would my day be like?), so I haven't yet taken steps to start the transition. (Also, I don't like it when someone comes up with an idea and makes me write it up. It's your idea; you write it up. I don't know what you want me to say. And telling me "it can be rough -- I'll just tear it apart anyway" is not motivating....if you're going to tear it apart, you must know what you want. Which I don't. So again, you should write it.) This is what I'm tired of -- inefficiency. But it's humbling to discover that if things were actually run efficiently around here, I wouldn't have a job; there would be no need for me. |
the job market is absolutely pathetic right now. i hang my head at night. i'd settle for some security. |
|
|
i feel happy today because i have hope. now, i have to get my booty off to work! p.s. Spider, i find that people have a hard time believe it when they discover that i'm a genuinely nice person... it's like they're trying to figure out what the agenda must be. fwiw. |
California has never appealled to me. One thing, though -- when I was in San Francisco in the early '90s, I was struck by how well-dressed everyone was. Not that everyone was in suits, but that most people on the street had good taste. I want to move somewhere that is freezing in the winter and cool in the summer. Somewhere windy, too. But not Boston. |
|
are such a goth!! *laughs* |
Seriously, though...I want to live somewhere where it doesn't get too hot in the summer. I've lived in humid hells my whole life, and I'd like to be able to actually go outside from time to time between June and September without choking for oxygen. |
its warm, but its breathable. The bay area rarely breaks 92 degrees in the summer. The constant breeze from the bay keeps it quite cool. Seriously, 90degrees on a humid day in Atlanta is far worse than a 100 degree day here in LA. Im willing to bet all your allergies (im guessing you are an allergy girl too) would be gone here. Its a good thing the rest of the country doesnt know that CA is probably the greatest place to live in the US, otherwise they would all be here. |
Greenland, maybe? The tip of Argentina? |
|
contentment exists only in death. |
When I visited San Francisco that summer, I ran into my orthodontist on the street. Startling. |
|
|
false. contentment exists also in valium. |
|
|
|
i love san francisco too. i would move there if i had any special talents that would enable me to earn a living there. |
|
for my taste, anyway. |
|
|
PATH A leads to a Bitter Melanie, and PATH B takes the sceneic route to the same point. which path to choose? |
|
and chinese food is dirt cheap there, i hear. Cheap like pizza is in North America. cold, dark, cheap chinese food. I'm home! |
|
|
hey now, wait one minute! why is it weird that i'm genuinely nice?? |
fuck yeah, Spider. Although the Boy tells me that their government leaves much to be desired, something about the extreme left, and intense political correctness. I still don't see the problem. And i know they banned Kool-Aid due to to possible link to the red dye and cancer. This guy on IRC always asked me to send it to him. But i can live without Kool-Aid again, can you? Why aren't i there right now? |
|
|
|
|
cheap ass chinese from dirty joints is king. |
|
i am nice, but not the last couple days cause i am grouchy and these people here won't stay out of my personal space. |
|
It's thhinking like that that made me sick off of bad shrimp from shrimp lo-mein. I could not touch chinese food for months after. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impossible. |
|
YAY!!! |
|
Thank God thats never happened to me, but since I heard they have this ability, I take extra precautions,to not be in their line of fire. They really are most frightening. |
We get three inchers in texas. Nothing like turning on a bathroom light in middle of the night and see one sitting there on the floor, staring at you... |
|
Check in time is anytime, but check with management for check-out times,as they vary,depending on local. |
|
|
but, you know, fell free to drop by anyway, spider. Maybe they fear me and will never tread where i step. I AM THE ANTI-ROACH! |
