I haven’t had Sundays off for a while. That shouldn’t matter. It’s the same day, really, as any other. No reason a Friday off can’t do what a Sunday can do. Friday, or Tuesday, or any old day should give the same comfort, the same last-minute motivation, the same assurance that my house of cards has [...]

Monday was a sanity-testing yo-yo of stressful home issues and heartbreaking family news followed by my first two sales and a happy run-in with an old friend. I spent the first part of the day declaring it the worst day ever and the second part celebrating and smiling, with a little nagging voice in the back [...] Last night at work, I officially began a different sales campaign. Volunteering for it was the best decision I have ever made at Terminix. I realize I say that with only six weeks’ worth of decisions having been made, but I can’t stress enough how much happier I am. Each campaign is structured a little differently [...] Yesterday treated me all kinds of right. A 100% enjoyable workday (worknight?) (And enjoyable, really? Crazy I know!) and a 150% enjoyable night. But I took no photo. I must start carrying my camera again. And so far, today’s been a sweet warm kiss on the mouth. Woke up early, was gifted an enormous bottle of Diet [...] Saturday night, I came home after work tired and down and fell into bed a few hours later as hard and blank as a zombie with a pick axe in her brain. Today I struggled for several minutes to even remember what I had DONE the day before, and once I realized it was literally only [...] Sometimes I look at photos I’ve taken of myself and think I aged a decade in two years. It’s the last day of January. On one hand, I’ve had a good month. I lost some weight. I did some fun stuff. I saw my friends more often. I cleaned the house more often. I got a job. [...] Today I start a project. It is a large project. A project with many goals and many requirements. Fuck, it’s a no-holds-barred life changer is what it is. See, I’m really awesome. Like seriously cool as can be. But I’ve gone way off the rails the past few years. You know. I bitch about it all [...] It’s the end of my twenties as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiiine. (Thank you R.E.M. for giving us that infinitely adaptable line. And also for being older than me.) I turned 30 on Saturday. Seeing as I possess an insatiable and damn near compulsive tendency to crack a self-deprecating joke at any opportune moment [...] The last two months are one long day. Thinking back, I can feel events and emotions that were long and beautiful and real at the time but now they rush in and crawl back like waves on a beach. Or strobe lights in a haunted house, maybe. The waves, or strobes if you prefer that simile [...] A few weeks ago, I got really excited about a communications specialist position posted on St. Jude/ALSAC’s website. I’m qualified for it, I know people there, it’s totally something I want to do and who doesn’t want to work at St. Jude, right? In fact, of all the jobs I’ve applied for, it’s the position I’m [...] |
