Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I’m still here, I’ve just been busy O.K.? now back the eff off me and my horrible lack of consistency in writing posts before I sick carnivorous garden gnomes on you.
So what’s new with me you ask? Well on the love life front I’m pretty damn content. Started quietly dating a hot, smart, kind of geeky guy a few months ago and that’s going well. What sealed the deal for me was when we had only known each other for 2 weeks, and he didn’t bat an eyelash at me making 200+jello shots to start consuming and handing out at 10am on a Saturday morning while dressed as a spice girl and running around downtown Portland with close to 500 belligerent costumed folks with shopping carts for the Urban Iditarod. A man who can hang with me after that experience automatically gets my official seal of approval. Fast forward to 3 months later and his only annoying habits are wearing crocs around his house and putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Once I figure out the perfect plan for the “accidental” demise of his beloved crocs it will almost be perfect.
On the work front I’m miserable. I constantly need to remind myself to be grateful for the little things. My reality is I have a great job that I’m paid a lot for with good benefits and little to no supervision, which would be ideal to a lot of people but I feel stifled. Morale is low and I feel like I’m hitting a wall. I dream of writing “I quit” in gasoline on my cubicle, then setting it on fire. (Of course I’d never ACTUALLY do that mmm’kay? I’m a professional)! Part of what’s holding me back is finishing my damn degree. I’m finally in my last year of going part-time, but I have a really screwy schedule as a result of needing to take a couple daytime classes. Most employers are not accommodating to those requirements when you are new to the company and have yet to prove yourself. So instead I browse job postings I’m more than qualified for, paying more than I make now with better companies, and keep muttering “1 more year” under my breath.
Finally on the home front, everything else is status quo. I pulled up the bathroom sub-flooring and replaced it with tile, with no injuries and without killing anyone. Of course, since I’m a lazy procrastinator the rest of the bathroom still needs new paint and I have to finish the trim but that’s besides the point, which is, the floor looks awesome! So if you need to come over to my house and use the restroom, I may instruct you to keep your eyes on the floor the entire time, no big deal right?
So that’s my update in a nutshell. I promise to write more in the future, but not as much as your creepy stalker you met off a Craigslist personals ad.
Happy Tuesday!
