Yes, I've been away. Lucky for me I got to see Preggers yesterday and she's inspired me to continue writing. I'd apologize to you all for having to read my words that I think lack, shall I say, pizzaz? But you're reading it of your own free will, so that's your own issue.
I've been contemplating my career a bit lately. One of my least favorite coworkers came to my desk recently and told me that I look so at home here. That I have "administrative assistant" written all over me, and she can see me doing this forever. Why would she say this? I know she means well, but how often is a conversation like that positively received? I'm 26 for God's sake! Of COURSE this isn't my long term job! It's great while I pay off my school bills, but . . . I digress. One of my very favorite coworkers, Boobalicious, and I have wonderful talks, and she always presents me with calming words of wisdom. Or tells me to fuck it all, which is also helpful at times. But this time she reminded me that just because I'm good at this (meeting planning, call scheduling, database management, boring blah, blah boring), doesn't mean that I won't be fabulous at something else. Something more rewarding. Something to make me truly proud. And I have plenty of time to find it. *Long sigh* Thank God for Boobalicious.
Looking to move soon! Jack is putting an offer in to rent-to-own (sort-of) his current dream condo, which has an extra bedroom AND bathroom for moi. I'll miss Staci and the short walk to the metro, but it'll be nice not to live in a frat house. A lot of things will be nice about that situation. The money won't, though. That'll be much more expensive, but totally worth it.
Upcoming money-suckers I look forward to enjoying:
-Late January / early February trip to see Geno-beano for a post-Christmas Christmas
-New tires
-Early Summer or early Fall cruise to Alaska for Grandma's 80th birthday
-Next Christmas in Italy? D & J may be there on sabbatical. That'd be sweeeeeet.
I'll post again soon to recap the joyous Christmas holiday.
