This morning I woke up feeling calm about work.
Most people would say “big deal” to that, but it’s a major thing for me!! I don’t remember the last time I’ve felt sorta caught up. I’ve been outrageously and probably needlessly freaking out about stuff coming up and it has consumed my life and I hate, hate, hate that feeling!
So yesterday I did something about it. I got lots of stuff done (and still managed to insert a quick entry during lunch) during the day and then stayed late (and made some brownie points with my boss). And then took a bunch of paperwork home with me.
On the way home, I stopped by this great little breakfast place and ate a vegetarian omelette and consumed bucketfuls of coffee while I did most of the write-up for my presentation on Friday! I live close to a fairly large, private university so there were lots of books cracked and pencils to paper at this place. I fit right in!
Started chatting with this adorable young student who was telling me about the fender bender he just had on the way to the restaurant. His Lexus will never be the same! Sheesh!! Did I tell you it is an expensive university too? He couldn’t believe that I was doing real work! Something he’ll probably never have to do!
Also listened in on a conversation some musician-types were having. I could tell they wanted me to listen to their “witty” banter as they were talking juuuuuust loud enough for someone within a certain radius (that would be me) to hear everything. Not just parts…all. I only half paid attention. Latino, black guy and white guy discussing racial differences in music. Honestly, it all sounded very rehearsed. Heard it all before. It’s funny because one guy kept looking over as if he wanted me to comment!! I didn’t bite.
I worked until I got a phone call. Stephanie. Wanted to tell me all about her muscle-boy moving in with her. Sounded like she wanted my approval. I told her to be careful. Seriously. The guy has a history of violence!! What the hell? Why do I have the feeling that she’ll eventually call me in an emergency to come get her and let her stay with me for a while? We’re not even that great of friends. Sure I like her, but she’s so young and wild and has the tendency to go overboard with the partying and I’m turning into this old fart who takes cabs home from the bars when I’ve had enough!!
I finished most of the bullet points for my write up and then drove home wired as hell on the coffee. It kinda made me sick! Too much! Gross thing that is probably waaaaayy too much information: drank so much that my pee smelled like coffee!!
Hopped on the internet before bed. Sent a note (and a photo) to LDL. Thinking about going to see him in August. I think I will have to be there on business anyway, but I think I will go twice. Once for business, and once for monkey business! Ha—crack myself up!
Welp, this entry has gone waaay down hill. I think I better go for now. Just feeling giddy that I was such a good girl last night! I hope this feeling lasts. We’ll see after a couple hours at work!!
Happy Wednesday!
