A New Year’s Update in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

I have finally recovered (for the most part) from the most colossal hangover known to mankind. I tell you, I am waaaaaayyy too old for those kind of careless and foolish shenanigans anymore.

I never did find my keys.

I’m not going to beat myself up over it anymore. I know what I need to do.

I’m back in the swing of work. The holidays are over. I’m working on the stress thing at work. I know we haven’t been back long enough for me to have too many issues, but I can feel the needle slowly inching it’s way back up into the red. At least is was a nice, short week last week. And Boss has left me alone.

Oh. Except for yesterday when she popped into my office and asked if I would be interested in sharing one of my projects at a company-wide informational meeting.

Oh sure, there’s no stress involved there!! I would only have to speak in front of about 1,500 people inside the company walls and be broadcast to about 10,000 more out in the field!! Not a problem. I’m nervous about it, but excited at the same time.

The other day, the CEO of my giant corporation mentioned my area in a trade magazine. He has no clue who I am, he just mentioned the great things that were happening. That there are visible results!! I was thrilled, but kind of bummed at the same time. This a way to get my smiling face up there in front of him (well, and in front of thousands of other coworkers, too). I hope I don’t do something uncontrollably stupid.

Have I ever mentioned that I get a mysterious case of Tourette’s (sp?) Syndrome whenever I sing karaoke? Wouldn’t that be lovely? I better get my resume updated just in case!!

My apartment is chilly, and it seems that the only cure for the chill is a hot, steamy shower. Unfortunately, my shower stays hot for about five minutes, and then it runs out of hot water. Wah. That’s what I get for wanting to live in a charming, but old, apartment.

I need to get moving and get ready for work.

I just checked OD-Free (appears that OD+ is on the fritz again) and noticed the note concerning my “alcoholism”. I would address it in this entry, but I don’t feel like it right now. Plus, I don’t have to. I just thought I’d mention it. I may comment at a later date when I have a bit more perspective on the whole situation. I just wanted the noter (if he/she is still reading) that yes, I got the message. Thanks.

Now. Onto other business. The next couple entries are my Saturday night date and then my Sunday night date. Enjoy…
