A Year in Review

As I've been sitting here for oh about 5 minutes or so trying to come up with a topic about which to write, I decided I would just write about the one year anniversary of my blog. Has it been a Happy year? I don't know. Thinking that it has only been a year tells me it's been a long year, a very long year. That much I know for sure. I would say for the most part it has been a good year.

I did a lot of traveling. Went to Boise about four times. Drove to Utah several times, too many I care to count. Utah just isn't my favorite state. And I drove home from Idaho, a long journey in of itself. I turned the big 25. That one was hard for me. I don't care to think of myself as an adult, I tend to think when times were simpler and how I wish I could go back sometimes.

I learned that it is possible to keep a fairly updated blog. (I'm counting writing this blog as writing in my journal.) I also learned that you can be best friends with people who share your name. For some reason, I always tended to run from those people in the past. I also learned that keeping in contact is hard, but when you put your mind to it, it pays off. I'm a nerd, but that's a given. That spring and fall are my favorite seasons... I think. That I NEED alone time a majority of the time.

There have been other things that weren't the best of times as well. But for those things I am grateful, somehow, at least I should be. That's what we're supposed to do anyway, right?

Here's to a new year in recording my life how I see it. Cheers

Bored to Death

"Pam: Every so often, Jim dies of boredom. I think today, it was the expense reports that did him in. And uh, our deal is, that it’s up to me to revive him."

Thursday nights have become one of my favorite times of the week, besides "alone-time" of course! The evening starts out with The Office. Whoever is responsible for all the "one-liners" needs an award of some kind. And if the guilds won't award them with one, I'll mail them a gold star or something. They are just plain brilliant! So anyway, I was talking to Rachel last week about how it would be funny since I work in an office environment that it would be funny if I just all of a sudden died of boredom like Jim does every once in a while on the show "The Office". I loved the idea and knew I could do it without anyone see me do it. I took my camera to work on Monday, but didn't have much luck. People didn't go to lunch at their normal times. Tuesday rolls around and I was able to accomplish "mission: bored to death" while everyone was at lunch and I was supposedly working. :) Check it out. It's not all that exciting. I need to put some music to it or something, a project I can do down the road. But enjoy anyway until then.

The Office

It's the end of the week as we know it, and I feel fine! I love the weekends. It is what I live for each week. It is what I patiently and not so patiently work toward. I have been at my current job for about a month now. I can honestly say that I like my job. I work in downtown Kansas City on the second floor of an office building which means I can either take a fun ride on the elevator and oh how I love elevators, or I can be kind to my heart and use the stairs. Stairs it is. No, I really like my job because, let's be honest, who wants to deal with mean people? I don't. I've had my fair share. I don't have to talk to anyone. That phone on my desk actually belongs to the person the the right. I do however have my own cubical, I have my own desk which came pre-equipped with office stuff. Not only do I wear jeans everyday, but I wear my earphones too, all day! It's nothing fancy, but it's my space. The other picture is just showing you more cubicles. If you noticed in the first picture, there is nothing that says that it is mine, but starting tomorrow, I will have put in something that claims someone might just work here. I found an extra calendar!! How exciting is that!? I may just have to take another picture to help me remember the big event! Happy March everyone. Good night and good luck.
