I've decided that, after a week of being away by the beach on vacation, I never want to work again. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be a viable option right now. Work wasn't even that bad for the last few days, but I still hate feeling trapped at my job ( Read more... )

Work has been far too exhausting as of late. Of course, everyone else in my department chooses this week to take their vacations, leaving us very understaffed. I just hope management doesn't bitch about the resulting overtime ( Read more... )

I don't usually post back-to-back days... but today kicked so much ass, I just needed to jot it down on something that took less time than pen and paper, which will come within the next few days, as I need to write a crapload of things in my real journal.

Went into NYC with Jamie and Dean today where we split up and I headed up to the MoMA to meet ( Read more... )

I love the 4th of July... and I have off from work today to watch fireworks... but I'm fairly sure it's going to rain. And that means I'm going to cry about it for a little while, but I'm gung ho about finding some happenings either today or tomorrow to satisfy my yearly need for fireworks. Are the Macy's fireworks rain or shine? Something to think ( Read more... )

And... ok. I'm back at work and it's got its ups and downs. I hate the place and most of the management, but my the majority of my coworkers are cool and some parts of the day are mildly fun. Plus, I'll be getting paid. So hooray for selling my soul to corporate money makers.

Earlier today, I hopped the train into the city to meet up with Mom and my ( Read more... )

I graduated college yesterday. And I still can't really wrap my head around the fact that I'm not going back in August. It's just... weird. Turns out that I love Rosemont more than I thought I did and, even though it's been a frickin' pain in the ass and has a lot of things that are simply ridiculous about it, I lived there for 4 years (minus the ( Read more... )

It's an absolutely lovely day outside. I'm perfectly content lying in my bright bed looking out the window at the pretty view. I do think I'll head out later and buy my mother something for Mother's Day. I'm not going to be able to get home for it, so I feel kind of bad, but I'll make sure we do something for the next time I see her-- my graduation ( Read more... )

It's a beautiful day... and I'm indoors. Mild hangover, lots of stuff to read and highlight, and too many loose ends to tie up before I can graduate. Still gotta have Australian grades transferred here, track down someone who ran up a $120 fee on my library card, and I still need to figure out what to do about getting references from people ( Read more... )

First off and unrelated to the rest of this post: Aries is a popular sign among our friends and, incidentally, this means I've been consuming a fair amount of booze in the past week or so. I'm running out of money and can therefore have no more friends with birthdays until I graduate! But Sarah's bday last night was one of the most awesome times I ( Read more... )
