An Amstel Light on a Thursday Night…
is not a bad thing. I almost bought some wine at the store but I stopped myself because a) I would probably drink the whole bottle (again) and 2) I’m really trying to “tighten my belt” and we already had beer in the fridge..so why spend $1 on wine? A rare case of showing restraint. Very proud of myself.
It’s been a good week. Why? Let me count the ways:
1) I complained to my boss on Monday and he actually talked to some higher ups who promptly thanked me for my hard work and told me they were committed to making things better.
2) Whilst I was miserable at work last week, I applied for a job at a local hospital. They called me for an interview, which is now scheduled for next Friday. I dont’ expect the pay to be great, even though it’s a manager position which woudl technically be a promotion. But it would be closer to home. I’m doubtful I would take it if they offered it to me, but it’s worth a look. At any rate, I am happy that they called me for an interview. The job market is crap here so frankly, I’m flattered.
3) Wednesday’s Latin Dance class had become something I dreaded. I just feel dumb, and white, and lame, and uncoordinated. But last night, I said fuck it, I’m going to have fun. And despite doing “body rolls” and looking like a puritan having an epileptic seizure, I laughed my ass off and had a good time.
4) I’m entering the fun time of year at work. It’s United Way time so we do a lot of “fun raisers” which I love to participate in cuz I’m just a fun loving gal (despite being an uptight prude). PLus, I’m finally (after 2.5 years) getting comfortable there so I can be myself and relax. It takes me a while. Which is also why I probably won’t really be leaving.
5) Oh! I thought of a kick-ass idea for a novel. An apocalyptic comedy. Maybe it’s done before, but I’ll do it better. Has it been done before? I can enver tell if the movies playing in my head are real movies I’ve seen or I just really have a great imagination.
Well, dinner is ready. Arrivaderci!
