*****I had this ready to post yesterday but I lost my wi-fi connection. Here it is...a day late but better late than never!*****
I've recently discovered that if I sing my heart out...like American Idol style...on my ride in to work, I arrive in a much better mood. Yesterday was Michael Buble and today was Madonna...I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Unfortunately, my toddler doesn't share this same love of my new hobby...fortunately, she's not the boss. :)
My BFF and I have the most insane conversations on our work IM system. We've often joked about using them as blog posts...and I even saved our last conversation of ridiculous measures...but I'm kind of afraid that people will just think we're more insane than funny. Which might be true...
I've begun to see that once again I'm identifying myself with my job. This isn't good. I must learn to value myself for my talents and who I am instead so that when the job is gone (by choice or not), I won't fall into a pit of despair...which I felt like I did this summer when I was out on disability.
I've begun spending a lot of time at Starbucks for the use of their free wi-fi. I'm still staying with my MIL during the week and can't connect to their internet so really, it's the only way for me to get things done. The problem with this is...I'm not sure how much I'm actually getting done while at Starbucks either. Apparently, I have an affinity for eavesdropping but am not great at multi-tasking while doing so.
Since staying with my MIL, I've taken up watching the news each morning while I have my coffee. Apparently, it no longer depresses me or makes me fear for my life (thank you, Prozac). I have noticed though, that I've begun to really dislike certain people that report the news. It makes me wonder how the hell they got where they are in their career...I mean, I can't be the only person that has developed a sincere dislike for some of these tv personalities, can I? One in particular has me wanting to stick a pencil in my eye and then use said pencil to also burst my eardrums. I'm not talking about local news stations...I'm talking national news programs. But alas, it's not my house, my remote, or my tv...so I'll just suck it up.
I still don't know what I need to do with my job or how to afford to do what I want to do.

You should record your singing and link up with Jules on out of tune tuesday! It is like internet Karaoke!
Staying with people sucks!
Free wifi at Starbucks? Our local charges.
Good luck with the MIL, I could never ever live with mine.

I totally know what you're saying about the news people! Who do they know to get those jobs?
Post your conversations! It'll be fun!
see!!! you have to post our convo's, it will give people insight to your soul LOL
I'm still waiting on your help with Pumpkin's memorial site
I usually just sing very quietly, afraid someone might here me... Maybe I should try your way next time :)
And you should definitely post those conversations!
Drop the pencil and slowly walk away!
There that's better we don't want anyone hurt here.
Identity of self = job that's a big problem when you lose your job. Fortunately I've father a few kids (grandkids now) so the identity with family works out much better than the job route. Of course, in the end it's just yourself really.
