This sort of thing drives me mad. To give you a brief description of what I mean, I’m talking about the practice of society in which we declare “They’re not a mailman, they’re a postal worker!“

Today, I finally joined you.
We have met at last.
I am amazed with your profile.

I am happy and ecstatic.
I am motivated to give my 100% effort in order for you to appraise me with a good performance.
I know I’ll have a lot to learn from you.
I’ll see you again tomorrow.
Before I go, I am going to introduce you to my new boyfriend. (Boyfriend, because work is as demanding as the real boyfriend). I posted his face here for you to be more familiarized since at first, even I don’t know much about it:

Okay, before you get all bummed out over this week’s Dustinland, let me just say that I’m not in the midst of some deep depression or anything. This is just something I think about sometimes. You know, usually I try (try being the key word here) to make my comics funny, but once in a while I like to touch on something more serious. I know the depressing stuff is not quite as “entertaining,” but hopefully it touches on something you can relate to.
In terms of this week’s comic, I think what I’m really getting at here is that while it’s very hard to define success, there is some sort of notion we all have of an average life and an extraordinary one, and nobody wants to wind up in that first category. Of course what is considered average in a country like the US would be a fantastic life to a majority of people around the world, or throughout the history of mankind, at least in terms of financial security and quality of life. But somehow that doesn’t necessarily translate to happiness because it’s all relative to what you know, blah blah etc… let’s not get into that boring discussion. Boy this topic really leads to rambling.
I guess I’m not really sure what I’m trying to say here. Maybe I already said it as simply as I could and too many words just complicates it. Maybe it’s just that we all want to be somebody, and the older you get, the more you realize how hard that can be, and how little time you have to do it.
Well, during work I always sit in front of a laptop, so once I’m home I’m actually almost fed up with computers for the rest of the day (or night) and additionally I have to work on all the christmas presents for friends and family. Sorry but I can’t post pictures here, because some of them read this blog and it would suck for them to see what they get
The rest of my life is pretty quiet… OH!!!! There is some good news I need to tell you just for nothing my body decided to loose 6 pounds. I’m still eating chocolate, having my extreme-couching sundays… Seriously, I don’t know what happens, but it feels really good I just hope I won’t gain it all again once all the christmas cookies magically appear in front of my nose LOL
So, how’s your life been the last few days/ weeks??
Come to speak of work: there is soooo incredibly much to do, that “co-workers” (remember, I’m just an intern) work many many additional hours, sometimes way too many. In my opinion one solution would be to work more efficiently (seriously!!! I don’t want to give out too many details, but there is definitely a huge potential!) buuuut maybe that makes room for me First experiences in project management there and then moving on to the real good jobs? would be awesome, so keep your fingers crossed in your mind for me please, it means the world to me )))
You come to us and tells us not to do this and not to do that. Yet you’re there in your fat ass sleeping like a baby. You look like a fat bulldog there. Sleeping, shoes off, is there anything else I could get you? Plus you leave your office open, it’s not like you leave your door was closed and I walked in. You have holes in your socks!!
You smell bad, you look sleepy and yet you complain when I wear my tie loose. Wish I took a picture you bastard. Must be nice when someone like me does all the hard work and takes all the bull shit when it’s bad and no recognition with things are going great. You bastard!! You should’ve been fired on your first week.
So the rules are:
No Cell Phones
No Homework
No MP3 Players
No Books
No Personal Things
Yet sleeping is prohibited? You’d come and tell me to stand up and not sit down. But you just sit there and sleep.
So yeah, a few things has been happening since I’ve been home, I’ll get to it eventually. Anyways, when I came home on Tuesday, my friend Nicole and I hung out for a bit. We watched Monsters Inc. and painted our nails and stuff.
Then Wednesday, I went to Lord and Taylor for a job interview and well I got the job^^. And when I was there, there was this really cute guy that worked there last year and was hoping he would get a job there again, I kind of hope he did, but it sort of seems he already has a couple of girls he had his eye on, so yeah, that’s my luck for you. Then after that I don’t really remember what happened. I think I took an epic nap and then my mom and I went to the store. And after that I watched Tough Love, some good stuff especially from a psych stand point. Hmm I should go on that show, I’d be Ms. Lonely, ha, and I made pumpkin gingerbread and dinner rolls for Thanksgiving.
Moving along, Thursday was obviously Thanksgiving. The pumpkin gingerbread and dinner rolls were a hit! For anyone who actually is reading this, here’s the recipes I used:
But anyways, my niece is almost as tall as me, she’s not even 4 years old and she’s like about up to my chest. It’s crazy, lol. So my sister has been applying to grad schools, mostly in California, and my mom said if she’s going to California, then we are. I wasn’t sure if she was serious or not. But imaging starting a new life in California, hmm. I wouldn’t mind it so much, but there’s definitely a few things I do want to work on before venturing out to California. Also to my shock my sister said she wants to learn what I’m learning, and I was just like O.O I don’t think I ever heard my sister said that to me, mean yeah psychology can be very interesting, but yeah. I’m usually the one saying that to her. Well moving along, my friend Britney had some news, big epic news that she is pregnant..and she asked me if she were to keep the baby if I would be an auntie, and I almost started to cry and felt honored and I wish she was telling me in person so I could have hugged her. It would be nice to be an aunt to 3 little ones, my neice, my soon to be niece or nephew, Lori is pregnant, and the baby is due in July, and Britney’s baby. ^^
Anyways, this leads me to today. Today was training day at Lord and Taylor and I was so nervous. Amy, the manager, said on Wednesday, that it’s going to be a crash course and they’re just putting me there. and if I have any questions, that they’ll be people around to help me. But, I guess she just said that to prepare me or something. Means, its Black Friday, that will be crazy if she did that, you know? Mean it would sort of slow things down, which is bad on a day like Black Friday. So today wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be. I could have stayed until one, but I wasn’t wearing the most comfortable shoes and we were allowed to leave right after the training orientation, so yeah probably a bad move on my part, but I should have brought my comfortable shoes back home, and we can’t wear sneakers, since its basically white glove kind of service. But the other people at the training orientation were nice, and we all seemed to get along.
After that my mom and I went to Costco to do some shopping, and it was a mad house in there. I couldn’t wait to get out of there, at least I didn’t need a lot of things.
Today has been cold, rainy, and windy, a perfect day for staying indoors, which is what I basically did when I came home. So since then, I’ve been drinking tea and watching the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, a really good anime.
Lately, I have been having a more sudden interest in asian culture, eating habits to be more exact. It just seems to be much more healthier, in fact I remember watching a video where this lady was comparing the American diet to the Japanese diet, and how much more healthier the Japanese diet was, and it quite obvious why too.
Eliza and I are talking about eating more healthier once we get back, which is the smart thing to do. The health habits you form in college are usually the ones that you stick with for the rest of the majority of your life. And we’re going to post things on our walls to help motivate us too. And also do more yoga and exercising.
And why I just realized how long this is getting, and I still have a couple of other things I want to write about.
So yesterday I had this weird, strange, empty eerie feeling when I got home. Thats the best I could explain it, it just happens at random, and I can’t explain why it happens, it just does.
And all of the sudden, well so far today really, I was really nervous to talk to Josh, I don’t know why. Mean usually before, when I liked a guy and I was about to IM them I would get really nervous, and panicky . But with him that never happens, except for today I guess, I don’t know it just seemed weird.
Hmm also I want to start writing more short stories. I think it would help with my writing. But I’m not in the mood right now, and I’m so bored, and the disappearance of haruhi suzumiya isn’t dubbed, so I’m just reading the whole time.
Ehh, well thats all for now. Not much to say now.
Hmm, maybe he just isn’t there. It’s been awhile and he hasn’t said anything yet. Eh oh well.
This sort of thing drives me mad. To give you a brief description of what I mean, I’m talking about the practice of society in which we declare “They’re not a mailman, they’re a postal worker!“
