I already know today is going to suck. That's what usually happens when I was okay just yesterday. See every post on this blog. Oh, well! I decided to stop holding my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop anyways.
Funny things I heard lately.
On a sketch comedy show, two women were jogging in the park. One commented on how someone could vote for a woman-hating racist. The other said, well you know how they say to do something everyday that scares you - that was my thing that day.
That made me laugh.
Today we are doing a meme-exchange (as opposed to a gift exchange) that I organized. I'm pretty nervous about that. I don't particularly enjoy social events with people I don't know very well. I don't really enjoy them with people I do know very well. Unexpected outcomes and all.
But I'm so excited that this is our last full week of work before our 12 day shutdown that I can't be bothered with negative feelings in this particular moment.
3 risky things I did.
Remember that year of horrible interview outcomes. Well my first one was the one I thought I was a shoe-in for. You know, they paid $1k to fly me down to California. Well I emailed the hiring manager just now to wish me a happy holiday season and just provide a quick update. The phrase - the best revenge is living well- comes to mind.
And then this weekend, I emailed and audio-called my Racist Friend. Desperation, I tell you. The call ended after about 10 minutes. He didn't call back.
I helped mitigate this by calling my First Cousin. She also had to go after a few minutes to hang out with her family.
My hope for next year is to be able to start anew. Can I stop relying on these friend-adjacents to fill the time. I hope so!
