Workaholic much?

July 15, 2007 - Sunday

Working is a serious addiction for many people, myself included. I can't decide why it is. I like money and I like the peace of mind, I guess. But I often say that I wouldn't stop working if I won the lottery. What is that all about?

I have noticed that a lot of people I know are like this. My husband works two jobs (you could say three if you consider poker a job--ha!) and a few of my friends just picked up another job in addition to the one they work at full time. What inspires us to push ourselves to this degree?

Like a Butterfinger commercial

July 3, 2007 - Tuesday

Current mood: chipper

I'm not sure what it was about today, but I felt like a kid about 100 times over. I rode the bus and felt self-concious about where I was going, but in an exciting way--like if it went the wrong way it wouldn't matter because I could figure it out. I walked in the rain without a care. I sped down the bike trail at warp speeds, pushing myself up and down hills with reckless abandon. I smelled fireworks. I watched an 11-year-old girl throw her bats after little league. The neighbor girl and I chased my cats in the dirt. The neighbor boys called to us from across the street.

Now I am beat and I need a bath! Ha! I wonder how often this stuff happens and I don't notice it.

What is appropriate for work?

July 2, 2007 - Monday

Current mood: silly

Hmm...so I have a real "office" job. I am not sure exactly what I can and can't wear. I see so many different interpretations of "business casual." Here is what I know so far:

Open-toed shoes are OK, flip-flops are not.Pants are fine. Jeans OK on Fridays.

Can I wear a sleeveless shirt? I don't know these things! Would a dress code be nice? Probably. As much as I don't like the whole uniform thing, it sure makes things a no-brainer.

The jerk store called...

July 1, 2007 - Sunday

Why are people such jerks? Were they born that way? Did something happen to make them that way? Has their whole life been molding them into that?
