My So-Called Life

Tuesday, October 17, 2006

I'm a huge slacker.

I know, I'm sorry. Work has just kept me running in circles this month, and it's not over yet. I'm off to another country on Thursday morning, and I feel like I've lost hold of this thing that's supposed to be my life.

And yet, I like it. (Work, I mean.) I really like my coworkers, we have a great time together. Last week, while we were away at a conference, we sat around drinking wine and talking and I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

And my bosses (including the CEO) as well as my coworkers are so great about recognizing me for the work I've done and appreciating me and making me feel needed. I guess I lost some of that moving here, because I came with no defined place, no parameters, no one depending on me and no real sense of purpose, except to do a good job and hopefully find some friends.

And at this point, I'm doing a good job, and probably getting more work thrown my way because of it. But hey, it's what I got. And Anne says the rule is that the people who show up are the right ones.

Next time I blog I'll do my best to tell you about coming clean to my coworkers about what I'm really looking for in a man and eating at a restaurant owned by an Iron Chef. And maybe about lunch at Bueno. You just never know, kids. Life's an adventure.

This made me laugh out loud. Read the article.
