things are happening!

I got offered an interview! But scheduling the damn thing has been difficult since I'm out of town for the next two weeks. Fuuuck.

And then there's the small, somewhat unexpected issue of feeling guilty for potentially leaving the office in figurative shambles since one coworker has already decided to resign (and the other soon to follow). Having a conscience is really inconvenient.

On the bright side, I get to see J soon. Sooo excited!

dodged a bullet

Meeting up with The Woman today reaffirmed my belief that cutting him loose was one of the best decisions I've ever made. (And choosing to date him was one of the worst, clearly.)

Still condescending, still critical, still selfish.

It's funny that at one point in my life, he was actually someone special to me. After the breakup, it felt like that part of my life never even existed. Now we're suddenly on speaking terms again and I can't remember whether he was like this before or if his personality's just taken a turn for the worse during the years that have elapsed.

you can't make this up

Just when I think the demands of my job could not get any more ridiculous, a gigantic steaming pile gets dropped on us.

According to Boss,

• we will have to travel 6,000 miles for work
• our related travel and housing expenses may not be covered by the company, and
• we will also be working for free.

I waited to hear just ONE redeeming feature of this business trip, but it never came. All I got was, "It'll be a great experience," which I'm sorry to say is not very convincing.

At this rate, my resignation letter practically writes itself. Now it's just a matter of when I should submit it...

unexpected

The Woman of yore has recently gotten back in touch with me.

What is the meaning of this?

optimistic

Changes are coming.


It's been too long since I've gone back.

Summer is slowly inching its way back to southern California.

I've taken the first step towards breaking away from the Prison, otherwise known as my office.

Best of all, J will be here to visit soon.


I can't wait to see this view again.

Things are looking bright.
