It's July again. Welcome to my birthday month. You may now begin your mini-celebration of ME.
My uncle is in town because every year he and my dad get together to celebrate their birthdays. July is not just MY birthday month, it's THE birthday month. So, I am sure they are on the run now after pilfering some museums and eating too many appetizers. If you see these guys, plug your ears because they laugh LOUDLY. (video link)
I started my new job two weeks ago and I am kind of reluctant to say this but so far I LOVE IT. It is seriously exactly what I wanted and was looking for, with things to learn, a lot of time to work on my own and a pretty laid back boss who is specific in what he wants and not completely nuts like some of my other recent bosses. It hurts me to say this as a feminist, but if I can help it I will not work for a woman again. What is up with us, ladies? When other women work for us we suddenly become super insecure, competitive and BAT SHIT CRAZY. It also seems impossible for a woman boss to state what she needs clearly and calmly and there is that weird "let's be best friends!" thing that happens with women which is really just fake and ridiculous.
It's like small talk. There is no point. I hate small talk. I don't want to know about your house or where you got that shirt and I don't want to tell you about my boyfriend and my cat. It makes me want to stab my eyes out with a pen. But I digress.
No more woman bosses! Only men! I love men! MEN MEN MEN!
Um. Yeaaaaaah.
This week after going to New York I came back to my job on Tuesday and felt completely and utterly lost. By Wednesday I realized I didn't need to act like I knew everything. No one expects me to know what the hell is going on. After I decided, okay, ask questions! I also became aware of the fact that I seem to have this compulsion to SAY I know more than I do. What the hell is that? Don't say "yes" you know what is going on when you have no clue which way is up. I may need more self awareness because who knew I was a big fat liar!?
Anyway. It's a good job, I love my cube. Once i start getting paid I will really love it because I will be rich! New bags for everyone! I can order any office supply I want and on Friday I ordered a day planner. Now I am super excited to go into work on Monday because it will be there waiting for me. Total dork. I'm excited to go to work! Unprecedented!!
I don't know what to say as an ending so I will just say I am watching American Dreamz on cable and it's pretty funny. Hugh Grant is starting to look a little orange though, he might want to look into some sunblock. You know, if he happens to be surfing blogs on a Sunday morning. He might have had a late night with the hookers...
