silver linings.

sometimes i do need to look at things thru different eyes.  i think my life is shit at the moment but i know it could be worse and there are many things that are right that outweigh the crap.

things in my life are still in a state of uncertainty.  sorry for not being more specific but i will tell you more about it when it passes and then we can all have a good laugh (or cry) about it.  i have a slightly better outlook on things today mainly because this latest work crisis has kept me distracted and made me think that at least my life isn’t as fucked up this project…ah yes, remember that big project i was working on?  they just changed everything making everything i have worked on to this point useless.  in the meeting they said “well, we’re just changing the colour palette and layout so it’s not that big of a deal.”  argh.  everything i did was based on a prescribed layout and colour palette.  now i have to start all over again.  my deadline?  next tuesday.  nice.  at least i get to pick the colours this time.   and my boss thinks i’m a star for being so flexible and patient (like i have a choice).   perfect timing as it’s time to ask for a raise.  there’s always a bright side… if you look hard enough.

i saw a girl fall down in the middle of the street and her skirt flew up exposing her red granny panties.  at least i’m not that girl.   

the dude from sydney who was using the desk next me to who stored all of his dirty plates on his shelves is finally gone. with the dirty dishes gone, it doesn’t smell like feet anymore. i can finally breathe thru my nose again.

it’s almost friday.  and tomorrow is the annual offsite for everyone.  i dodged it this year, i swooned into my chair and cried “i’m too busy!” and was able to forego going.  the first year was fun.  i got the opportunity to drink with my colleagues who drank a little too much.  then i got the opportunity to see my colleagues in their underwear,  try to breakdance, hit on me, and trying to act cool.  i like them so much better at work.  so anyway,  tomorrow, everyone will be gone and i’ll have the place to myself.  i’ll be able to wear pajamas and make photocopies of my butt (if i were so inclined to do so).  i can eat all the Cheds in the cupboard without getting weird looks.  yes, tomorrow is going to be grand. 

it’s 5.20pm.  the sun just came out.  i’m going to sneak off home soon. 

see,  life is good.

    Avoiding the office day out eh. Good plan – who wants free beer & food anyway.

    Life is never that bad… I don’t have a job, or money, my house is worth about 50% of what I owe on the mortgage… And I’m having a great time… At least I don’t work for that company anymore. I wouldn’t worry about it – according the Myans we’ll all be gone at the end of 2012 anyway – so enjoy life while you can.

    I am so with you here lately. My life is in the crapper right now. And I just want to escape it. I am totally a debbie downer lately :(

    The UP? Taco bell brought back their fully loaded nachos! So I guess things might look better eventually.
