screwed......

Sometimes I wonder if everything is a trade. You trade great friends and no man for a man but no friends. Great family but no job for a job that keeps you from your family. A simple life with no success for great success that complicates your life. This "either-or" complex life operates on just doesn't seem good enough. There has got to be a better way, SURELY there is a way to have it all. Right? (sigh)

I actually get annoyed at people who say they can have it all. Showoffs.

darn copier

So I got chewed out by an old lady because I can't properly work the copy machine. "Oh I thought the secretary knew how to use the copy machine," she says. "Can I ask someone who knows for you? I just figured part of your training would be how to use a copier." This is my first office job and the fact that I have lived 25 years without conforming to a life of post it notes, multi-lined phones and COPY MACHINES should be reason for praise. It would be silly of me to think my lack of experience would go without ridicule but.....sigh....whatever. This is what I get for starting my adult work life in radio, absolutely no experience for anything else. Transition times are SO FUN. (sarcasm intended)

I cant do titles. I should get a thesaurus.

My new boss just asked me for a catchy title for his sermon this sunday. "You're a writer," he says, "come up with something catchy for me." He sits there staring at me waiting for me to pop something off the top of my head and when I don't come up with anything in 30 seconds he sends me back to my office with somewhat frustration and dissapointment in his voice. After all I AM A WRITER. This has happened to me before. I mention that I write and people ask me for input and I always freeze up. The thing is, it's easier for me to write about something that Ive been able to brainstorm about for more than a milisecond. And titles have never been my thing, I can hardly title these blog posts. But I guess until I can provide shotgun titles and ideas on a whim for whomever it may concern my credibility is on the line. That's a lot of missed opportunity to be cheated out of. How rediculous.

Im back-ish

So I have been chasing this ambition of being a writer by taking a gig writing about bridal fashion for Examiner.com so what free time I have after finding a day job I have been dedicating to that column and not this blog. I chose Bridal fashion for the website because well.....it's easy for me. Maybe Im still wrapped up in it because I never got a wedding but I like to write and it's something I can pump out articles about so it works. I make practically no money doing it but so it goes when chasing dreams. As for my new day job, at least the hours are good. I keep reminding myself that I am still young and everything now will change....I find comfort in that. I wish everyday we lived in Texas, especially now that it's summer Id give anything for my friends. I don't mesh with military people. I'm ready for the weekend.
