I Love You Man, Black Hawk Down, Panic, A Scanner Darkly, Traitor, an episode of Weeds, Entourage, True Blood, and 3 episodes of the X-Files.....it's Friday, I've only worked 4 days this week and I've watched all of those movies and shows at work so far. The 11 hour days are always long, but this week....this week has been the longest ever.
I'm getting out, breaking free from the vortex. The "Giant" grasp has a hold of me no longer. I've been so much happier the last week, and for good reason. I FINALLY got a new job. 8:30 to 5:30 baby! Just the thought of getting out at a normal time and having weekends off makes me wake up with a smile daily. Although this week has been the longest ever, clearly because I know that these are my final days, there is a great satisfaction in knowing that when I punch out tonight, it will be for the last time.
I'm joining a gym and I'm going to be working out with a friend every night as well as playing basketball and raquetball. I won't have to worry about my schedule changing and missing my basketballs games on Monday nights. I'll be able to go to church on the weekends and go out with friends when they go do things when I used to be working. Ring Ring, "Hey what's up? Oh you're going camping this weekend? I'd love to come" That's what I'll be saying instead of getting pissed about another fun time missed because of my work schedule.
I just couldn't be happier! I'm sitting here at work with a smile. No more frantically rushing to get home from work to start having fun. No more being the last person to a friends house or to meet at the bowling alley. AAAHHHHHH! And that's a relaxing aaahhh like when you take a sip of cold water on a super hot day. I haven't even started the new job yet and I've already been so much happier just knowing that I'll have time for life again. Not to mention I'll be around people at work, no more being alone all day every day. That takes a toll. Sweet deal!
Who knows, maybe when I tell people from now on that I'm, "Living the dream" it won't be a total lie. Alllright giggity giggity goo
