Hello...Is It Me You're Looking For?

By Ryan J. Schwimmer
***EDIT: Obviously I'm having problems with my new layout. I'll be working on that when I get home from work today. Sorry for the ugliness.***

So today was the big first day back at work. It was as awful as I expected it to be. I was telling Tiffany when she picked me up from work (yes, my car is still being dumb) that I think I realized today that I hate my job. And I know I exaggerate a lot and talk about how much I hate my job, but today I had the realization that I wasn't just joking about it anymore. I was previously at a point where I didn't much enjoy my job, but I still tolerated it and enjoyed aspects of it. Now, though, I just can't stand it at all. With the exception of very few people I can't stand anyone there, when almost anyone tries to talk to me I either completely ignore them or hate every minute they're speaking. Being at work now makes me honestly hate my life for that time. I don't really know what to do about it except look for another job that won't drive me crazy. Or at least possibly won't drive me crazy. So I guess I'll be doing that now. I don't think I'll be looking around endlessly until I find something, I think I'll just look around and wait for something to either jump out at me or find me outright.

Anywho, I spent all day with a Lionel Richie song stuck in my head. It's a horrible, terrible thing. Granted, it was a very cool version of the song by David Cook, but when you're sitting at work or at home all day going "I can see it in your eyes... I can see it in your smile," etc. it makes you a little insane. I also listened to Our Lady Peace for the first time in a long time (for an extended period of time at least, not just one song out of 50 or something). That was kinda cool. In case you don't know me at all, they really used to be one of my favorite bands. I was always listening to them, then they started sucking so I stopped listening even to their good older stuff after a while. But I guess it's been long enough now to where I can really appreciate the good stuff again.

I'm really tired now. I spent something like an hour trying to figure out how to get this template uploaded on my Blogger. My legs are starting to hurt which is when I really know that it's time for bed. Here's hoping tomorrow's better than today. Thanks for reading.

    Yeah...man it sure does sound like you need to be looking for something else! I'll keep my ears/eyes open for stuff. Could josh pull some strings for you at Dell possibly? Check the daily oklahoman? Some ideas.

    I hear you on the hating work. I couldn't make it at my previous job. My new one is okay. Busy and challenging. Makes my day go fast most of the time. If I don't want to be at work, my dad might as well go fast. It's my evenings that I'm not fond of. Nothing to do and they go by really quick.

    Well...hopefully my journal will be up soon?

    hey, i hate my job too. i think that 80 percent of people hate going to work. maybe that is what makes it work. of course if my work was going to concerts and hanging out with my peeps all day i'd love it, but life is not even close to that perfect.

    by the way blake you are pretty and a cutie pie. keep on truckin buddy.

Something to say?
