I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND ABOUT WHAT KIND OF THIS DAY IS

So my coworkers ordered Chinese food for the whole group of them without asking me if I wanted anything. I tried not to be too irritated about it, but it was at that very moment that I realized just how hungry I was and the more I heard her list off the food over the phone, the more Chinese food sounded delicious. Then I decided I might be able to go find some decent food around here today, so I started to leave only to find that it's still pouring rain and the idea of getting soaked while crossing the parking lot to get to my car sounds worse than going hungry. Or not. I don't know. I'm munching on celery and peanut butter and I already ate an entire container of raspberries. We're not really supposed to eat food at our desks but my supervisor said we're allowed to snack, so hopefully I won't get in trouble for the monstrous crunch that erupts everytime I bite down on a celery stick. I'm sure anyone within 30 feet can hear it.

Nothing sucks more than having a lunch break with absolutely nothing to do. There is nothing to look at on the internet (or at least, not comfortably since my computer faces all the office traffic--you know that awkwardness when you feel like everyone sees what you're doing, even though you're not doing anything weird). I have nothing to read. No word puzzles to work on. Nothing. I figured I could at least whine about all of this in a blog entry, which is kind of sad...but it's a sad day outside.

:(

Sad.

But it was lovely this morning. I left for work at SIX AM. I realized halfway here that I needed to slow down or I'd be half an hour early, which would suck (and I was aiming for 7, so being early would be 6:30). But the sky was hazy and the sun wasn't up yet, and a misty rain was coming down. It was really hard to see but a nice change of pace. I love having a real job, it's the only way I can enjoy mornings. Working mornings at Starbucks was basically servitude to the people with real jobs. Now I can get up, have something good for breakfast, make some tea for the road, and listen to something good on the way to work. And somehow the time flies when I'm doing this filing. And my dream today? Get out of here by 3:30 and get my oil changed. And then go to World Market, which I've been trying to do for three days now. I'm pumped! I'm going to buy some exotic food stuffs and just enjoy looking around. It's a nice, rainy day for browsing.
