Obligatory “I’m Back” Post
Posted by itseizeyou on April 1, 2009
Well hello! What is that you say? Why yes, it has been a long time since I’ve updated my blog. And yes, I was very angry, as you can see in the previous post. I like to think I had somewhat of a good reason to be mad though. As angry as I was, I am still with US Bank, however.
Well, let’s see! It’s now 2009. 2008 proved to be a year of epic fails, and I’m still walking down that path. Why, just this morning I gracefully rose from my queen sized bed to find the house as clean as can be, and a pot of freshly brewed coffee ready to be drank. What happened in reality? I woke up from a vivid dream, rolled off my air mattress over some slippers and possibly a cat; slowly rose to a standing position, wading through piles of clothing to the kitchen where the coffee that was made yesterday was still sitting in the pot, looking at me with those black, glossy eyes, wondering why I hadn’t rinsed it down the sink. Instead of doing what any normal person would do, I looked at the coffee pot, turned around, and went to my computer.
Looking at the time, I realized I was actually up quite early at 8:30am in comparison to my usual 1:00pm. I turned on my computer, listened to it hum a bit and immediately opened twitter to see if I had any new followers or @replies. I didn’t.
I sifted through the tweets, news, and Facebook statuses to find, just like yesterday, that I wasn’t interested in what anyone had to say. I closed my browser, and looked at the World of Warcraft button; positioned so perfectly on my desktop. I thought for a moment that maybe I should clean up my house, take that walk I always wanted (I then looked outside to find gloom and misery. I closed my blinds tighter,) or look around the net to see if any new job prospects had popped up. After these thoughts, I looked back at the World of Warcraft button, and double clicked.
“I can clean later.” “I’ll take that walk tomorrow when it’s not so gloomy and cold out.” “I just looked at jobs last night. There’s nothing new.” And so began my day. One would think I was having a Groundhog Day moment, where the same things happened over and over every day.
The couple things I did do differently, however: I woke up early, drank black coffee (remember? no creamer), and updated my blog. I’m hoping to do two out of the three things on a regular basis. We’ll see!
