Bye 2010, it was a pleasure to know you. You’ve treated me well and made up for your very lame friend, 2009.
Hello 2011, you’re an odd-numbered year so already we’re starting off on a bad foot, but I’ll be mature and give you a shot hoping you’ll prove my prejudice wrong. But as a warning, you better be kind or I’ll kick your ass.
People who don’t say sorry/thank you,
People who stiff tips for no reason,
People who think it’s okay to walk into you, then look at you like you’re at fault,
People who push through crowds because they’re too good to wait like the rest of us…
Why do you still exist? Where’s this “natural selection” I heard so much about? Work your mojo, Darwin.
physical manifestations of stress/anxiety:
- vomiting
- piercing stomach pains (which i’ve self-diagnosed as possible ulcer)
- headache
can’t figure out which cliche i should follow: “quitters never win” or “life is too short to be miserable” — asdlfkjasdfasd;fj is the only thing i can muster up at this point.
Well kinda.
See, there’s a giant creeper who sometimes gets on the same bus as I do. And he always has to sit next to me, even when there are empty rows. And some time last year, he crossed the line by trying to hold my hand, not once, but twice! Um, sir, NOT OKAY.
So now I’m trying to keep occupied so I don’t just sit here quietly as prey for his pedophilic ass.*
He’s married (detective work revealed wedding band) and just has that general look of a perv. If he ever guest-stars on SVU, he would be the guilty one. And I hope benson & stabler totally beat him up.
Anyway, I’ve also discovered recently that he works close to my office because I’ve seen him in the Duane Reade next door multiple times. Either that or he’s a giant stalker too. Actually, I would not put that past him. He just has that look about him - the one that says “hey I like to hold your hand on buses & follow you to your office duane reade & maybe murder you.”
AND he’s clearly not opposed to cheating! Murderer and adulterer, what a scumbag.
Suffice it to say NJ Transit is not a primo choice for me to find a love connection. World is sending me some winners right now.
Sigh.
*okay I know I’m over 18, but I’m probably not wrong about his deviant tendencies anyway.
Just made a pseudo budget & it is beyond bleak. Will I be able to move into city at current salary/student loan debt? I know the answer already & I don’t like it.
Also just wanted to give a shout-out to the following:
- NJ Transit for increasing fares 25%
- Me for losing my bus pass (so I need to buy another one for rest of April)
- Hoboken for breaking my car (but really me bc I wedged my car into a corner wall, resulting in a seriously dented & heavily scratched car door)
Well 2010, we had a nice run. 4 months isn’t too shabby. Just try not to completely beat me down in the next 8 months, k?
since i can’t get away to paris anytime soon, i’ve been toying with the idea of taking continuing education classes after work.
basic accounting? why not?!
food studies? OKAY!
i really miss math and want to do something there (don’t ask) — my left brain needs some stimulation.
with rebecca’s encouragement, i think i’m going to register for classes at the new school.
YAY FOR NEW PROJECTS!
