Work.
Well, it's offical: the novelty of my new job has offically Worn Off. I'm to the point where most of my day is spent doing activities I have done multiple times and the only surprises that arise tend are more of the "pain in my ass" variety rather than "new and exciting". At least at the new job, there are possibilities to move toward another direction, career-wise, so even though now I'm stuck with boring business tasks (why in the world are they having me - who cannot hold more than two numbers in my head at the same time - in charge of the Accounts Receivable is beyond me), at least I can imagine doing something else.
Of course, that would involve actually taking the effort to try something new. One of the writers suggested that I ask the editor about writing an article or two, which was both flattering and terrifying. Deep down I'm sure I could do it, but that smidge of confidence is covered by layer upon layer of doubt. I don't even know what I would write about, let alone how to write for a newspaper, and I'm sure if I did submit something it would just look ridiculous and juvenile amongst the others' works.
I have managed to make a new friend at work, which is awesome. Like, a friend I actually want to hang out with. I almost forgot what it was like to hang out with someone without having to fight the urge to punch them in the throat. (God, I'm a horrible person....but it's true. Horribly, horribly true.) So, that's nice.
Also, I found a new crush-boy, which is nice and frustrating, all rolled into one. He's cute and a photographer and I have yet to actually have a conversation with him because, well, I'm a dork. But you knew that already.
