elvendolli think i'm letting the suck take over.
i know whats happening, and i am tired of actively fighting it. i'm just tired. i know this isn't a permanent solution, but i felt like i was hitting my head against the wall before..
so i am taking a break.
and i think i will see if i can go to cali for thanksgiving - its not like anything is going to do me any good...
oh, and work sucked today.
something about telling a customer for 10 minutes he's making a typo in the URL before he admits it. sure, he apologized profusely, but i was the one that was trying to think of different ways to save the same things over for 10 minutes without letting my anger show. and that's not even the worst one of the day!
another customer told me that he doesn't know how i do it, but that my voice sounds reassuring. *maniacal laughter* yeah - and my mom tells me i sound so different (and nice) when i first pick up the phone at work!
oh, and its 10 pm and i'm dead tired. ghost in the shell is on the tube, and i'm too tired to concentrate on it! i've been meaning to see this movie for a long time *stomp*
curling up under blankies with my book sounds good, only i wish it wasn't so damn freezing and that i could get into the book i am reading. with the exception of atlas shrugged, which i kept putting down out of sheer frustrating (during the first half), usually, 1/3 of a way into a book, i can't put it down. this one isn't disinteresting, but its not a grabber. it skips so much between the plotlines there's minimal attachment to the characters, and the switching between dialects stats getting tiring after a bit, even if i can appreciate the literary value.
i keep going back, and trying to figure out what professor n. would say about it. he was my favorite professor in college - most other teachers would teach a class by going through the course materials, pointing things out, guiding us - and for most of them, i have come away with one, two at most, things that struck me and stuck on me. professor n. taught one idea though the course materials - and it wasn't about whats in the books, but about what we see there, how, and why. i've taken two classes with him so far, and if i had the chance (ie, if he taught something i don't have credits for already), i'd bend over backwards to take the class...
(i've decided to end on a positive note)
