Only two more days left this week. Now I just have to figure out how I got talked into doing OT on Friday. I'm such an idiot. I am so burnt out at work so what do I do? I sign up for more. It just gets hard, the abuse. Everyone gets all worked up when a customer is treated poorly but I get cursed out at least once a week. I have customers hang up on me, treat me like scum, call me names, accuse me of doing horrible things and I am supposed to just ignore it? To be honest, for the most part I can, but sometimes it does get me a bit down. If you are always told you are worthless, useless, stupid, and a nobody, at some point it is hard to remember its not true.
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know!
How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
-Emily Dickinson
I'll be okay, I just need to shake it off.
Its been a long day
San Diego Zoo
Well, I am going to finish getting my act together. I am headed up to Madison with GB to visit her sister. I am going to take a walk down to this little bakery near the hospital that has these AMAZING cookies. I know, it sorta defeats the purpose of a walk but YUM. (http://www.lanesbakeryandgifts.com/)
Ya know what we need here in the midwest?
More rain!!!
These pics came to me via my mom, who got them from her mom, who got them from her sister in law... this is up in Richland Center Wisconsin, which is west of Madison, WI. My grandma grew up there. And so the weather forecast for tomorrow? More rain. We got more rain after these were taken as well.
So yeah... thoughts on Food
I am going through these weird eating phases. I was going through a risotto phase, thats pretty much done with now. Now its Italian. Gnocchi, Fettuccini, Cannoli, chicken tetrazzini. I miss Paradiso Perduto. That was a good restaurant. It closed and a Mexican place moved in. Yeah, not even close. Imagine the best thing you have ever eaten, this was 10,000 times better. I really want some good italian. Ooh, or some sweet potato polenta, from Heaven on Seven. They used to have a location right near my brother which would be handy but now its all out of the way. Ugh. There isn't anyplace good to eat around here anymore. Okay, I take that back. I can satisfy my sushi craving with a twenty. There is a fabu little French place not too far away that has a great Tuesday night dinner deal. But by in large, most of the places around here are giant chain places: your TGi-Applebee-Chilis places that all taste the same.
Came home today
I got a happy surprise today. I came home from work, after stopping at the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner, to an extra car in the driveway. My big bro came home to help in the flooded basement!! Howe nice was that? I have the best big bro.
