Where’ve You Been?
I’ve discovered that social networking has cut directly into my blogging time; it’s easier to update my life in 140 characters than actually sitting down and creating a well-thought, comprehensive daily essay (shut up, I think a *little* before I write!) Either way, it bothers me that the blog is suffering. I love my blog. Nobody else may, but *I* do.
Also, the adjustment to the new lifestyle (as my X so lovingly puts it) has taken a toll on me as well. I’ve finally recovered from the month of pure hell known as January, caught up the bills that fell behind during my period of unemployment, and settled into a quiet new routine. That’s been the hardest part; I was used to being surrounded by vibrant and creative people (my old staff), and my new job has little interaction with anyone except the occasional high school football coach, and most of those conversations go something like this:
” Is _____ there?”
“No, sir. Can I take a message?”
“Uh. This is mushmouthihavenoideawhathesaid from mushmouthhighschool.”
“I’m sorry, Coach, could you repeat that?”
“Uhn. COACH MushmouthIstillhavenoidea.”
“Um, okay… I’ll have her call you back.”
And then I forget to write down the phone number.
If it weren’t for the clever 140-character quips from my various friends, I’d go absolutely insane. Luckily, the BF breaks up the monotony with his various adventures, and I get a few calls in to the Booger during the day. But overall, my life has become…. well, QUIET.
Funny, when you keep wishing for something… then you get it…
