On the bright side, because of moofy conditions at work, I got to work in our other office on Friday with Kel, my beloved cousin, who took care of me. It was so nice to be with another human at work:) I spend my days in the Arcadia office alone for the most part, and the people I do come in contact with are not always the edifying type. It can be very glum. This week I may be working at the other office again, and I'm actually looking forward to it.
I felt obligated to take advantage of this "long weekend" and be productive, so Saturday I figured I could mostly sit still on my floor with no more discomfort than I was already in and organize some of my stuff and get rid of The Box I keep promising my roommate will be gone someday. And guess what! It's gone! Yay, me:) I feel better when things aren't so cluttered. However, I am one of those people that likes just a teensy bit of purposeful clutter to feel homey and cozy. You know, like all the junk on my shelves I save, etc.
Sunday we had our OCMC fundraiser, a burger cookout. We had a lot of help and I was so appreciative. I felt like I didn't do enough! Sophie is magnificent and basically took charge, and everyone was so eager to be helpful. It was wonderful. We made a decent profit which will be a big help to those who will be going on trips next year. I cannot wait for the list to come out. It's almost like waiting for a casting list to be posted for a play. Or more so, a call-back list--because you're still not sure how it's gonna pan out. It's also a little nerve-wracking because if they have a trip you have your heart set on that you are unable to go on, it's so sad! But in the end, God knows.
I took today off of work because Mondays are long and labor-intensive. I have had a few Mondays in which I wasn't well, and was miserable. I just couldn't do that again. I know it sucks for them to not have me in, but it's just coffee. I feel so committed to work sometimes, and I work so hard, but it's really not worth it. I don't get paid enough to be that stressed putting work over myself. It's a ME day! Which, as an Orthodox Christian on the 1st day of Advent, I feel a bit guilty doing. (not to mention I'm trying to finish off some of my meat and dairy that I couldn't eat this weekend. Don't judge me!) I just have to follow through and go full throttle once I'm recovered. In fact, I need to make myself read my homework once I finish this post, instead of reading design blogs about beauty. That's been my kick lately. They remind me of life's beauty, especially when I'm in the glum office, but I need to remember blogs aren't more beautiful than the real thing!
One last thing. We watched Toy Story 3 yesterday, and it was beautiful. Don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I'll just say: I really liked it! I lovely way to end a painful/lovely/exhausting/productive weekend.
