Fifteen minutes after work began, and already I have begun to endure the onslaught of irritating and less-than-intelligent insults: The reason this itinerary said January 30 on it is because I forgot to delete the date. Excuse me? I'm sorry I don't understand Italian. No, I'm not an idiot. Yes I gave the itinerary to him. I'm sure he'll figure out that that isn't the right date. It's not rocket science. No, I didn't check it over before I gave it to him. Yes, next time I will. Please forgive me for my gross oversight.
I'm ready to gouge my eyes out.
I've been reading Becoming a New Yorker lately, which is a cute blog about someone else who moved to New York on a quarter-life crisis whim. So far I've read the first three months, and the tone is all positive and excited and cute, which is probably what mine would be like if I had different ambitions for myself, if working in an office were enough for me, if this job weren't so far beneath my potential that I would rather have a root canal than coming here to get yelled at about the way I print Mapquest directions or staple documents. Note to self: do not rock boat.
Anyway, BNY has inspired me to revisit the concept of brainstorming. Last summer I brainstormed and it led me here to New York. Check it out:
Pretty cool, huh? Some of those things I've already done, which is great! Some are things I don't really care about doing anymore. My life has changed, so the Things I Want To Do brainstorm sheet should change too. So instead of sitting here grumbling about the crazy lady I'm going to do another brainstorm sheet too.
PS. - I applied for a couple of PA jobs this week; I plan to call and follow up today at lunch. Also Salty, my big sister, is flying to New York today to see me! Barring bad weather, her plane is supposed to get in at about 5:15, and I'll meet her in Brooklyn after work! Yay!
