fitting out

so I’ve been at my new job long enough to be almost close to qualifying for health insurance and I finally don’t feel like a loser here. Starting any job always sucks and this move has been particullarly hard on me for some reason — I blame the excessive snow and the lack of furniture.

Now, almost three months in, I’m no veteran, but a woman at work DID ask little oh me a question today AND i knew the answer, so I’m thinking I’m making progress. Also, if you needed me to show you where the vending machines are, I’d be all over that. I’m also excited that when there’s a fire (or a police stand-off, or a girls basektball game), I no longer hardly ever have to use my phone navigator to find it anymore.  

OH!, AND people are starting to laugh at some of my jokes! I’m thinking that’s a good sign, seeing as how I’m so funny and all. I’m still worried nobody here thinks I’m cool, but I’m thinking this whole blog thing has made me cooler.

I’m hopeful that one day everyone at this job will either think I’m super awesome or leave. 😉

I would have thought I was too young for this!

I think I have a gray hair. Except I can’t really tell, becuase it could be a random blonde highlight gone bad (or at least that’s what I’m hoping it is….) and I’ve started going through everything in my life that might be causing me enough stress that my body decided it was somehow wasting resources to give my hair, oh, um color! and yes, I’ve been dying it since I was 14, but what if one day I decide I DO want my natural hair color back, and I stop dying it and it all comes in GRAY.

I mean wtf? I’m only 24. And yes, I had a rough childhood, but I know A LOT of people who had rough childhoods whose bodies didn’t just give up the hair color producing function when they hit their mid 20s.

And everyone who’s old keeps telling me I should be happy to be the ripe young age of 24. but HELLO, umm, I think my gray hair clearly shouts that I am, in fact, old! And now I’m all stressed out about that. But don’t tell my body, because I’d like to keep the rest of my hair a nice dirty blonde.

p.s. I would have put up a picture of said ‘gray hair,’ but I couldn’t figure out how to take one where the hairs weren’t blurry.

So even though I eat at Taco Bell like every day once a week and I never exercise because I’m lazy it’s too cold outside and I consider chocolate a food group, I really do have this random goal of being healthy. And yes, I once worked out hard core at 5:30 a.m. every day and I never ate anything but lean cuisines and I never drank anything but water and I lost weight, BUT i don’t think I was really healthy at that point in my life — i was more just dehydrated.

So I’m trying to take smaller steps to get on back on the healthy wagon — and everyone keeps telling me that one of the best things I can do is cut out soda from my diet. So, because I’m American, I decided I would do this by making it my New Year’s Resolution — and then a week later I failed. But I still have these fantasies of giving up the dang soft drink — I just can’t do it. I LOVE it way too much. I mean I really love it. and I really think that overall I’m much happier if I can have AT LEAST one Coke a day, because every day at around 3 p.m. (or what I like to call “desperatly wishing I could take a nap” time) I feel like falling asleep and i just CANNOT drink coffee that doesn’t cost at least $4 a cup, so I spend 70 cents on a can of Coke from the break room. And i try to pretend the the calories I burn going down to the vending machine on the second floor and then carrying the coke back up to my desk on the third floor is at least about as many as are in the can of coke — but I’m too smart to fall for my own lies. 

I’m thinking cigarettes might be healthier, and from what I understand people who are addicted to nicotine are WAY cooler than people addicted to soda — at least that’s the message I think I was supposed to take away from Sex and the City. 

So, in conclusion, I’ve officially changed my new year’s resolution — I vow to START smoking….(I’m sure I’ll fail in like a week though.)
