Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Think Thoughts Previously Unthought
****
I wasn't going to write tonight, but it's almost 2am and I
can't sleep, so what else am I going to do?. I think I
need a hiatus from writing. A chance to think thoughts
previously unthought :) I don't feel that my writing has
the same inspiration it used to. I'm not passionate about
it. It feels like drudgery sometimes. I write the same
thing in a different way every day and I'm bored with it.
Maybe I really should take some time off. I'm seriously
considering it...
I had to make a last minute wardrobe decision today. I
tried on the dress I bought (for Snookums) with the plaid
jacket and together it was just too much volume. The dress
has a pleated skirt and the jacket has a baby doll-type
cut. So, paired together I looked round and that's never a
good thing. When I put on the jacket the first thing that
came to mind was a pencil skirt. Fitted, sleek and high-
waisted. My final homecoming outfit is a black pencil
skirt, a sheer top (I'm not sure if I want to just wear a
bra or if I want to put a camisole under it. It's not too
sheer), knee high boots and lace top thigh highs. I'll
straighten my hair and I bought some new make-up. Bare
Escentuals Crowning Gems mineral shadows. Can I just say I
love mineral make-up. I'm a convert.
The past couple of days I've had long nights at work. I
usually get home around 9:30pm, but yesterday I got home
at 10:30pm and tonight I didn't get home until 10:50pm.
Store 747 is going to hell in a hand basket and we have
Tamara to thank for it. Our store manager. When I first
got hired, I looked up to Tamara. She was a good example
of a successful business woman. A working woman, juggling
family and a successful career. But now I don't see her in
the same light. It's not my place to broadcast her
personal problems. I wouldn't want anyone doing that to
me, but it's common knowledge amongst all the employees
that things aren't right in her life and despite being
told upon hiring that personal problems need to be left at
the door and shouldn't affect the work environment, she's
not taking her own advice. Her home life is bleeding into
her work life and the smooth running of the store is
suffering. If she doesn't keep things on track, who will?
I hope things improve soon. I easily stay out of the
adolescent bickering and backstabbing. All the girls like
me, but that doesn't make the place enjoyable when some
one isn't talking to someone else or so-and-so is sleeping
with this girl's boyfriend and so on. If Tamara doesn't
get ahold of things soon, I'll be out of there. I hope it
doesn't come to that.
Okay, it's after 2:30am. I should try again to get some
sleep. Snookums' ship pulls in around 2pm tomorrow
afternoon. He sent me an e-mail tonight saying he thinks
he'll be off the ship by 4pm, so the kids and I are going
to pick him up after Annie gets home from school. I'm so
glad this is over. Almost. Ciao.
