Ames, IA- Hell Yeah! 2003-05-06::11:14 a.m. God, so I am really bad at updating this shit. Well, just add that to the ever growing list of things I am really bad at. I have so many things to do today! Why, oh why, did I let myself sleep in to eleven then this morning? Why am I wasting time writing here? Well, my pretties, at least I can answer the latter question- because tomorrow I am leaving on a jet plane. Where am I going? Nowhere too exciting- just Ames, Iowa for business. I know what you're thinking, since when did you get an MBA and some cushy job where they fly you around the country for work? Again, don't get excited, it's Borders related. I'll be in Ames for three weeks helping prep a new store. So, basically I'll be working 1,000 hours a day, unpacking boxes, sorting and shelving books, and helping to train the new employees. Sounds kinda cool, huh? So why did they want to send me? Beats the hell out of me, supposedly I am some kind of hardworker or something. Despite the fact that I loathe my job, I am excited to go. It'll be a nice fat paycheck, and a lovely break from my store and customers. However, I am also scared shitless, something about me being a perfectionist or something. I'm all worried that I don't know my shit as well as I think I do, and that I will be the worst trainer in Borders history. Ugh, wish me luck. Have I told ya, have I told ya? In July sometime I'll be moving back to my beloved Michigan where I will be a 23 year old freshman at LTU (seriously I am going to need 124 more credits to graduate, never mind the 90+ under my belt from WSU)! I am so excited and happy about the whole situation. Of course I am going to miss Chicago, and the friends I have made here, but it is killing me living so far away from my family right now. What can I say? I am a fucking bitch baby. Anyway, I digress. I am excited to be close again to my family, but the real asskicker is that I am going to be a real architect someday! You should have seen me at the fucking open house I just went to, all holding back tears because I was so happy. I really felt like I belonged there. So nevermind that I will be 35 before I finish school, and up to my ass in student loan debts. It'll all be worth it when I am a hot shot architect, with my picture on the cover of Time magazine, not unlike Ben Hanscomb. Anyway, I should be going now. I still have lunch to eat, a post office to visit, laundry to do, and packing to get done. I'll be taking my baby to Ames with me, but I don't know how much free time I'll have, so I may not update for another month, so everyone have a great May! |
