(Title Here)
My boss is not in the office today, so I have done a little more web surfing than usual. It's actually pretty quiet around here - it being the Friday before a 3-day weekend and all, and I am sure most people will not be working too hard. All I want to do right now is snack, and I need to resist that urge.
I really don't like being anxious about money. I have been using a spreadsheet to crunch the numbers - if apartment A includes utilities but will cost x much more for x, and apartment B doesn't inlcude utilities but has x and x, which one is the better deal for me? Woah, flashback to those fun-filled word problems in algebra class. It's nothing but headaches all around.
The whole "I don't know what I'm doing with my life" thing is starting to get on my nerves. Yes, I said it: I am getting on my own nerves. I keep reminding myself of one of my favorite quotes (by Mary Oliver):
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
I would love to be able to tell people, years from now, that I was sitting in my cubicle on an ordinary Friday morning, performing idle tasks, and generally zoning out, when I had an epipany, a moment of utter clarity. And I realized that this is not where I should be, this is not how I want to spend my life. And I knew in an instant exactly what I should be doing. So I stood up, knocked down a few walls (a la Office Space), and stormed out of the office, instantly embarking on my meaninful journey......
I wonder if they have peanut M&Ms in the vending machine upstairs.
