I haven't been posting because I've been really unhappy. I hate my new job and wish I hadn't taken it, and I'm just going around feeling uncomfortable all the time. I know compared to most people in the world - the Sudan anyone? Iraq? or even just a few blocks away on housing project hill - that I have things pretty good. I also know part of my discomfort is New Job - itis, and that I may soon feel less awful about the whole thing. I hope so anyway.Other things in the world: the snow and ice we got last week has frozen into a solid layer that I can walk on top of without falling through. The snow makes dog poop very easy to spot, but sometimes hard to pick up because it's frozen down (aren't you glad I shared that?).I had $448 in car repairs done yesterday - this includes an oil change and a new battery that my mechanic suggested, in addition to the other issues. I hope he's honest; I think he is. The car seems to running very well now, not doing that weird revving thing it was doing before.I have been needing / wanting a new, more spacious desk for a while, and we went and bought one at Ikea on Saturday. We also got a desk chair and a floor lamp. Everything, except for the lamp, is still in boxes and needs to be assembled. I'm calling and paying someone to do it because I've heard too many jokes about people who try to assemble Ikea furniture themselves. The lamp I assembled myself, but I don't like the light it gives. Sweetie likes it well enough, but says we can bring it back if I want to.The basement of my mom and sister's condo got flooded partially because their parking area didn't get plowed. My sister lives in basement and has had to have the carpet ripped up and the floor redone, all on her own dime. I think the person who was responsible for plowing should contribute (he's the condo association president), but for whatever reason he's not. I was upset for her and told her she should make him pay for it or at least yell at him. But then I realized it's none of my business and I called her back before class on Saturday to say I hope I hadn't made her feel bad because it's really not my business.I guess that about sums it up.Labels: family, the blues, winter posted by Miss Rachel 2/20/2007 06:44:00 AM . . .
