• Fears of weirdness at work last week (as related to the funeral) were mostly unfounded. A trip to the mall reminds me that I could have it way worse. The normal weirdness abounded.
• Having said that, I am growing more and more anxious about the job search. I continue to look and am having a hard time finding jobs (or even a job…I only need one!) that I’m interested in that are objectively better than where I am. Subjective improvement, of course, is a completely separate issue.
• And having said that, I have a new suit that needs just minor alterations before it’s interview ready. It’s strange to prep for an interview I don’t have. I need out. I just really need out.
• My least favorite part of today? Getting a call from my boss, chastising me about an hour and a half of overtime worked last week. During the busiest time of our year. Whatever, dude. Forty hours it is. The way that our salaries are structured, any hours that I work after the first forty are actually cheaper for the company. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat hard and makes me want to throw up a little.
• I just finished Numbers. I didn’t know there was a talking donkey at the end! All I could think of was Shrek and so I heard the donkey’s voice as Eddie Murphy doing Donkey. Still, so good.
