I feel like I haven’t posted forever, but I don’t think that’s right. I’m time blind. I planned to blog on January 1, but the day got away from me.
First, here are “Tweets I didn’t Tweet.”
This is a Shania Twain kind of morning.
Anyone who says yoga isn’t exercise hasn’t done yoga with Danny Poulpin.
It’s funny. Everyone says they work hard; I want to say you have no idea. Yes, you worked hard, but some people work 3x as hard and have way less than you.
When I see storage rooms, all I can think of is murder. Too many horror books and true crime? Those places look so creepy when no one is there.
What is Morrisey doing in Virginia? He has charisma. But I think he raped his wife.
People are being silly. Do they really think the NYT would publish a Swastika? It’s ridiculous, quickly can happen, and a coincidence. Have they ever heard of a coincidence? The NYT is a business. What would a newspaper paper (THE NEW YORK TIEMS) gain from this? It’s all about the money. An individual might do this, but not a corporation like the NYT. To even comment on this is dumb.
I hate seeing people in court without money. That’s why I don’t watch landlord court. But this man makes 200K a year and will be 4K monthly in the hole if he does what the court wants. He has a better chance of being okay than most people who make $30K. He can get his life and money straight if he keeps his job.
Bitch, give me my money back. You have more than enough. Uh-huh.
You’ll say I’m jealous. No. I see a lot of myself in you. Still do. I never hated you. WTF is wrong with people?
I try to be positive (LOL), but people really do suck.
I think my therapist is either reading this blog (doubtful) or my anonymous Twitter. She brings up hating capitalism, and I don’t remember even bringing that up with her.
Please don’t be this person: Write a long-ass bragging email about something the readers can’t buy. OMG. These are simple social skills. Or I thought. Is this a lack of empathy or a lack of social skills? Probably empathy. People are so strange.
OMG. Why is it so hard for people to put a leash on their dogs? I don’t mind the dog next door being in my yard. But, of course, I wish he wouldn’t use the bathroom in my yard. But the dog is harmless. However, when the neighbor comes into my yard to get his dog, that is annoying. Just put a leash on your dog before he gets hit by a car!!
I had the memory tests with the doctor. I almost typed her name by mistake. LOL. I started this entry yesterday. It’s 11 AM now, and I slept in until about 9 AM. I only do this in the winter. Yesterday, I worked OT voluntarily at my day job for 2 hours.
We are supposed to have required overtime for the rest of the month. And then that’s it! Meaning no more voluntary or required. Do I believe this? NO. They are working on the system so that things will change, but I don’t think it will change by February 1. If so, shame on them for not doing this before. It’s on them. Do they want to pay us for overtime? Nope. So they lost too. I’ll see.
I want to work voluntary overtime occasionally. But I’m okay without that option. So I found three jobs at the company that I qualify for and want. The jobs are in DC, Louisville, Kentucky, and Miami. I know DC well. I know very little about Miami except there is affordable housing, but I don’t know anything about the neighborhood. Kentucky is one of the cheapest states, but they get too much snow. But I have never looked up Louisville. That’s a college town, so that things may be more expensive there.
PLUS, the jobs are not remote. In 2018, these jobs may have been remote so they could find people from all over the United States. I can’t imagine going back into an office full-time. I would have to be near homeless to even TRY. Considering I don’t have much savings, this isn’t unrealistic.
About DC, I can’t live there because the most affordable places are apartments. I need a house (rent or eventually buy). The job pays okay, but more is necessary to rent a home within 30 minutes or an hour.
I never want to work in an office again. I would consider warehouse work. I haven’t done that in years, but warehouses are usually big, and you have more space to work. I would be okay if I had my own office, but at this company, almost NOBODY gets a solo office. Everyone receives a cubicle. The manager gets way more room, and some have fewer people near them, so it is a little quieter. But Nah, I can’t work for this company in person.
Was I talking about the memory testing? How did I start talking about overtime? Life with ADD. ROFL. The memory testing made me so exhausted. My brain was fried. I couldn’t work when I got back home. She also gave me an IQ test. I have an average IQ. I was only considered gifted in Math in elementary school or junior high for a little bit of time. I scored high on those standardized tests, but my IQ is average.
And ugh, I was doing fine on one test until she started moving around in the lobby!! She is the only one who works there. If she has a receptionist, it’s probably part-time. So she and I were the only ones there. She was in the room for most of the tests, but one I had to do on the computer. I was doing great, and then fuck, she started moving around during a more challenging part, and everything fell apart.
She asked me the capital of Italy, and I couldn’t remember!! I wanted to say Capri because I would love to visit that part of Italy, but I knew there was a better answer. LOL.
I think I got Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison confused on one answer. I thought about Edison, but she had already moved on to the next question. She asked about Cleopatra (??) I knew her title. But I never knew she was from Egypt. Am I really supposed to know that? Who cares? No offense. I will get my results at the end of July. She agreed to do it on Zoom, so I don’t have to drive 45 minutes to see her. YAY.
Next week will be busy due to working required overtime, so I’m only going to do what I HAVE to do. I wanted to share more about goals, plans, etc. But I have to go. I will have more time to post here when we don’t have overtime.
Going to go. I’m trying to get into a rest mentality, but when I think about all I have to do, I feel like crap.
This Week I
Music of the week: Shania Twain, Sugarland, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Mariah Carey, The Chicks, The Wreckers, Alana Davis
I’m trying to focus on one business course a month this year, so I’m listening to less music. Plus, I’m also listening to audiobooks too.
TV of the week: Pretty Little Liars, Project Runway, Fleishman is in Trouble
Fleishman is in Trouble is awesome! It’s so relatable, and I don’t have kids, never been married. LOVE this show. I started watching it because I saw Claire Danes in it. If it weren’t for that, I would have never given this show a chance.
Podcasts of the Week: The Vanished, Cold, Pretty Lies & Alibis, Truth & Justice, Pod Save Ameria, Crimelines, Canadian True Crime, Generation Why, Murder & Magnolias, The Gold Digger Podcast
I’m going to try to listen to more business podcasts this year. I hate listening to marketing podcasts, but if someone talks about other things, I’ll give them a chance.
Books of the Week: I’m reading 3 books.
- Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
- Love & Lies: A True Story of Murder in the Suburbs by Chloe Cannon
- The Perfect Family by Robyn Harding
Goals for Next Week: Work on my business less since I have to work overtime. This isn’t a big deal if this is the last required overtime. But I can’t keep delaying my biz for theirs. I am supposed to launch something the first week of February, but I haven’t planned it out because I need REST.
Weekend Plans: Today is Sunday. I have to work for others and then I’m going to do my work. I have roughly planned out January & February, but it’s not detailed enough. I don’t have time! What do I do? Marketing, plan or create? Good question. If I had a better plan, I may know what to do, but it’s also an issue of time. If you have to create something, create it or you will have no need to market! I guess I answered my own question. This isn’t easy.
Have a good week! Thanks for reading.
