Where the Hell Have I Been?
Good question. As a quick status-check, I'll just tell you that mid-year review is quickly approaching, and I'm making a valiant attempt to dig myself out of the hole I'm in, and establish some sort of momentum before I get shitcanned. Emphasis "attempt." This job is often like running in mud. You either fall down or get stuck.
Like most things in my life, I feel like I am going nowhere at breakneck speed. Breakneck speed--there's a term that I need to use more often. Anyway, I'll just say that I know how Chris Duffy feels, but I'm pushing through nonetheless. Don't get me wrong-- I'm pretty sure I love my job, but it's in a masochistic kind of way. Fighting against billable hours is most certainly the most difficult thing I've ever done. Be certain, my friends, that nothing is better in a job than knowing that if you put in 40 hours at the office, you get credit for 40 hours at the office. Such is not the case in my inefficient, oft overwhelmed life. But 'dems the breaks. Sooner or later, apparently, everything "clicks" and you learn how to take it to another level. By God we can only hope.
In the meantime, I'll try to get that "48 things" done sometime this weekend. And maybe even blog about Kup's bachelor party/impending nuptials. Then again, I'm working all weekend, so don't hold your breath.
Quick thought: buy the new Snow Patrol album. C'est bon. The songs are haunting, diverse, occasionally bombastic, and occasionally epically sorrowful. Interesting. And Good.
Finally, this week really started to wear on me somewhere around 6:48pm yesterday. However, I owe much thanks to three of my Bethanian gals, Nicole, Swann, and Mindy, the Apple of My Eye, for an unexpectedly pleasant evening. It was nothing more than the eye of the storm, calm, if not fleeting. However, it was just the repose i needed in a week that has become increasingly, and dare i say it, unnecessarily tumultuous. So there's that.
One last thing-- I've been thinking about starting a series I'd like to call, "It's awfully lonely in the center of the universe." What do you think of the title? Someday perhaps I'll get around to writing it. It's time to start taking stock of this interesting existence as a single guy surrounded by a living, breathing, cornucopia of interesting, diverse peoples. And Bromberg (who's moving to the PGH next month!)
Until next time, bon soire.

PS: CONGRATS TO BUFF FOR FINALLY GETTING INTO MED SCHOOL!!! DOCTOR BUFF!! WOOT!
PPS: If you didn't get the Chris Duffy reference, just ask me to explain. I'll dive into detail soon.
