Ria, 24. BA in French and Sociology. Businesswoman, but that's not for forever. I live with my cat, Finnegan. Not edge, not scene, not really anything. Just myself, for better or worse. And I have a pretty big thing for this guy.
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -Jack Kerouac
"I excel at not giving a shit." - George Lass, Dead Like Me
How could I think it's funny how
Everything that swore it wouldn't change
Is different now
Just like you
Would always say
We'll make it through
Then my head fell apart
And where were you?

A little less shaky than yesterday. Depression, and anxiety disorder, suck, btw. But my therapist is a rock star and emails me. I applied for another admissions job in KC last night and followed up with the corporate recruitment office today, and he asked me a few questions, and is forwarding my info on, and he asked what general times I'd be available to interview. And Ashley is sending my resume to her boss at the JoCo Museum for an Admin Assistant position. As for the phone tag job, I left another voicemail, and apparently the lady is in the office today. This time I left her one saying basically that I need to know what's going on because I need to get my travel plans down. But said in a much nicer, more professional tone. Even if it ends up falling through for tomorrow I'm going to still take the time off I scheduled from work, because I've been running so high stress lately. So I'll be going in from 7:30-10:30 and leaving for Kansas City sometime after that. I miss Dan.
Workout with the trainer tonight, followed by knitting with my sister. After that, coming home and vegging the fuck out.

I'm seriously fucking done with today. Work is stressful, loads keep falling apart, our computer systems keep fucking up, and I'm bored and pissed off there anyway. I got a call on Monday about a job interview in Kansas City that sounded great but has since turned into a 3-day long game of phone tag. After waiting for them to call with an interview time all day yesterday, my phone fucked up and when I turned it back on, I'd missed a call from them. The voicemail said to call back first thing this morning. I did and it went straight to voicemail. Upon further investigation it turns out she's not even there today, she's out sick, and the best solution was just to leave another voicemail and call back tomorrow. I've requested time off work so I can be down there Friday afternoon when she said she'd prefer to do it. I need a fucking plan, now. I'm not a fan of the whole get the hopes up and then bail thing.
Also, there's a giant u-haul parked lengthwise across all the parking spaces in front of my apartment. That's courtesy. No idea who these new neighbors are but I already don't like them.
If I smoked, I'd be outside probably chain-smoking like crazy. Instead I will keep all the stress bottled up in my chest, probably not eat lunch, and hope the resulting pain in my bad shoulder settles down, which it probably won't, because I'm so fucking stressed that the muscles can't calm down.

Work is sucking the life out of me again. I seriously want to just pass out. I haven't worked out much this week and we're lacking a practice space right now for derby so I haven't skated, which really bums me out. I'd go tomorrow morning, but I have to work at 8. In theory I'll be done at 11 but that has a chance of not happening since its the end of the month. I'm feeling sorta beat down and like the days at work are crawling by so slowly. The weather has been super shitty for days and certainly isn't helping things. I talked about it in therapy this week and the good thing is I can at least see when this stuff happens now instead of just falling into a huge funk where I sleep constantly and eat everything in sight and just sit in my house all the time.
Tonight I'm watching some derby in town and then coming home and probably watching a movie and going to bed, so I can work in the morning. I'm going to start knitting an earflap hat as well which should be interesting. Also, I'm going skating tomorrow dammit, even if its in the afternoon. Need to freakin' skate.
