Morning Bike Ride

I noticed that the gap between those periods where I write a lot is about one week and I believe it is because I’m not using the notebook with any other medium. The in between step using MS word is extremely useful.

It was my nephew’s Birthday. My older brother got married and I broke up with my girlfriend. The whole thing involved a whole complex of events and I don’t think it is necessary to recount the tale. However, it was terrible and work the next morning was incredibly difficult. I believed that the world was falling apart. I went and saw a movie with myself. I watched a lot of movies. The job was incredibly difficult. It seems like I would list out the days or day parts and then fill them in.

I spend a lot of time fretting over using the bike or not because of the ride in the morning. I also came back from a weekend to discover that a couple of my co workers had had a tiff on Saturday and one of my coworkers had been fired. I learned about it while I was arranging to move my desk. However, I got a bonus and this sort of gave me a smile.

In each of these posts I use my notes in conjunction with memory, mementos and souvenirs to create a snap shot of my life. I wrote this on the 26th of May and posted it to the blog on June 13th.

Clubs for Bars

I keep notes and then read them while writing. For instance, I note that I made a mistake with my Clipper card. I pressed the wrong button and then I was carrying two around both of which have value on them.

At the same time, it is obvious that I don’t like my job. My coworkers say I am not in danger of losing it though. This doesn’t stop me from considering the idea of going back to my old job or getting another one. There seems to be a balancing act going on between staffing and deadlines. My bosses obviously wanted more people but couldn’t ramp up production at the same time as scaling up the work force. I pay a lot of attention to interpersonal interactions and my place in the hierarchy. I estimate that I’m not likely to lose my job for about two more months.

I went to Russian Hill with a couple of friends from LA and Orange. Being girls they wanted to go to clubs but settled for bars. I was amazed at how difficult it was to balance work and fun on a Friday night.
