Hold On To Your Kite//Day 14

Yeah, it's totally normal to be writing a blog post at almost 2 AM. My inzombia (I wish I had come up with that) at this point is so normal I don't know what I'd do without it. I guess it works because I don't have a job, so I can just sleep in until whenever and then do all the things I have to do, so it's not so much insomnia as it is just staying up ridiculously late and being nocturnal. Today, however, I need to stay awake until 2 because it is one of my bff's birthday and since he lives in the freakin Mountain Time Zone (and I am in the ole Eastern), and I have some strange rule that I MUST celebrate people at midnight...here I am.

So in an effort to not buy the shitty Oregon Trail game I found in BlackBerry App World last night, I figured a bit o' blogging would do. I needed a break after my big dilemma last night (changing the design and whatnot), but today was a normal-ish day. Gave out some love and relationship advice (and I sounded super wise and not at all bitter), talked to some friends and had some laughs, and got a job interview for next week. It's nothing super special, but it is a job and money, and it's all I've got at the moment, so it'll do. Hopefully, that whole "when it rains, it pours" adage is true, and I get a ton of interviews soon, but that's ok. I did apply to two jobs at this baller company. It seems like so much fun to work there- the office is awesome, they use Macs, and they all seem like good friends outside of work that go out to bars and do fun stuff together. Just an all around relaxed working environment...one of those dream workplaces. So we shall see what happens with that one.

Today I found out some interesting things about some people I went to high school with. Nothing particularly revolutionary (or that we couldn't have guessed on our own), but...and this will sound terrible...it's nice to know that not everyone is at the tip top of the career ladder and just omgsoimpossiblyhappysmilessmilesshuttheEFFup. Not that I wish anyone harm or failure, but no one likes to feel like the lone loser in a group. It sucks that we are all struggling in some shape or form, but I guess that lends more credence to the theory that life is just kind of sucky right now, and it's not that WE are sucky.

Or I could just be a bitch. Altogether quite possible ;)
