| 9:13a | hurray for me! Yesterday was good...as far as fitness and food went. The rest of the day, as I previously posted, sucked. I did drag Bill and D to the gym, kicking and screaming. The thing was, I knew if we didn't go yesterday, they'd go today, and I wouldn't have been able to because of class, and then I would have been piiissssed. So we went. Nothing too impressive, but I did do 35 mins on the elliptical at blazing speed, so at least I burned some cals. The guys didn't feel like staying, so no weights. I made up for that this morning though to a degree...even though I was super tired..(for some reason I just kept waking up in the middle of the night.) I woke up early enough to do Core Secrets Give Me 20. I felt like I had to do a bit extra since I know I'll be gone all weekend and won't have much of a chance to work out. I'm digging the morning workout thing. I don't know how much a 20 minute dvd really does, but I figure it has to be better than nothing, which is what I would have done if I didn't work out this am. Right? I can't believe I have class today. *whines* I have to do a bunch of the homework at work today. Bleeeeh. That being said, it's time for a quick shower and some breakfast before heading in to work.. I just want my period to come so I can feel like a human again. Ugh.

| 11:21a | decisions Ugh. So my main boss called me in this morning, and what I've been afraid of is indeed happening. Gov Ops, the large committee that I work on, is now going to have a dedicated Committee Assistant, and Consumers and Vets will have a dedicated Committee Assistant. Currently, I do all of them. Gov Ops is the bigger committee, and it's far more work. The analyst for the committee, Cheryl (the one who's always making me do annoying spreadsheet stuff) is going to be out on maternity leave. This means I will be "acting analyst" while she's out on maternity leave. Read: way more work, way more hours, and no more money. However, it also means that I'll be more likely to get an analyst job if one ever opens up. It's more responsibility, which is good for advancement purposes...but it sucks! Also, I'm afraid I'll look like a slacker if I chose to be the regular Committee Assistant for the other two committees...Bgah.

| 1:54p | $#@%&*^!!!!! This job has me in a bad mood. I hate it. So much. So fucking much. I'm a glorified intern. I am all pmsy, and I want to cry and go home. I hate being a girl. It's dumb. It's too much work,and half the world (men) have zero idea what you're talking about. Ever try to talk to a man about feelings like frustration and about how things suck, and about how you're unhappy? They just start saying things like " Just keep trying. Apply to five jobs a day, every day." They just start throwing solutions at you. Then you tell them that since you have a shitty job that won't allow you to finish your masters, you can't make the money you want. You tell the guy that you have applied to all the jobs that you're qualified for, and you still can't command the salary you want and need until you get your masters. "Keep trying." You know you have to keep trying, obviously. There's nothing else to do. Sometimes all you want is some sympathy, and men are just interested in discussing all the stupid, obvious solutions that just don't work as well in practice. It's fucking tiring. Searching the paper, searching the internet, selling yourself, writing the cover letters, sending the resumes, waiting for calls and emails, getting all dressed up and sick and nervous over interviews, only to be disappointed with a low salary offer.....it's tiring. It's frustrating. Just keep waiting. Just keep trying. There's nothing else to do. Really?GAH! Current Mood: incandecent |

| 9:33p | Political rant I lean a bit to the left, but for the most part, I consider myself a centrist. A bit of background: I come from a military family, so I'm not anti-military. Also, I work in politics, so all the spin I see really sickens me, and I'm a bit of a cynic, and people's lack of involvement really confuses me, because then people complain about what's going on, but they never show up in the voting booth. That being said.. ( Read more... ) Current Mood: pissed |
