Because I'm A Unicorn

Today I fly back home to spend the next 15 days with my family and friends. I'm both excited and saddened by this. Of course, I'm excited to see my parents, my brother, my dogs, my friends- and to enjoy all the time I get to spend with these amazing people. I'm sure will have plenty of good times, and that once I'm there I'll feel really stupid for half of me wanting to stay here right now. My work will be closed until January 2nd, if I were to stay here I would have so much free time to do whatever I want with. I'm in these moods lately where I wish I had more time here, free time. There's so much stuff I want to do- all of it mostly involving freezing my ass off outside and getting to know this other side of nature I never had in my life before. This break would be an ideal time for that, but since I will not be here that's out of the question. I'm equally torn between wanting to be with my family and friends back home and wanting to stay here and be alone right now. It's easier to say right now that I'd rather stay, just because it doesn't involve packing, flying, an entire night of travel hassels. I feel like a dick thinking that though, because there's these pictures of my dogs and my friends and my family all around me at my desk. And also because.. well, I am a total dick anyway, haha.

I have a few plans for the vacation already, but not many. I will probably spend way too much time with my dogs and going for walks and taking them hiking. I swear, all I WANT to do anymore is be outside. Not even doing anything in particular outside. I'd be happy right now just to be sitting at the lake staring out at it. I'm turning into a hippy, I've been using extra soap in the shower to try to wash it off, ha. Anyway- I think mostly I'm a little bit worried because the way I've been feeling lately makes me genuinely happy, I think, perhaps, spending too much time with my friends will get me caught up in the way of life I kind of ditched a few months ago. I was happy then as well, so I suppose it doesn't matter, but this is just.. different.

In news that's not related to my going insane- my job is going well. I have nothing to do today because most everyone is wrapping up for the holiday and doesn't want to start anything new. The project I've been working on has been put on hold because there are two different groups doing it two different ways- we've all had to cease work until we can agree on which way is more effective, after the holiday. So, today, I am pretty bored, just contemplating random things in my head. I had my review on Tuesday, high marks, good news. They seem especially impressed with my communication skills. That made me chuckle a little bit because nobody's ever said that before. These people are on crack. Also, after the holiday, they want to train me up to be their new computing focal. The two people that have that title now want to retire soon, and they've chosen me as their replacement. Can't wait- should be good. Usually, I woudn't give a damn and I'd tell them to shove it- but, I really like it here. I plan to branch out in my experience and work on developing myself to something better within the company. That's a first. I suppose it's good, because this is definitely a better job that I could have thought I'd get so soon, so at least I'm taking it a litter seriously and feeling good about the fact that they're willing to help me develop myself.

My co-worker is going to meet me at the airport, him and his roomate. They're from California, and their flight leaves 5 minutes after mine does. Since we will all be there the same time we're going to have a few drinks and kill those long airport hours together. I'm excited for that. I like Gary, he's very nice, funny and the only one that's close to my age (I think he's 23 or something).

Everyone's discussing lunch. I'm off in two hours. I'm not going, I'm gonna sit here and continue thinking about... randomness.

I think the problem is you are shut up in an office all day and you're not use to that. Plus you are working full-time, so you probably feel like you don't have any free time. I know when I was doing daycare in my home, I never wanted to go visiting or things like that on the weekends because my time was so precious I just wanted to take off and do my own thing.

Did you give yourself a day back early so you can have that time before going back to work?

Have fun with your family and friends and have an awesome Christmas!

Not at all, I get back late on the 6th and right into a 58 hour week, haha, I'm a moron.

But, I think you may be a little right.. I'm used to long weeks and being in an office, but in WA- it's dark when I go to work, it's dark when I get home. They don't believe in daytime in the winter, so maybe that has got something to do with it. :p

Well, that will do it right there! If I have to wake up in the morning and go anywhere and it's dark, I feel depressed. It must be even worse if you leave work and it's still dark, lol
