yay!

Ehh, I never post on tumblr anymore, but yay, i’m excited!

I got a job back in Richmond.. so that means I’ll be closer to fam & friends!  The job is more in the laboratory as opposed to the manufacturing aspect.. so that means better hours!  No more night shift and unexpected nonsense where I can’t have a life.  I even got a job higher than I applied for.  I’ll hopefully be able to come home and see my family for the holidays!  The whole time I worked at HGS, the only holiday I was home for was New Year and President’s Day (if you count that a holiday).

Anyway, I feel truly blessed!  Had my last night of work today and I am really going to miss my co-workers. :(  However, I’ll see them tomorrow when we go out bowling.  Tonight I’ll be going out with some friends from around the DMV. :)

I leave for Richmond on Saturday and I get my apartment in the Museum District on November 5th!  I’m actually pretty excited about that.

Well this is a whole bunch of nonsense, but yay! :)

okay

Well it’s been forever since I’ve written a tumblr post, but I’ve been really busy lately…

This post is going to be a little bit personal, but I am trying to deal with the consequences of my biggest mistake - taking a job offer in Maryland… one of which I made a little bit over a year ago.

I admit I’ve learned a lot from this mistake, but in the end, I am really unhappy here.. and I have been for the majority of the time I’ve been here.  Why live unhappily?

Past couple months, I’ve told myself to stop complaining and start doing, but “doing” is never going to be easy and I accept that.  Till next time..

Day 8 - What you ate today

I know it’s early in the morning, but it’s actually the end of my “day” since I work the night shift.. so, this is what I had:

- honey bunches of oats cereal w/ vanilla soy milk

- an omelette with feta cheese, onions, garlic, and chunks of spam

- plantain chips

- a cup of blueberries (anti-oxidants!)

- the rest of my omelette with whole wheat bread

- siopao

Day 7 - Five pet peeves

1.) When my lips are chapped - I hate the feeling and I always fear licking my lips because I heard that saliva makes your lips dryer.

2.) The word AIN’T - “Ain’t” is not a word.  If you use that, you just sound uneducated.

3.) Mixing up You’re/Your and any words of the like.  Totally different meanings.

4.) Traffic - It messes up my weekends, especially I-95 coming from the DC area.  I’m just a girl trying to go home after working a night shift with minimal sleep.  Why must you cut my weekends into itty bitty pieces with traffic?

5.) Misinterpretation - this goes on both receiving and giving ends.  If I don’t understand something, I will repeatedly ask till I understand and if I say something and you don’t know what I said/or what I meant by it, I’ll never know unless you say something to me.

Day 6 - Your views on mainstream music

I’m not that cool.  I have nothing on my ipod, except for maybe Christina Aguilera’s first album and other songs of that era, so I rely on the radio a lot for my tunes… so yes, I do listen to mainstream music.  

However, I’m not limited to it!  I like all music.  Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of “Florence and the Machine,” which is not entirely mainstream.  I love the song “Howl.”  I also LOVE a lot of old school songs.  I’ve made a grooveshark playlist including a real big mix of INOJ, Stevie Wonder, Roxette, Neyo, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, BEYONCE, Usher, Adele, etc.  I’m also a big fan of classical, baroque (big piano/violin geek growing up), and Latin music.

However, one mainstream song I absolutely HATE and never liked.. even before it got “played out” is The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars!  Please get OFF the radio.  Thanks! :)
