Today I gave in and decided to play bingo with a friend. I haven't played since middle school, and definitely not for money, but I though it could be fun. People have told me I'm good luck, and often I seem to bring it to wherever I am, though it tends to be beginner's luck. The first time I ever went fishing, we caught three dolphin (mahi), all 32+ lbs, and two blue fin tuna. The first time I went to a casino I won $180 from a $0.25 machine and the two people I was with racked up in roulette. The first time my friend told me that she even played bingo but had never won I said, "Well you never know; tonight just might be your lucky night!" She won $700.
So tonight we played and decided if either of us won, we'd split the money. She won twice and gave me half; we both walked away with $82. After bingo we both spent a few of our dollars from the winnings to buy 2 lottery tickets...she says she feels like tonight is the night, so you never know. $1,000 every week for life would be nice. :)

Today was the great epiphany. Not sure why; people have been saying the same thing to me in different ways for months now. FIND A NEW JOB! But for some reason hearing it come from one more person in one more way just topped it all off. It's been a week that my most annoying co-worker's been out on vacation. I thought I'd be happier to have some peace & quiet, or that all traces of her irritating behaviors would have vanished, leaving me blissfully stress-free for an entire five days. Instead I end up more pissed off than normal because I'm the one who has to do her work while she's gone--without so much as a "thank you" from anyone else. Then again, I end up having to do a lot of her work when she's here, too. Her poor work ethic and very convincing capability to lie through her teeth seem to leave her with plenty of things to do besides her job. Sooo, I guess the extra work shouldn't come as that much of a surprise. But still...sometimes I just want to throw it all out there to my boss one day. "Wow, I can see how she's so swamped! Spending three hours at work creating a DogSpace page for your pomeranian will definitely put you behind!" I'm bitter, what can I say. :-)
The jist of it is I'm underpaid and underappreciated. I need organization, equality, structure, focus, and rules. In my office you'd be lucky to find an inkling of any of them. It's making me miserable, and as my therapist said this evening, "Stop wasting the young years of your life feeling stuck and being miserable in a job you don't HAVE to keep!" I think I just might act on that after all.
So I pondered on the ride home, and pondered throughout my chavasana in Hot Flow Yoga, and am still pondering to this moment. I'm not really sure what it is I want to do yet, but I know for certain it's not what I'm doing right now.
Yoga, by the way, was fantastic. I haven't been in months but it was good to use all my muscles again (being a 'desk jockey' isn't exactly conducive to an active lifestyle). Isn't it amazing how sparking the good feeling in your body can in turn spark a good feeling in your mind? One hour and fifteen minutes of yoga has made me feel a lot better about a lot of things.
Going to bed early so I can end the evening on a positive note. More later...

It's been a long time since I've done the blogging thing.
Recent events--and memories of past blogging experiences--have inspired me to start writing again. Here's hoping I still get feedback.
I'm a Southern girl, born & raised, and it's definitely had it's effect on me. While I may have a few liberal views I lean mostly toward the conservative side, probably due to growing up in the Bible belt. I love everything about being from the south and wouldn't trade it for the world. I live and work in Southeast Georgia, fairly new to the working scene after finishing school a few years ago. I work at a local college in an administrative-type position. I love my job, but hate my co-workers (well, just 2 or 3 in particular), so we'll so how long I can tough it out. I have a great boyfriend that I adore, but marriage is nowhere in the mix for me anytime soon, so don't ask! I love music and just about anything related to it; it's been a huge part of my life ever since I can remember so most of my hobbies are related to music somehow. I also enjoy traveling and have big plans to see the world one day. That's about it about me.
Most of my writing will probably be work and friend related. It's been interesting transitioning from college life to the "real world" and none of it's been quite what I expected. To be quite honest, a lot of it has been outright disappointing. I've come to realize how unfair things really are--there's no fairness, no justice, no equality. The more time passes the more I start to feel like people, in general, are just shitty! My co-workers are some of those shitty people, and being forced to spend time with them makes for a miserable 40 hours a week. So if anyone has tips on how to handle the rude & annoying people they would be greatly appreciated. :-)
That's all for now, folks...
