For some reason, this week has been CRAZY at the facility. There is so much to worry about and so much to take care of! I refuse to let it completely defeat me. I adore my job but the organization here can be a little sketchy here at times.
Just to give you some idea, here is a true story that happened to me yesterday. After I practically ran out of school about 4:30pm yesterday, I got into my car and went to Publix because I was out of yogurt and Slim Fast. After meandering around the aisles and imagining how yummie waffles would be, I bought my Slim Fast, yogurt, ok and some sherbet too, and left. I took my rainbow reusable bags out to my car with my Slim Fast 12 pack and I drove away.
I was flipping through a playlist I had made and I decided I wanted to hear “2 of America’s Most Wanted” by Tupac and Snoop Dogg. As I turned it up loudly, I rolled the windows down and came to a stop surrounded by many other cars as we all approached the light at 51st St W and Cortez Rd. Just then, a stereotypical looking snowbird couple in a silver minivan pulled up next to me and the female rolled down her window. “Excuse me, ma’am” she said with a concerned look. “You have a SlimFast container on top of your car.”
“Thank you so much, ma’am. It’s been a long day.” I sighed too tired to even be embarrassed about my clueless error. I put my car in park and stepped out of my car in the intersection to notice all the people had been staring at me. “It’s been a long day.” I said to the woman who pulled up next to me following the silver van.
“I hear that.” She said sounding deflated.
It’s so weird that our society seems to need a collective mental health day. Everyone is has been burning the candle at both ends for so long that everyone seems so zoned out. I’m not sure I can remember the last time I wasn’t exhausted. I would just sleep more, but I have this irrational fear that I’ll never get to have fun if I sleep too much. It’s kind of weird.
I want to see some iPod or iTunes lists, people! I want to see what kind of random mess other people listen to!
