The past week and a half has officially been the most-full weeks I’ve had since last summer when I worked 9-5, probably…and it feels weird yet satisfying at the same time. By “full” I mean every weekday from 9-5 (on average) I’m doing something, whether it be work or school. And what I’ve come to realize…is that getting up and going to work is a lot easier than getting up to go to class. Take today, for instance:
I couldn’t motivate myself to go to my 10am class because I don’t see a point in going, other than the obvious reason that obtaining its credit will allow me to graduate. It’s a freshman class that I didn’t really have to take…and then it came back to bite me in the ass this semester because, apparently, it merged with Humanities 101. I had no prior knowledge of this; had I, I would’ve probably taken something else, because learning how to write in MLA format is something I really don’t need to be doing. Like, seriously? I’m almost out of college…and I’ve written several 10-page MLA format papers in Italian, and English. Give me a freakin’ break, CUNY!!
So, I couldn’t bring myself to go to class today…but I merrily skipped out the door when I was ready to go to work. Today, I got to make flyers in photoshop on my own, ship wine, and copy 100 promotional CD’s, all of which is incredibly mindless…maybe it’s just me, but I enjoy mindless work so much. My “Recreation Specialist” position with the town was a good precursor to that.
But it’s not all what I do which is why I love my job…it’s the people. Today around 4:30 everyone was collectively feeling burnt out, and the bosses had all left for the day, so the 4 of us that were left in the office all decided to crack open a sample bottle, drink a glass of wine, and chat for 40 minutes. On an astrological side-note, it just so happened that the 4 of us that were there were a Capricorn, a Libra, a Pisces, and Leo. The Leo was kinda off doing his own stuff while drinking his glass of wine, but the rest of us were all sitting on couches chatting. To tell the truth it was all the Libra’s idea and the two of us immediately followed; the Leo was a little reserved about taking this type of free time. I love cardinal signs for being such trend-setters. Also whenever the phone rang, the Libra would just yell for the Leo to pick up the phone and we’d continue chatting. LMAO
So, I’ll say it again, as I’m sure I’ll say it a million more times: I love working for Italians. I honestly feel really bad for people who work in offices that are cut-throat and competitive where people’s ideas of trying to not be as mis as they are is to just simply get out of the building for a while…because cracking open some wine is definitely the right way to do it.
