One of the worst parts about my job is the fact that not only do I sit in a psuedo-cubicle all day facing a wall, but one of the big bosses has his office right behind me. I sit with my back to him all day. Definitely not a picture I would want. Definitely makes getting personal calls a little more harrowing. When he's here, that is. This boss is very rarely here. Usually off doing "sales calls" (wink wink, nudge nudge) or playing with his race horses. Oh to have such decisions in life. Even worse is the fact that my other bosses are always back and forth between their offices and the one behind me. I've joked that I am going to put in a couch and a tv so people can be comfortable while they are waiting to see the boss behind me.
I have to admit to a guilty pleasure. I have been watching MTV's Sorority Life and Fraternity Life. I know, pathetic for a 27 year old woman. Eh, it's a good way for me to relive my days at Camp Shippy. Speaking of college, my requested copies of my transcripts came yesterday. I asked for three and all three are sealed. If I break the seal they become unofficial. Because my curiosity got the better of me, I broke one open. I swear I do not remember my grades or GPA being that low. Sigh, it's going to be an uphill climb for me to get through this whole teaching certification thing. Still haven't made the call to PSU Harrisburg yet. Why? For the same reason I I haven't had The Talk with Bob yet. I'm afraid of what I'm going to hear.
"Sure Ms. Agategoddess, we know you're not the same person you were 5 years ago and that you are totally dedicated to the idea of becoming a teacher. However your subpar GPA combined with the stifiling requirements for teachers put on this state by former Gov. Ridge will not allow us to accept you. Thank you for your time and best of luck in all of your future endeavors." Or something like that.
Sorry for the pessimism. The crapy weather today has me down a little bit. That and lack of sleep. I had a resounding 4-1/2 hours last night. I think I'll hit the sack early. Hopefully it won't take me too long at Old Navy or Linens and Things and I can get home, get my laundry started and get to the gym. Bought my food journal today on my trip to Target. It's small and blue (my favorite color) and the pages are blank so I can write as big or small as I want. Also bought a folding chair. You know, the kind that fold up and fit into a little carry bag? They were on sale and I wanted to have one so I bought it. I've decided it's o.k. to splurge on my shopping evenings every now and then, just as long as it doesn't happen all the time.
Better get moving, I was supposed to have been out of here by now. I love my job, I love my job, I love my job...uh, never mind.
