I woke up at 7:40 thinking it was 8:40-- managed to get ready and jumped into the car by 8:00.... "WHAT! FUCK!" I checked the watch, look at the time in the car again, still in disbelief so I checked my phone... "Ah that's why the alarm on the phone didn't go off yet". "FUCKING IDIOT". So I lost my sleep, my precious sleep that's more important to me now than ever, not to mention the dream I was having that was unfortunately cut short due to me waking up X-trA early. Maybe that's why my cat looked surprised when I woke up to feed him, or why the room was still somewhat darker than usual, and maybe that's why I am sitting here doing nothing but blogging. Can't believe I was done with work before 9 today, and I can't believe I have at least 6 more hours left of nothing to do. Who knows, I am actually hoping for something to come up that I can participate in because I am driving myself nuts out of boredom. Nothing too difficult or time consuming either, just something that can take up a good 10 min of my time then I would be happy. Easily content eh? Yea maybe... or just laziness. New co-worker used to complain to me about having nothing to do and how she wanted to quit here and take the offer that's still waiting for her. According to her that other offer is a marketing manager position with a salary that's much higher than this one... but she took this job out of hoping to learn something useful in this OEM space. Sad to say everything is about timing and as far as we all know, she won't be learning anything for awhile. I told her why complain, just enjoy the fact that you are getting paid for nothing! It is true isn't it? I am sure most people would agree... but the truth is her and I are exactly the same, to ask us to sit here with nothing to do is like doing jail time, except this is probably the best way to do time. Is it that bad? No. But is it hard to endure? YES! Yesterday I was in such a shitty mood because I had nothing to do the whole day-- I ran out of blogs to read, sites to shop, e-mails to reply. Did all the work there was to do and I was just sitting there... I seriously think if I can make a career out of sitting on my ass in front of the computer to do absolutely nothing, I would be a millionaire because I am so damn good at it. Maybe this wouldnt be so bad if Kenny isn't sitting directly to my left-- take off the pressure to "perform" n destroy that guilty feeling, I guess I wouldn't mind to do time and get paid! Aye~! Only if the world works like that...
