It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other...

Now Playing: The Blackhawks game in the background

So I'm rekindling the blog. Since April, I graduated college with two degrees, I managed the pool at a country club, I spent a summer living in Madison hanging out with the neighbor boys and sitting on their porch every night, I got a real job in sales, I moved to Chicago, I met my random roommates whom I adore, I had a completely mortifying meltdown in front of all the wrong people and at the wrong time, I realized that I need to not have a real job because I'm not ready for it yet, I needed my parents to console me and I decided I'm going to do a triathlon.

I think that basically moves us up to speed. Currently I am trying to find a new job while maintaining my current post - which I loathe. I am also in the process of getting an Australian visa so I can move there next year. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for my trip to Amsterdam that's coming up at the end of the month. I'm working on making myself happy.

It's one of those jobs like Peter has in Office Space except worse. I have to make over 600 cold calls a week. I really feel like every day is worse than the day before. At least I really like the people I work with - except the bosses. They totally suck. There are cute boys in my office, which makes things more fun.

It's funny, before you enter the work force and actually have an office job, you don't realize a few things:
1) How funny the show The Office really is
2) How stupid people really are
3)How much an office environment resembles high school

I mean think about it. When is the last time you had to get up every single day at 7:00 a.m. and go be in the same place with the same people all day? When is the last time you actually had people breathing down your neck to get things done and harassing you about your work? When is the last time there was drama that you had to deal with every day that you could not escape because it was basically your life?

Now, my main question is: What is the policy about an O.R. (office relationship)? There are some guys I work with that I would seriously consider hanging out with on a very regular basis. I guess it actually doesn't really matter all that much, since I'm probably going to quit or get fired before the end of this month. I need a bartending job. That would be ideal for me right now.

I am a little rusty on this whole writing thing... I am going to stop here. Don't worry, I'm going to write soon. I need the practice :)
