…8 to 5:30…
Ugh, I’ve never felt more tired from work before. I was supposed to just train this whole first week, it was supposed to be lax, but it has been anything but that. One of my teammates is leaving at the end of the month, so I have to take over all of her cases and files, so I trained for all of maybe half a day on my first day, and after that, they just kept tossing cases and files at me. My cubicle was empty when I started on Monday, and now it’s packed full of cases and what not. Geez, these people are intense! Yeah, I’m catching on, but it’s just so overwhelming, and pretty soon, there’ll only be two of us on the team–not cool. I’ve been coming in earlier and staying later, and I’m just pooped out by the time I get out. When Paul comes to pick me up, I’m usually so exhausted, I just fall asleep in the car until we get to either the restaurant or back to my place. Man, if this is what corporate America is like, I don’t like it one bit! I hadn’t anticipated this job taking this much out of me, but it is and now I’m behind in my other work…
I’ve delayed my film some more, but I have to get it done by the end of this week. I can’t drag it out any longer. It’s such a pain in the ass though because I still have to interview the Executive Director of our organization, but now that I work Monday through Friday, it’s incredibly difficult to find time to head out to the East Bay to interview him. I’m gonna have to think of something so I can get this done this week, but man, that’s just more to add to my already fatty plate of things to do. At this rate, I’ll be obese from all the things on my plate. Adding to the existing stress created from having two jobs, it’s also tax time and I need to send all my stuff to my sister. This wouldn’t be such a difficult thing to do if it weren’t for the fact that I have all my crap scattered everywhere from the move; I’ve still yet to settle into my apartment and room. Again, it’s something I must get done by this weekend because I’m running out of time…
Paul and I went to see John Cleese tonight after I got off work. We left at intermission though because I was so tired, I fell asleep through the whole first half and it just didn’t seem worth it to stay for the whole thing if I was just gonna sleep through it anyway. Not that the guy wasn’t funny, but I was just really pooped out. Besides, most of the asides he was making were in reference to a time not mine–my generation was Saved By The Bell, not Monty Python. Sorry Mr. Cleese, the tickets were meant to be a birthday present for my friend who totally loves you, but she couldn’t make it and I didn’t want the tickets to go to waste since I already paid for them. Ah well, c’est la vie…
Alrighty, time for this old man to hit the sack…

That’s ok. I’ll just continue to life in denial. It is just a river in Egypt. (I seriously had “denile” typed there and was like “wait.. that’s not right..”) But seriously, whatdya get me?
Take it easy, sneezy. All work and no play make Tyler.. dull.
*hugs* hang in there ty! you can do it!!
maybe you should find someone to hire to delegate responsibility to. perhaps someone who’s a berkeley graduate, political science major, 5’6, handsome, who has a body of a god, and a fast learner and avid lover of film.
Let’s face it, you could use the help, and more importantly, the eye candy.
ur so hottt!
Oh man I thought Cleese was next weeek. Can’t believe I missed that. Im sure after the learning curve smooths out the work load won’t be as much of a problem.
you sound as if you’re walked straight into my life (in terms of work load and constant exhaustion). now all i gotta do is move to SF, and then i will walk into your life. I wanna come over soon and see the new place. OOOOOoo, house (warming) party!
wow try and hang in there man. you’ve got a lot on ya plate to say the least. try and get some “you” tyme in there. : )
so in terms of hk disneyland – my friend said it was really small, and he was able to go through in a few hours on a thursday. and it was busy on a thursday afternoon. so busy that he had to wait 15 – 20 minutes waiting for a ride. … THAT’S IT??!? dang, i’d love to have ride lines like those in disneyland.
i’m surprised you got in during new years. b/c there were riots. and stuff. haha. but seriously, an hour for hk disneyland rides? yeah, lame. and i think it would be fun to go to disneyland w/ you. maybe one of these weekends or something. right now it’s the price of children for adults, i think.
no, seriously.
I wouldn’t get that either
I don’t think I can sit through a Monty Python, the jokes are really old
oh sorry. i don’t even know who sings that song. i just know that its called “bounce to da beat”
