another beautiful day in the life of a girl

O.K.…..So I ranted and raved last night (see last entry) and got it all off my chest. This morning I woke up with a huge grin on my face. And I walked outside and the sun was shining. I figure I’m in a good location in the world to find beauty in the most mundane things. I mean I drive past rows of beautiful palm trees every morning to get to work. There are big fluffy clouds in bright blue skies pretty much every single day. And I swear today there was a giant smiley face in the sky.

Yeah today I have a Barney the Dinosaur outlook right now. It could be way worse. I could be whistling and changing my sneakers Mr. Rogers style.

We got a new employee today, Jack. Jack tells me that he gets emails from Miss Cleo. I swear she’s a whore. Why do I always trust the wrong people? ;-)

Wow someone told me I should write for a magazine or something. As if…I just can’t see that yet. Maybe I need to visualize it and make it happen. Wonder what I’d have to do first. I’m still struggling to work on this outline for my novel. I abandoned the notion of just sitting down and writing freeform and I’m working on an outline. This process makes me feel like I’m in 5th grade or something.

My supervisor just called me into her office and asked ME how to do some stuff on Excel. She needed to know how to “un-highlight” a cell that I had highlighted for her attention and how to find something (Control key + F). And here I am always being hard on myself because I’m never happy knowing there’s so much I don’t know about Excel. Go figure. Maybe I knew more than I thought. Sure there’s always going to be something you don’t know, but there’s also some things that I do know. The funniest thing was two weeks ago when my boss Richard figured out how to keep the top line of Excel stationary while you scroll the rest. Yes…it’s a small victory but nonetheless we were both happy when he figured it out. That so-called “office assistant” sucks Microsoft dick by the way!

Achin to be…

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
