8 more days until my birthday. 3 more days before I go to Smokin' Grooves in L.A.

Hood Rich part 1.2 - the after effects
Whew. I am tired of my new schedule at work already. I am tired of the way it leaves me tired all of the time. I’m finally admitting to myself that being greedy for money is leaving me with a grumpy nature and a tired spirit. Being at work from seven in the morning until six in the evening and then spending an hour commuting in Las Vegas traffic each morning and evening is leaving me feeling like I don’t even have time to breathe. I’ll admit that initially the 4/10 schedule appealed to me because I liked the idea of having Friday’s off. Now I’m wondering if it’s even worth it. Since the first week I was on this schedule I’ve had to work every Friday anyway due to a new system we’re installing at work. I’m one of the lucky people to get picked to learn it first so that when it rolls out we can assist everyone else with it. I’m honored that my superiors think so high of me but a sister is tired.

So I’ve decided to go back to a somewhat normal schedule. Screw having Friday’s off if I am going to have to come in anyway. Something like 8-4:30 is more my speed anyway. I’ll admit that the overtime I was getting on this schedule was making me very hood rich, but at what cost? I only have 168 hours in a week. I need a few more of them to myself.

Company’s Here
My old Aunt Flo is in town. Let me tell you that she has made me the grumpiest, meanest bitch ever. Yesterday at work everything was pissing me off and I was snapping people left and right. I felt crabby the entire day and I think after a while people just got afraid to approach me. My girl knew what was up as soon as she saw me in the morning and she said as much. I thought that was extremely funny. Not funny enough to laugh though because I was pissy.

On Writing
Another drawback of this crazy work week is that I can barely form thoughts to write. This is not a good thing. The one thing that I do take pleasure in doing, the thing that flows from me like - like - see, I can’t even think of a good simile. Just know that it’s not easy going but I’m still trying to practice at it because if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.

Weird Dreams
Last night Brick and another female blogger were in my dream. I could see Brick and hear her voice clearly but I can’t remember who the other female was. We were looking for an apartment and I kept telling Brick that I didn’t want to live anywhere with old, raggedy toilets. I’m a bathroom snob, what can I say? In the dream Brick and I were rocking the same hairstyle, which is not so far from the truth. Brick was only concerned that she had a cell phone. Again, very weird dreams.

Make a Wish
Saima and I were chatting on AIM over the weekend and I asked her the following question:

If you could wave a magic wand and give yourself the life that you wish you had, what would you change about your present situation?

I’m going to work on composing my thoughts on that subject throughout today and share them with you this evening, but for the time being I would like to hear your thoughts. What would you change? What would you keep the same?

Have a good day at work everyone. :o)
