2000-02-04 15:33:59 I feel like making this my rambliest entry ever. in the interest of product, but also, but ALSO in the interest of avoiding work. or AW, as they abbreviate. today is the second day in a row that is eerily quiet in the office where I work. it's so strange. on most days there are mp3's blasting from every computer, people doing calisthenics all over the floor, somebody flirting loudly and obviously with someone else, and lot of just general yelling and laughing and merriment. and it's usually 20 times worse on fridays (friday follies, it's known as). we've had almost none of that the last few days. i'm not sure if everyone's just in a blah mood, or if everyone's just sick and or tired from all the heavy weather we've been having, but it is WIERD. no shouting or even talking. just people staring at computers. scary. where have all the children gone? it's fine with me though. i'm still not sure exactly how much i love it here. i mean the people are wonderful and the work is generally pretty ok, but the hours are just insane, i think. this job is too much in my life. i need something i can just leave at 5 every day and not have to take home with me, mentally or physically. i found, or really, my wonderful wonderful and cool girlfriend found for me, a place in cambridge that does career counseling that looks really cool. a few of the places i looked at were really just kind of corporate whore bootstrap kind of places. that didn't really appear to have any interest in helping you pick up the pieces of your soul or anything. like they're probably just like the crappy awful crappy career counselors in high school & college, where they give you one test and say either "you should be a meter maid," or "it seems like you need to spend some time researching different careers and really thinking about what your goals are and what you want to achieve." THANKS, HELPFUL! this place i got here, lifeworks, i think they're called. i don't know, i haven't actually spoken to anyone there yet or anything, but judging from their website and what my girlfriend told me, they seem to have a kind of writing, journal-based approach, which appeals. little pricey, maybe, but hopefully, hopefully, it'll be worth it. what else can i tell you. oh. camilla parker is TOTALLY FUCKING COOL and if you're anywhere near boston you should be on your way to the ICA RIGHT NOW to see her exhibit. it goes until april or something, but still. she rocks. i saw an exhibit of hers a few years ago in london. she was up for the turner prize, which those robbers didn't give her, but so anyways there was a nice exhibit of her stuff at the Tate. i think she's cool. i don't know what any of it means, really. i just know what i like. she's probably one of the only really modern artists/non-painters who i can even name, i'm so pathetic. but she does really cool stuff with like the dust from freud's couch and record print shavings from abbey road, and pieces of burned lumber from southern baptist churches that were arsoned. pretty powerfull stuff, generally speaking. so maybe that'll happen for me this weekend. also I need to find some reviews of scr3am. am I going to see it? i guess i am. kind of looking forward to it. sort of. less, the more i think about it. i really like the first one, i saw it before all the hype set in, so it was quite a nice surprise. the second one i can't barely even remembering anything about, which say a bunch. i just remember being angry that they killed jamie kennedy, who was the best part of the whole franchise. luckily he somehow comes back in the third one. I would've taken issue with it if he hadn't. so there's that. don't forget to go see Titus if you haven't already. readers, if you exist, if you're out there, if you've gotten this far, I wish you peace & love. k thank you very much & credits music: "now I don't, I used to love him, now I don't." |
