Inane Ramblings of an Over Caffinated Mind

The ReunionMy 10-year high school reunion is coming up fast and furious. I’m still a little conflicted on whether or not I will be attending. On the one hand, I’m curious to see how everyone turned out. Have all those lame clichés come true? Did the school jock become the assistant manager at the local McDonalds and realizes the best years of his life has long passed? Did the head cheerleader gain 200 pounds and popped out a liter of rugrats each by a different man? And most importantly, did the school nerd’s acne clear up, grew 6 inches, became uber successful and married an international supermodel?
Then again, why do I even care? I have not spoken to these people in…oh say…10 YEARS. There is only one person I stayed in contact with after graduation and we pretty much drifted apart a few years back. Additionally, with the advent of MySpace, I can pretty much answer all those aforementioned questions without ever leaving the comfort of my own home. That is at once astounding and muy FREAKY.

Is That A Light At The End of The Tunnel?Why does my last vacation seem like a lifetime ago? I’ve been swamped with work for the last four months and there appears to be no end in sight. However, I’ve finally managed to talk the boyfriend into seconding the motion of me quitting my job without first securing another job. Yea!
That may seem rash and quite immature, but I would rather spend those 12 hours a day job hunting than slaving away at my never ending workload. Fortunately, in my field there’s never a shortage of openings. So, I’ve had “the talk” with my boss, outlined my needs for remaining in my current position and established a timeline. Now the interesting part begins.
At least the personal life is better – just celebrated our three year anniversary this past weekend. It’s amazing how time flies.
