Entries from August 2007
I have to say that I am very proud of myself today. Even though I did not get any sleep last night I got a lot accomplished. I cleaned under my bed, which was scary. Now all that lays there is a bin with DVD covers . I fixed ten breakfast burritos, which I froze. I am enjoying the book that I am reading (Eat Pray Love By Elizabeth Gilbert). I also washed the dishes. And I made it to work forty five minutes early. My intention today is optimism. It came to me as I was thinking of whether to write this blog or not. I like optimism. I want to reclaim it, getting older made it vanish.
Act as if it were impossible to fail.

Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.

Light tomorrow with today.

This word describes work right now. I am far from employee of the month, but I am far from being fired too. It’s madness here. And to make matters worse my hair is chaotic. My clients are stressing me out!!!! I trully am stressing myself out over the clients. I want to help so much it hurts. But my clients need a little self empowerment and I need to disconnect the cord. I also need to disconnect the cord to me and this chaos at work. Other people are ill prepared and it is causing problems with me being prepared. I work tonight and I do not even know what time I am suppose to start working tonight. I just don’t know. He ignores me every time I ask when I am leaving the office to go off site. I am trully at the high point. I need a watermelon martini or something. The hotel better not have a bar, because then I will be taking a much needed drink. Yeah whatever, I know I cannot drink on the job. But believe me I need a drink. How do you work with a micromanager who isn’t organized?

Without chaos, there is no form. Without clouds, no clarity. - Erica Jong
The artful denial of a problem will not produce conviction: on the contrary, a wider and higher consciousness is required to give us the certainty and clarity we need. - Carl G. Jung
Clarity is the counterbalance of profound thoughts. - Marquis De Vauvenargues
I am so praying for clarity right now. Clarity for where I want to go and how I am going to get there. Clarity on work and my personal relationships with others.

I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the first time this weekend and I cannot believe I have never seen this movie. I am so Holly Golightly!!! Well, I am not a call girl or I don’t deliver “weather reports” from mob bosses but I still feel like we are similar. The funny thing is now that I have seen the movie I recognize so many references to the movie. I think it’s great. Back to me being like Miss Golightly. She is looking for herself the whole movie and all she basically has to do it be herself. Yes, I also make-up names for people though if a cute guy lived near me I would not call him by my brother’s name. She wanted to be fabulous and electic,, but she didn’t realize she was already all of that. Yes, not to myself I got it. Over all I love this movie!!!
