vodka, 2am, "careers"
written on 2005-08-01 at 1:47 a.m.

so...i begin my new (first) job (salaried) in 8 hours.

judging from the time, i must be nervous. to be honest, i feel like my curly headed, second-grade self about to change schools smack in the middle of that gawky, too-big-teeth phase.

i will feel much better once i wake up in the morning and realise i've slept, if even for an hour or two. a case of nerves and i can just kiss my sleep goodbye. hopefully this thimble of vodka will help. by thimble, i mean tumbler. heh, in about 1/2 the glass i can write "thumbler."

i just have to remember a couple of things:
shut up 2 out of every 3 times i feel like speaking.

do not order the extra-large-monster-grande cup of coffee in the morning.

do not suggest radical approaches to political problems (non-profit work does not equal the revolution).

stop drinking vodka at 2am.

right on. i'll take that last bit of advice right about...now.


...


maybe.

i do know one thing: i'm going to begin updating my online journal daily. it's been sorely neglected.

i'm learning about
the Workforce

words for the day
Work saves us from melancholy.

current state
edge-of-my-seat terror.
