Morning Bike Ride

I noticed that the gap between those periods where I write a lot is about one week and I believe it is because I�m not using the notebook with any other medium. The in between step using MS word is extremely useful.

It was my nephew�s Birthday. My older brother got married and I broke up with my girlfriend. The whole thing involved a whole complex of events and I don�t think it is necessary to recount the tale. However, it was terrible and work the next morning was incredibly difficult. I believed that the world was falling apart. I went and saw a movie with myself. I watched a lot of movies. The job was incredibly difficult. It seems like I would list out the days or day parts and then fill them in.

I spend a lot of time fretting over using the bike or not because of the ride in the morning. I also came back from a weekend to discover that a couple of my co workers had had a tiff on Saturday and one of my coworkers had been fired. I learned about it while I was arranging to move my desk. However, I got a bonus and this sort of gave me a smile.

In each of these posts I use my notes in conjunction with memory, mementos and souvenirs to create a snap shot of my life. I wrote this on the 26th of May and posted it to the blog on June 13th.

Clubs for Bars

I keep notes and then read them while writing. For instance, I note that I made a mistake with my Clipper card. I pressed the wrong button and then I was carrying two around both of which have value on them.

At the same time, it is obvious that I don�t like my job. My coworkers say I am not in danger of losing it though. This doesn�t stop me from considering the idea of going back to my old job or getting another one. There seems to be a balancing act going on between staffing and deadlines. My bosses obviously wanted more people but couldn�t ramp up production at the same time as scaling up the work force. I pay a lot of attention to interpersonal interactions and my place in the hierarchy. I estimate that I�m not likely to lose my job for about two more months.

I went to Russian Hill with a couple of friends from LA and Orange. Being girls they wanted to go to clubs but settled for bars. I was amazed at how difficult it was to balance work and fun on a Friday night.
