I've got no reset for this game.
Do you ever have one of those days where you're convinced things are going to go one way...and then, in a single moment, everything changes?
Really?
Because I don't.
My changes are more gradual and I can generally see them coming...therefore, giving me time to plan and scheme my next move. Not that I take advantage of of this time to actually do anything...but, hey, if I ever needed it, it'd be there for me.
Take today, for example. I figured I'd be working ALL day...come home, go to sleep, and then wake up for a soccer game at 7 a.m. Well, as it turns out, the weather probably isn't going to allow for much soccer playing, so rather..I get to sleep in!
This is a concept. So...if I get to sleep in...that means that I don't have to be in bed early! Wait. IF I'm not being forced to rouse at such an early hour...that means I can stay up ALLLLLLL night....But, doing what? Well...drinking, of course!
Ok. That's pushing it. I'm not really planning on staying up all night. But, the yet-another-day-spent-yawning pressure is off...
But, honestly..I'm at a loss for what to do with my time right now. I'm too tired to use my brain OR body too much...but, too awake to let it go.
So...I've decided to become *cough*stolen*cough* inspired by my previous-post-mentioned link...and make a few lists of my own. SO. Here we go:
I can't seem to stop talking about my new job. This is a good thing. I like it. But, unfortunately, all of you blog readers are going to be subjected to repetitive themes here. My advice? Deal with it. And now, List 1...
Favorite phrases that I've heard on more than one occasion coming out of student's mouths that they don't think I hear:
-Look out! She's coming!
-Shiiiiit...I don't care what she do. (Yes. This EXACT same thing has been said more than once.)
-Naaawww...it's cool. Just keep it under the desk. She won't see it.
And of course....
Phrases 16-year-old-me NEVER would have believed could come out of my mouth....EVER:
-If I see it again, I'm taking it up. I've already told you twice.
-Do you reeeeallly think if you keep asking me the same question that I'm eventually going to change my answer to "yes?"
-Referrals really aren't that hard for me to write.
-You do realize you live in Austin, right? Not Compton...or Harlem...or any part of Detroit...including the suburbs...that's right Austin. Have you ever even been to a big city? AND...San Antonio doesn't count. <---ok. This is probably an exception. 16-year-old me would probably believe that 26-year-old me could say something like this.
So, why do I like my new job so much? Plain and simple...I get to boss people around AND be a smart-ass all at the same time! Who would've thought such a profession existed!?!? I guess this makes me look like kinda a hard ass...which, I figure I can be, but for the most part, if peeps are nice to me, I'm nice back. AND...the opposite holds true as well. I have no problem responding in Asshole-ese when addressed that way...
Well, it's worked so far...not that I'm banking on it too much....but, I like to take it one step at a time.
