I'm stressssssed :)
Yea, so I've had a really stressful week and it's pretty much been all my own fault. But stressful none-the-less.
I'm in Philadelphia right now with the UD rowing team at the Dad Vail regatta.
I guess that's where the stress started because there was some drama involved with getting out of work. Again, my own fault. Mostly. A little bit my boss's fault, too, because he acts like the fate of the entire company hinges on my attendance on any given day. And it's all silly because A. I'm expendable. B. 98% of what I do can be done via the phone and internet, and I have both of those things here. I was kind of just planning on calling in sick on Thursday and Friday, but that got messed up, and might have been kind of fishy, anyway, because Ashley works with me and is also here in Philly, of course. But it could have just been coincidence! Oh well.
I just want the kind of job where it's easy to be out of the office and to travel a lot. Like...whenever I want. I never want to have to pass up an opportunity because I have to work. I guess if I really loved my job a lot and it was the thing in life I was passionate about I might feel differently, but for right now...these other opportunities are just more important to me. My aunt has her best friend's wedding coming up and she's supposed to be in it and her boss said he wasn't sure if he could let her off that day. So if he says no, she'll go in. I told her just to call in, and she said she couldn't after she'd already requested it and they told her no. Which is a fair point, but if you knew the whole story...it's pretty much unreasonable that he said no. I'd do it anyway.
I guess I just can't be tied down so hard by anyone. I mean, sometimes it feels like high school again, where I had to ask my parents if I was allowed to do stuff. That's rediculous to live adult life like that. From now on, if I need a day or two or ten off for something, I'm taking them. I don't like this job that much, anyway.
Anyway, being in Philly should be super-cool because I love rowing and I've never been to the Vail and it's huge in the world of rowing. But it's misrably rainy outside. Yuck yuck yuck. I don't have to leave the hotel with the V8 until 1:00 PM, so at least I'm not out in it now, but I'd much rather be chilling in the sun at the course, or if we were still going to go over later, I'd at least rather be walking around downtown and checking things out since I've never been to this city before, either, and it looks really nice and fun.
Oh well...it's not THAT far. I could always come back sometime. And maybe it'll be nicer tomorrow. And I should be getting some work done anyway...
Bah.
