I’ve got news. Big news:

I’m tired.

Not big enough? Well I have already told you about my new job. And every day it is getting a little better. And I have been apartment hunting. So that has been… well… interesting to say the least.

I am terrified that I am not going to get a pay check at the end of the month because nobody is making it seem like a reality. Particularly when I call human resources and they tell me that they have lost my I-9 form. You know, the form that has your social security number on it. The kicker is that I have filled that form out three times for them now. Which means there are three pieces of paper floating around in this 24 story building with my personal information on it.

But really, that is all I got.

I’m tired.

So today I took the bus to work. And it made me feel great about myself. You might be thinking, “Yeah, this treehugger feels great because she is doing good for the environment.”

But…

You’d be wrong.

On the bus, I am the champion of personal hygiene. I am the best dressed. Hell, I am in the 10% that still has my own teeth. I know the best kept secret: deodorant. And even when I have a giant hole in the crotch of my pants, showing the world my bright pink underwear, I am still doing better than 99.9% of the people around me.

(Yes. I did have a hole in the crotch of my pants. No. I didn’t know it was there until 5 minutes before the end of my work day. Don’t worry. I was plenty embarrassed.)

Well, I am in Sacramento now. I start my new job tomorrow. This is the new job I was supposed to start 3 weeks ago. You know, the job I accepted a total of FIVE weeks ago. But at least I am starting something. Nothing sucks more than sitting around with nothing to do. Because doing nothing just perpetuates more nothing. And so one day slips by and you think, “Okay. Tomorrow I am going to clean.” And then that day comes and you are on your butt watching an entire season of Top Chef on Bravo all in one day.

I have my first work outfit all picked out. I even have my first lunch all picked out.

I have a feeling that the anxiety of starting something new is going to set in pretty quickly. Wish me luck!

Now I know how Eric feels.

Today when I got into work my co-worker whipped out her left ring finger and showed everyone her insane engagement ring. This is the same co-worker that lives in the same building as me. They have not been together that long - 6 months I think. And just the other day she was complaining about how she wanted to break up with him.

Why does this bother me so much? Maybe it is because I have been irritated the past few days?
