Eight Days of Happy - A Very Late Day 7
Dec. 20th, 2008 09:39 pmSo yesterday was kind of horrible and I had kind of a late night and today I'm kind of sick again. This time it's sinus crap. Yay.
I was in a decent mood when I got to work yesterday but that went downhill when I got to my office. It mostly had to do with email and a 12/30 deadline on another data call and me being really, really sick of these data calls, especially one with a 12/30 due date.
So what was the silver lining yesterday?
* Three of my best work buds and I went to Maggiano's for lunch yesterday. Two of us were in a bad mood, one of us said "I want to kill everyone" and one of us was fairly positive. Did I mention we are all in Business Management? Yeah, this time of the year is not a happy time for business management. When our waiter asked us how we were today, I answered without hesitating, "bitchy". We were actually pretty funny (and very honest) and we gave him a generous tip for having to put up with us. Lunch made me happy. It was nice to be with people who understood the stress and the frustration. Trust me, that helps when it comes to venting. And since one of those people is my manager, that makes it even better.
* Seeing two of my friends open their presents and really liking their gifts, especially since they had no idea what I was getting them.
* When I left work last night, I won't be back in the office until January 5th. That doesn't mean I'm off--just don't have to go into the office.
* Getting a massage. This has been the one thing that's kept me going the last few months: my bi-weekly massage. And seeing my massage therapist. She's such a cool, fun person.
* Going to a party and seeing a very good friend I haven't seen in a couple of years. His dad hired me almost 21 years ago. I was the second person he came out to (I felt very honored). He's hilarious and when we get together, we're awful. But we laugh until we almost wet ourselves and last night was no exception.
