0851 hrs:Hola...Happy Friday! Happy Halloween!
What is everyone dressed up as today? I am a Hogwarts student - Slytherin, of course! I had a different costume that I was going to wear, but when I woke up a 1/2 hour late and was going to therefore be late to work by a 1/2 hour, I just grabbed my Hogwarts clothes and called it good. The other costume had accessories and would have required a bit of make up, so ....
Though I was running (way) late, I went through a coffee drive thru. It IS Friday - and Halloween to boot, so I thought to myself, "Well, if you're already going to be almost a 1/2 hour late, what is another 3 minutes?" I had the same thought while I was depositing my paycheck at the bank drive up. Altogether, it probably set me back 5-7 minutes. I still got here and was "only" 20 minutes late. Considering I have been late only once or twice in the past 3 months and those times I was only late by a minute or two, I think my boss will be fairly forgiving this time. She hasn't said anything about it yet and seemed to laugh when I came in and my voice was still full of sleep.
Put more songs on my mp3 player last night. I added 25 songs, so now I'm up to 55 songs on the player. I need to convert a lot of my files from .wma to .mp3, but I don't have a converter program. So that will be on my to-do list this weekend. I guess that's one drawback of this player is that it ONLY plays mp3 files - nothing else. D:
Nothing much else to write about right now. Besides, still working on audit stuff, so busy busy busy.
0951 hrs:My life lately is full of little changes that make me feel as if there is a lot that is different. For one, I broke my flip phone on Wednesday night while talking to my friend Sarah, so I had to get a new phone yesterday after work. I was very fond of my old phone. I had it for 4 years. What a wonderful phone it was! It was hard trying to find a replacement for it, but I ended up going with the same series of phone, but the version that is now available. It's a little bit different, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I feel like I have bid good-bye to an old friend when I think about my old phone with its cool ringtones and all of its presets. *longing sigh*
Also, last night I spent a few hours going over my JET application and nitpicking it to make sure everything was done to the best of my ability and then submitted the online part of the application. I printed the paper copy and now just need to stop by a Kinko's to get copies made and then the post office to send it Certified mail. I feel a weird tingling in the pit of my stomach when I think about it all. As I told Nailz, I feel as though I'm setting the wheels of fate in motion and that is a very strange idea for me - as if I haven't had the opportunity to do that in a long time or never noticed it before. Though I'm a bit nervous (ok, so A LOT nervous) about it, I'm going to follow Henry Rollins's advice. That is, when he feels like he's backing away from something or scared of it, he knows that's when he has to run and jump into it, because that's the only way to grow.
I'm going to Jo-L's party on Saturday with Sarah. I am not exactly excited, but after I go to the party, I will be bidding Jo-L a not-so-fond good-bye. I feel like that will be good too. Life is so much easier when there are no boys involved.
And lastly, the last little thing to change is that just now, my favorite pen ran out of ink. I have others (of a different model) waiting to replace it, but I was a little sad as I threw the old, faithful pen in the trash bin. :(
Well, best get back to work. This entry is probably pretty boring already, eh? *laughs* Sorry 'bout that. *shy*
