A sweater dress. That's it. Sounds simple - or so one would think, but I want this aforementioned dress to look great on me. Oh well.
I wear a lot of turtlenecks. They are easy and cheap. I am all about the ribbed turtleneck. When I was 15 my father would yell at me because he felt that only gays wore turtlenecks. None of my gay friends wear turtlenecks. Did they miss the memo from my dad about the dress code?
Today my 1st grader wanted to stay home because he was tired. Of course he went to school, but it amazed me how he has the chutzpa to even fight me on it. Maybe I was just more of a savvy liar when I was a kid and lied about the stomach ache.
I worked today. I have a job where I work about ten hours a week doing marketing for a chiropractic office. I found it on Craig's List. What can't you find on Craig's List, that's what I want to know. So, I was at work for my 3.5 hours. It's so normal. I can't get over the normalcy. Here, I go in, do my work, pee twice and that's it. Sounds normal. Not what I am used to by far. The dysfunction that took place in my last job was so extreme - I can't even say it's opposite. That requires it's own blog. Hell, it deserves it's own volume in a psych journal. Of course I miss it at times, the drama, inappropriateness, the lunch.
I love lunch. I love to go out to lunch. That was part of my last job, eating lunch with the boss. In the beginning we had a huge fight about paying. It turned into - your turn, my turn, your turn, my turn. When I quit, he brought on another friend, who also goes to lunch. I call it the Loser Lunch Club. Even when I was in it. It's not self deprecating - it's fact.
OK - so here is a thought, if you are being self-deprecating - but you are stating a truth - is it still self deprecating? How do I find out?
Probably the answer is on Craig's List.
