My Life and My Job

Things have been extremely hectic at work recently, partially because we're doing our Christmas mailing early. Check that, I'm doing our Christmas mailing early. Anyway, I often wonder how people can do my job (sales assistant) for decades. Today, one woman explained during lunch (we assistants are the only ones who use the lunch room to eat lunch in) that she doesn't mind whatever the reps throw at her because this isn't her career; her true job is at home. Wow. I don't think I could ever see things that way. Even if I do have kids, I'll never be able to devote my life 100% to them. Cripes. That just blew me away.

In other news, I wasn't able to fully concentrate on one of my favorite shows tonight. I kept flipping through magazine pages while watching West Wing. Why is that? Dare I say it didn't hold my utmost attention? And why I watched Law and Order instead of my roommate's Lost tape is beyond me. Sigh.

I'd also like to know why my recent prescription fill says that my insurance covered nothing (and that I still live at college) and why my throat is really sore. Arg. After falling asleep on the couch (because I couldn't go to my room without brushing my teeth and I didn't have the energy to do that), I now will return to my room. Will I have the energy to put my sheet on the bed or will I end up sleeping atop the flat sheet? Fascinating questions that will soon be answered. My bed! My room! My shower later this morning! My new (gifted) sheets! And a week from now I'll be home in L.A.!! Life is good.
