So it's 12:46 AM and I'm typing this up. Why am I up this late even though I have to get up at 6:30 AM? Damn good question. I'm going to say that it's because I've mastered the art of compressing deep sleep into 3 hours somehow. Like Batman. (Okay that was a TOTALLY geeky reference. Please ignore.)

By the way, all those who were EAGERLY awaiting a new pic of the week. WAIT ON SUCKAHS! I'me taking it tomorrow before going to work.. we'll see if I can do some of it at work or not.

I suppose things around here are starting to settle down. I'm getting an idea of how people function at my workplace, who to be around, who to slightly avoid because their egos are through the roof, etc. It's interesting when people try to tell ME how to say words with an American accent. I think it's because I'm new and they think that they can boss me around or some shit. Whatev. Let 'em get on their soapbox for a month or so, if that gives them joy/a sense of fulfillment. I totally expect this to happen at any workplace I join, so it's not like I'm surprised.

Meryl Streep (my fave actress) had a quote that makes a lot of sense:
"Real life isn't like college. It's a lot like high school."

It's true, there are cliques, there are things you don't know but are automatically assumed to have known, there are insecurities to deal with, and of course, lots of pimples. Okay maybe not that as much. Similar quote from American Beauty. Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) talks about giving advice to his daughter about difficulties in life, etc.

"I could tell Jane that all these things get better when you're older, but then I'd be lying."

Touche. And with that, I bid adieu.
