So I just hit my 2 year at my job. I honestly did not think that I was going to make it that long. I really thought that I was only going to be there for maybe a year, but oh well, I guess I really didn't think that I needed to go anywhere else. Also, i really enjoy the people that I work with. So many people have come and gone, and it really has been an experience thus far. But whatever......give me my 2 weeks vacation, my raise, and my 2 year badge, and let's call it a day. Once you get used to a place like that, and you feel like any day you can be on auto-pilot, and just coast through everything, it starts getting REALLY boring. I mean, there are the scant episodes where a cute girl will walk in, or some old lady will get bitten by a dog, or some dumb ass child slips and falls. (by the way....the old lady and dog bite thing...that was 2 days ago) I have grown accustomed to the people that I work with, and its almost like they are my second family, dare I say, my first family. I ONLY say that because I see them more than I do my own family. When I come in to work, at least 20 people say hi to me or make some kind of gesture. When i come home, its empty........usually a lot of lights are off, and I don't see any of my family until the next day. I can also be myself when I am at work, cursing....talking about obscene things......EVEN border-line sexual harassment, lol. The lewd conversations and the times I have with my co-workers never get old.

But the one thing that is bothering me is that, I know that i do not want to be there for the rest of my life......and if I am caught there for another 5 years, i'd like to be drawn and quartered. I had an associate bet me that I would still be working there in 2009. I staunchly replied, "There is no way in HELL that i will be here for another 2 years!!!" Another 2 years at that place, might put me in a higher position, but I honestly do not want to invest any more time at that place. One thing I have noticed, is that there have been people at my job that ask me, "Why are you here?" I just reply, "Because they hired me." Of course I do not plan to make a career out of working at Home Depot, if I was SALARIED.........then MAYBE.......MAAAAYBE. But other than that.........hell to the naw.

I'd much rather go back to school, learn Spanish, learn how to play the guitar & piano......and it seems like accomplishing those things is REALLY difficult. But it really isn't. I mean, it would probably take a LOT OF TIME.....but its not like it is impossible. I'm just not a person that will stick with things, i guess. For example, when I took japanese in high school, I was all gung-ho about completing it, but once it got hard, I stopped doing it. Now, i'd much rather learn Spanish than Japanese. I have never taken piano or guitar lessons, mainly because I do not own either one of those instruments. But getting one might not be that hard.....right?

*yawns* getting tired now.....BUT at least I am off tomorrow.......although my nephew is here (for some STRANGE-ASS REASON)...........maybe i can go see 300 or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles......


p.s. i'd really like to change my journal picture.....i wish i knew a photographer that could do that.......
