phineasjonesmemes in the morning.
it's a beautiful day. again. we've had several of them - breezy and sunny and making me think it's becoming fall already. there are also pumpkins - at our farm, at many of the other farms around here. and we know how i feel about pumpkins. but i also know not to get my hopes up. better to expect at least one more bout of nasty, uncomfortable humidity. still, today is beautiful.
so, that job. i don't feel too sad about not having that specific job. i was well and truly warned that it would not be all good times there. and i don't feel it's really about me, since she didn't even really interview me. but. it's september again and i don't have anything better than potential temp jobs lined up. and that sucks. it feels awful. i feel awful about it. and it's worse because i had a lovely vision of what it could be like if i two choir jobs etc and now i have to adjust that vision to something less satisfying. and the challenge is to just get up and try to find something else, anything decent. instead of letting myself sink into that numb fog that is so inviting at times like this. i'm not sure how to make sure it doesn't happen.
for now, i'm going to try to be haiku tunnel about it all. if you haven't seen this movie (and you should, especially if you've ever been a temp or an office worker of any kind), i will explain this part for you. it's about josh who works as a temp. he loves his temp life. but he gets a job at this one law office where they ask him to go 'perm.' as soon as he does, he starts slacking. many things go awry, hilarity ensues. the worst thing he does is procrastinate on mailing 17 very important letters. he does this for so long and to such disastrous effect that he decides he has to quit. when he tells his boss that he quits, the boss doesn't let him. he calmly and matter-of-fact-ly (and with entertaining hand gestures) tells josh to
-go back to your desk
-settle down
-focus
-and catch up!
and he repeats this and then has josh repeat it. and then josh goes back to his desk... and mails the letters out and yay.
