New Job Dread

Mood: sick with dread

I have this feeling of dread to the point where I actually feel a bit physically ill. I really hate the whole process of learning a new job, and that is only magnified by the fact that I am going from a ridiculously easy job to a challenging one. That's good, I know, but it makes this feeling far worse.

I'm not afraid of failing. That's not it. I just hate not knowing what I am doing. And I know I have a long, steep learning curve ahead of me.

I keep trying to picture myself working at Prints Plus for more than a couple of years, and I can't. Of course, my future-vision is clouded by these newbie blues.

I'm almost ashamed to post this entry, but I need to vent. And really, that's the whole point of a blog, isn't it? If all was peaches-n-cream, it would make for bland reading.

So enjoy!

I Remember DOCTOR WHO

Mood: delighted

Having switched from Blockbuster to Netflix for my DVD rentals, I can now rent some 30-odd episodes of DOCTOR WHO. First up was "Earthshock", one of my all-time favorite episodes, and perhaps the saddest. The DVD is fantastic, with some of the best extras I've seen on any DVD. It is definitely on my must-buy list.

Now if I could only get this on a t-shirt:

"Brave heart, Tegan."

Rice (Ummm...) Pudding

Mood: confused

So the rice pudding didn't quite turn into pudding. It was more like raw rice in condensed milk. Strange, but the rice didn't absorb the milk at all.

Maybe next time I should use a recipe?

Time Off for Good Behavior

Mood: lazy

I worked out my schedules at Crown Books and Prints Plus so that I could have a couple of days off. I've been very lazy today, not doing much more than fixing lunch and playing video games. I've even been too lazy to go rent a movie. (I watched CURSED last night; was it supposed to be scary? I just found it funny.) I'll go visit Joey probably around 5PM or so.

I think I'll make tomorrow more productive. I really need to get back into my exercise routine. I haven't been to Bally's in months! I need to work on cleaning the living room, too. It's a shambles....

For now, though, I'm just trying to make this time off as relaxing as possible. I don't want time to go too fast, either.

Woops! I better keep an eye on the rice pudding I'm cooking....
