Yawn...

So, May came and went and now we are in the midst of June...

Quick recap of the last month:


*Started the UCI job
* Hung out with Eve & Paul a bunch
* Scored "red carpet" treatment at a Fashion Island sushi place
* Got into a bunch of family squabbles
* Went home for Mother's Day Weekend
...and probably lots of other stuff I can't completely think of at this current juncture in time...

So here I am, in the throws of contemplation...

My job is not at ALL what I thought it would be...not even close...I have to do minor accounting procedures (gasp!!) which is just fugly...not anything I would have EVER signed up for (hence the degree in English and Philosophy)!! After a few days of scattered tears, about a box of kleenex, and the research and support of my fella (finding me new jobs and cheering me up) I have decided to take each minute as it comes and make the best of it. I am settling in and the people are warming up, so I suppose all is good in the world. :) As a former co-worker used to say when stuff got complicated, the sun is still shining so what the hell...And you know something? This mentality is paying off, as I had my first review today and I have actually been given the opportunity to expand a bit...I need to work on my patience, because I guess it really does pay off.

So yesterday was one of the worst days I have had in a long time...My bank account got hacked into (somewhat) and I have to close my accounts and get new ones...A check Julie had given me, which just so happened to be blank, went the way of the do-do and my only guess it was stolen out of my wallet. My AAA card is missing and I have mysterious charges on my transaction report...Good times...Found out there are some family members with seriously grave (kinda redundant statement) health problems...All in all, yesterday was such a bummer. To brush it off, Julie and I went to TK Burger and ate dinner on the beach...A great way to decompress...

Tonight I am hanging out with Don & Vanessa & Luis...should be good times
