A monday

yes, a very original title. I went to a bookstore tonight. Like a real one with books not the online variety I usually frequent. There were lots of books and I sneezed my brains out which I doubt those around me appreciated as I tried to sneeze into my elbow while holding a magazine and flailed around looking ridiculous. Anyway. So, when did magazines start costing more than books? I was looking at one and it was $35! for a magazine! ok, so it was a design magazine and they do run more expensive but it was still a magazine. Crazy. Then I went to look at the books and tried to find one that I didn't remember the name or the author for. I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe that it would jump off the shelf or something. Well, it didn't. So I left with nothing. Which is fine. Really. I think the store kind of overwhelmed me. There were just so many books.

How's work you ask? Well, still not great but I feel relatively ok. I think I am loosening my grasp on my job a little and acknowledging it is ok that I might need to go do something else. I am bummed at how everything is looking like it's going down as it would be nice to be perceived as a good employee (since I actually am a pretty good one) but it is what it is. I can only control what I can control. Which is darn near nothing I might add. Last week I wrote my performance evaluation and my self eval. You might think its a little odd that my manager didn't write my performance evaluation but thats how she rolls. Oddly. The benefit to being told to write it myself is it only contains stuff I actually did. (I am trying to look on the bright side.) I turned it in last week but I don't think the boss has looked at it yet.

Well, that's just a glimpse at what's on my mind at the moment. Now, I think I'll go to bed.
