As we know it and I feel fine

I’ve got a case of the Mondays…

I hate the ‘mondays.’ I always feel kind of stupid for feeling blue, like I have anything that horrible to feel ick about. Even if I haven’t found the love of my life yet (actually, I have a few times now and they just don’t see it… ; ) ), even if I am massively in debt to the government for my education and to Visa for everything that went with my education, even though I don’t own…well, anything really… things could be so much worse. So what gives me the right to get down on myself and my current situation?

Probably nothing.  But I suppose that is what it is to be human. We are selfish and the world really is all about us. No matter how much we do think about others and try to do the right thing and make things better for others; if we don’t take care of ourselves…we can’t take care of others. I suppose that some of us need more for ourselves than others. Many of us take more than we need. The people that piss me off are those who try to take it all. whatev -

Last night I allowed myself to be dragged into a political "discussion" (i use the quotes because said person only recited talking points and did a really good impersonation of Bill O’reily when he won’t let anyone else speak and just keeps blathering on) with someone who I knew I would 1. never agree with; 2. never change his mind; and 3. would never allow to change my mind. A total waste of time that only made me mad and served no purpose other than to remind me that I had become lax in my ability to not engage in that type of yelling. It’s pointless and you end up looking as stupid as they do. Even more annoying is that this person was a newbie and I totally should have known better. Interns always try to engage in that petty partisan krap.

I think that’s the root cause of my ‘mondays’. I’m still a little annoyed as it happened in one of those places that you see as a refuge. One of those rare places you could go and you could get along with anyone. it doesn’t hurt that this place is overwhelmingly Democratic, but there are some regular Republicans with whom I have become friends.

I guess I just need to get over it and do better next time…

That really is all I have to say about the SOTU…so that is all I will say.

So I am sad today, I know I don’t post on my blog very often but Carina’s blog is completely gone now and that makes me sad because, really, she is inbetween jobs and has the time to update the world on her life now. I think this may go to why blogs are so popular with so many people. The vast majority of us post when we should be doing something else. Now that Carina is not working in an office, she doesn’t feel the need to sit at her computer and type away to all of us who are looking for something to keep us entertained inbetween excel spreadsheets, phone calls, news articles, planning documents, etc.

Oh well…so I guess it comes down to this: Carina, if you read this (because I still refuse to talk about my blog in real life) please start your blog again.
