After having a few days off from work for vacation, it’s time to go back to work. I can’t believe it’s already September. It’s really odd that I only have a few months left with my current position until I am done.
After chatting with a friend, he told me that I should start looking for a position now with companies I’d like to work for. Thoughts on this? I should have something lined up in June or July of next year.
Sigh.
So, yeah… it’s approximately 7:45 a.m., and I’ve already done some cleaning and even done some laundry. Today is going to be extra cool simply because even though it’s technically Thursday, it’s really Friday for me! After working about a year and two months, I’ve finally decided to take some vacation days. I’m also taking Tuesday of next week off for an extra long vacation. How awesome is that? I’d say it’s much deserved.
Today, I’ll be completing a rather large part of my logistics/other stuff for the mentoring workshop which will take place on Sept. 9th at the AFL-CIO. I’m getting a little excited for it, but at the same time, I’m a little sad. This will be my last scholarship workshop to plan. I’ve got roughly 10 months left until I need to start looking for my next place of employment… and I’m already having “lasts.”
I’ve recently discovered the amazing feeling I have when I don’t go out. I sleep well on the weekends, I wake up full of energy, and it has been saving me a lot of money! Why didn’t I think of this sooner?
I think my business trip to Las Vegas must’ve done something to change my attitude about spending money/consuming copious amounts of alcohol. It’s been a good change so far.
Question. Anyone familiar with these new location-based social networking sites like BrightKite?
So, I was hanging out with Steven at this bar, and someone came in that I did not know. He was rockin’ a sleeveless shirt and shorts and decided that he thought he knew me. He gave me potatoes (you know… the thing with your fists), and was like, “Hey man!”
I looked at him with a puzzled look on my face and thought, “Should I know this guy? Who is he, and why did he violate my space?” I said hello, and he stood there. Next thing we know, dude interrupts conversation to ask, “Hey, do y’all wanna get a fish sandwich?” Clearly we did not want a fish sandwich. We politley said no and went about our business. He stayed around for a few more minutes posted up against the wall.
Random.
Attempting to get everything organized will take some time, but it’ll be worth it in the long run. I need to figure out a way to sync/integrate all the cool tools available out there. Suggestions?
So, I found this article on CNN.com about 2 crazy ass bitches who thought it’d be a good idea to get belligerent while on an airplane.
One of them hit a flight attendant with a bottle of vodka, and the other… she tried to open the cabin door IN-FLIGHT because she wanted “fresh air.” Seriously?!
I wish I had been on this flight. How dare she waste alcohol like that. As if. Read more here.

This concerns me a little. I mean, does it hurt while you’re eating it? Discuss.
Chicago was pretty amazing. I went for the American Federation of Teachers Convention and had a blast! I think this is probably my most fun union to work with as the teachers have some pretty amazing personalities.
So yeah… short weeks are great. Not only is the week short, but we have a long weekend! I’ll be spending the fourth with a few friends more than likely getting wasted while watching the fireworks.
More to come later… oh yeah… add me on Twitter if you want. My name is drivenidealst.
Have a stellar Tuesday!
Seriously? Who says that?
