Once upon a time my job is really cool, but also suuuuper boring. I keep myself entertained by reading, watching hulu, and bugging my friends until they start texting me back. super fun. This morning a good friend @JordanHaws (I have no clue how blogs work so I'm mixing all my knowledge I've accumulated through twitter, instagram, etc. haha)told me about her new blog. So of course I read it to burn time. Then decided I wanted to make one too. To burn more time. Guess what I've been doing for the past 2 hours. Holy cow I don't get how people make their blogs all cute. I apologize for the poor quality of mine, but it's as good as it's gunna get. Suckit @BrittanyStaley and @LisaOgles and @NicoleGneiting and all you other people who have super cute blogs... mostly I'm just jealous haha. Anyways, Just a little more background and then onto the main event. Be excited! Um, yeah so my job is boring, and I work all-friggin-day on Mondays. yay. Lastly, my husband is gone for the ROTC for a month with no form of communication except through letters. not email. I'm talking old school write with a pen letters. cool. Actually I'll probably have a lot of fun with it. Thank you @BrookeSmith for some great ideas. Hopefully this blog will help me stay less-bored while he's gone. Ok sorry I get distracted but that's pretty much all you need to know.
MAIN EVENT:
As I mentioned I came into work today dreading it, then getting excited for the prospect of my new blog (also whenever I write "my new blog" in my head I think of jeopardy, the price is right, or some other similar TV show where they announce the prizes in that super corny/cheesy voice). I had started creating "my new blog" when in walks someone I had hoped I'd never see again. Gretchen. The graduate student who is interning with my Boss's Boss's Boss. perfect. See, about two weeks ago she came down to where I work with the Boss's Boss's Boss and introduced herself and said she would be spending some time down here with me this summer. Not sure if I just forgot about the encounter, or purposefully blocked it out of my memory. But here she was. yay. Luckily the week before I had spent one of the mornings organizing the office. So at least it was clean. I pulled her up a chair, the whole time my mind running a mile a minute trying to compile a list of different things I could talk to her about (yeah I really do that when I know I'm going to talk to people... I suck with words). At first things went pretty well. I was actually able to talk to her about my job and what I do for a good hour. Which if you knew about my job you would know how big of an accomplishment that is. I was very pleased with myself. We then got to talking about life, her job, her husband, her baby, my husband, how he's gone, then blogs.. and eventually silence. See Gretchen isn't the most talkative of people. and we all know I can talk people's ears off... yeah right. So I went back to "my new blog". Unfortunately all I wanted to write about was Gretchen... good thing I'm so sneaky sneaky.
Yes I could be considered a creeper. Yes I snuck a picture of Gretchen without her knowing. Yes if you could see the computer screen clearly in the picture you would find that I'm blogging about Gretchen right in front of her. Seriously though, that's where she sat, just staring at me while I "worked". super fun.
I love my job.
Thank you Gretchen for making my day eventful.
