Capturing a moment of cube life
I can�t help but laugh at the irony as I sit here in my small cubicle at work eavesdropping on my �cube mate� on the other side of the wall. She is on the phone constantly and here are the topics she discusses � a lot: *Her new blackberry (her husband just got his and she was going to get a regular cell but darn it all if it wasn�t cheaper to go the blackberry route!) *The CRUISE she is going on to the Bahamas in less than 5 days!!! *The flight to Vegas she just booked for her trip in June!!! *The fact she�s lost more than 10 pounds in a week due to being on a diet meant for patients going in for cardiac surgery!!! Okay now here�s where I say I�m not really bitter � a bit bitter but it�s not like she doesn�t deserve it � her husband is retired from a really good job, they don�t have any kids living at home (he has 2 from his first marriage). So I can�t begrudge them their happiness�.I just don�t need to hear about it ALL freakin� day long! I could try and drown her out with my radio but I�m sure the others around me would be pissy with me for that. I could try and block her out by using headphones etc except that I am on phones off and on throughout the day and um that would be wrong. Just for shits and giggles here�s my list of things going on the last month! *Death of a relative *$500 brake job on car *Husband in car accident (whiplash and concussion) *Car totalled�buh-bye brake job! *Other car acting like an ass and costing us money we don�t have. *Receiving uncle�s car as gift that is costing us $1900 money we learned we will never recoup cause this car is unsellable (it�s a tank that no one will buy and has a lot of other issues) *Best friend�s mom dealing with really crappy health care issue (the latest is she�ll have to visit a haematologist.) But surprisingly I am not all �WHY ME GOD�..WHY ME????� Well today I am not. I have my moments � who wouldn�t? I�m kind of looking at it like life happens. I�ve had amazing times and now I am having not so great times. I can rail against the �unfairness� or what have you but is it really unfair? I�m going through tough times. Everyone does. I�m not exempt. Someday I will look back on this entry and go Holy Crap I cannot believe how much shit we went through those few months!! Wow, how did we ever survive?! Or at least that�s what I�m hoping!
