Well, to be honest I don't really have that much going on to update, but I have officially run out of websites to browse through to keep myself entertained at work, so here I am! My boss was out of the office Thursday through 2:00 Tuesday, and I left at 3:00 that day, soooo I haven't exactly been doing much. Yesterday he was working out of the office allllll day, which is okay because I came in late because I almost died from the world's worst stomach ache. Usually I recover from stomach aches or any kind of ache with just one pill or dose of medication since I rarely take meds, thanks to my pure hatred for them, but this time I had to take TWO super strong ones within 2 hours of each other to feel remotely better. It was terrible.
Work is getting much better because I feel like I've really learned a lot and can do much more than before, but it's still making me wonder if this is what I want to do the rest of my life.Maybe its just the field of law that I'm doing right now (I doubt it) but I'm still just not so sure. I certainly am going to start making moves towards other professions. First on the plate is looking into getting my real estate license since I could go through all of that while still holding this job. Since that's the kind of job you have to break into the field before you start making any money, it'll be perfect that I already have this job. Next couple of steps are following up on my absurd career ideas. Idea #1 - become a co-host on the View. Yes, that's right, I WILL be writing Barbara Walters and co. letters as to why they need me on the show. They desperately need a young voice that isn't a celebrity and certainly another blonde. That's where I enter. Next idea? Working on Survivor. I don't know what angle I'm going to use on that one, but they should still hire me.
It has been so rainy the past few days. Yesterday was actually a fairly heavy rain, whereas the previous few days were just cloudy with occasional sprinkles. Whereas fall is the best season back east, it is probably the worst season here. Still nice, don't get me wrong! Today it is in the lower 70's and by this weekend it'll be back in the 80's. Good thing too, I've already almost frozen to death. It was a nice reminder of what it is like to live somewhere cold. I keep thinking about whether or not I want to move back to the east coast in the next few years, and this has made me less interested in that idea and more interested in moving to a different park of California in a few years. I am, however, still very interested in moving to Europe for a year. A girl can dream, can't she? Or at least go for a few months and travel through all the cities. That I'm certainly doing at some point.
This weekend Isabella is coming back out to visit. I'll probably only get to see her Sunday but I'm still very excited. Between all the time I've spent working and then helping Donna with random projects we haven't gotten to meet many people yet. I'm actually quite content with this; my life is very fulfilled with just Zach, our pets, seeing my family out here and talking to my family at home. I didn't even think twice about any of this until Zach mentioned being excited to meet people on Sunday because he is doing a group motorcycle ride that the dealership he got his bike from does monthly. That kind of just shows me how content I have become with not being a typical 22 year old. I like it. Speaking of his motorcycle ride, I'm actually very excited for him. If I do get on the back of that thing anytime soon it will be so I can go on one of these rides with him. To me, that is the perk of having a motorcycle (that and getting through the atrocious LA traffic). Meeting up with a bunch of people and seeing the gorgeous scenery that Southern California, or any where for that matter, has to offer. They go up north for a while, grab something to eat, and then head back down. Sounds pretty great. Plus I wouldn't mind it if Zach was able to make a few friends, but like I said, it certainly isn't something I need yet.
I am starting to research easy, quick stops or things to see/places to eat on our way home for Thanksgiving. Should be some cool ghost towns or old diners that you wouldn't see in the rest of the country. I'm also hoping we'll be in Albuquerque quickly enough on the way home to go to this market I heard about where the Native Americans sell Turquoise. I have to look into it more, but I've really wanted to go there and didn't get to on the way out here. Speaking of which, I still have to ask my boss for time off for that whole week :/ kind of scared, even though I'm pretty sure he will say yes. I just feel bad being gone that long because I know he only takes of Thursday, and just recently did his assistant's start taking off the Friday after. I'm asking for the Friday before and that whole week off... yikes. I plan on just working extremely hard until then, especially because I need all the money I can get because I'd like to buy a new camera before doing another road trip.
I guess that is all for now. I'm pretty sure my boss is about to give me several more things to do, even though it is already 3:30 and I've just been sitting here the past 2 hours. That's how it works though. And honestly, I don't really mind because I get to do so much on the internet here that we haven't even bothered setting it up at home yet. When we do need the internet we just use Zach's iPhone. It's actually been quite nice.
