"Like I said, I'm super duper busy at work. By the time I get home in the evening, after over two total hours of commuting, missing my tea breaks and only taking a half hour for lunch, I'm spent. I literally sit in the office staring at a computer in the same position the entire day and staring into a computer screen when I get back is the last thing on my mind.
Work is going well. I really like who I'm working for and the people in my office. Slagging, or teasing, is a bit strong here, and the line is hard for me to find. They exaggerate a lot too, so it's hard for me to find the truth, and the proper line between things that are ok and not ok to slag about.
That being said, the actual work work part of my job is going well.
Today I set some people up on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, then integrated all three of these sites for them, changed colors and layouts, pictures and user names, then wrote a user guide for all three systems, tested each phase to make sure it was perfect, then got the okay from my supervisor and published them. It doesn't sound like it would take so incredibly long, but I have a tendency to be very thorough and it literally takes the entire day.
I've also been flagged as a spammer by Facebook. We've messaged tons and tons of people and finally FB has caught on. Now I can message about five before I get messages about verification of my humanity and blah blah. Its pretty fun though."
In other news I'm going to Galway this weekend and to the cliffs of Moher. Supposedly they're incredibly beautiful! I'm so looking forward to not being in the city. I miss the wild deserts of Arizona, haha, but really, the land that isn't claimed and fenced. Hopefully I'll get to do a bit of hiking on Saturday. I want to get down to the wildlife preserve in Wicklow sometime in the next few weeks, or go surfing over in Kerry. Yeah, I said surfing.
Last thing I want to add is this thing that happens to me daily. It's called my humble moment. Everyday, without fail, I do something absolutely stupid. Like last week I zoned out at the bus stop and fancied myself some one who people would mistake for a real Irish person. Then I got on a bus going the wrong direction, had to get off and wait for the next one. Ohhh humble moment. I did another one today, sitting on the top of the bus, big smile on my face, sunglasses on, some Jimmy Eat World on my ipod, when I realized that the bus had been sitting in one place for a LONG time. The bus driver was yelling at me to get off. I was in Dolphins Barn, pretty far off the original bus route. Once again, wrong bus. Humble moment.
I literally have to factor these silly moments into my daily life because inevitably, they will happen. And I laugh a little bit, then just move on to the next one. I'll be sure to keep telling you all my humble moments and you can relive the humility and hilarity with me.
