Well so much for enjoying a starbucks coffee last earlier today. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if it's me staying up this time last night or drinking coffee today that has me still awake at this hour. Good thing we have a delayed arrival of 11 AM tomorrow.
The weekend was pretty quiet overall. It was productive to an extent since I got my room organized some more. Been purging things that I no longer need/have a use for but started with my clothes mainly. I don't think my style has changed much except I accumulated quite a bit, going back to 2003. The house doesn't really have that much closet space, so just really need to decrease what I have.
Other than that, lost my phone Friday so that sucked a bit. It fell off of my jacket while I was riding the bike. The phone did have a feature that let me locate it/send message to it, but alas whoever found it didn't plan on returning it despite of me offering to give them money for it/numerous times it was called. It sucks people would do that but ah well, guess they balance the ones who returns things they found like the one time I dropped my phone on the bus. It didn't have a passcode at that time, that I felt vulnerable that they would see every text/e-mails/pictures the phone has. But alas, the most they did was look through my contacts and call my mom to tell her they found her son's phone. I was so touched by what they did I ended up getting them a thank you/gift card as a token of my appreciation.
Getting back to the now, work's been kicking my ass the past few weeks. It's like all its pieces keep acting up one way or another, and as much as it's not because of my doing, it still sucks. I find myself dreading to get up and come in, knowing that a call or e-mail would come in saying something's wrong with it. I still have so much to learn about it, but all these problems happening are forcing me to learn quicker so just gotta look at it that way, but it still SUCKS!!! I put my resume out just to get a feel for jobs out there but will see. My goal is to really know about the product I'm supporting in and out, but will have to learn it on my own.
Well, sleepiness is sneaking in. Gotta take advantage of it, nite!

New Beginnings
Well, so much for leaving DC after the summer. Between those three posts from the past year, and now, I ended up buying a place which we moved into late November. It still threw me off some eventhough the move was only within a 10-mile radius. It was a good location, pretty close to downtown as small as DC is. There is a metro station that is walking distance, shops, grocery stores nearby as well. Though with it being cold, I haven't had a chance to explore the neighborhood more by walking but I'm familiar with it to an extent. Though there's always something nice when you discover hidden gems when you just walk around, like I used to do.
Work's alright I suppose. I moved to a different position few months ago, and learned the system that my agency has implemented. However, people would still e-mail/call me about stuff that I used to do. Granted I can do them, it adds up if one or two people would contact me everyday about little issues while I'm trying to focus on things I should be doing. It's getting frustrating, and the people that they hired at my previous role are not too technical either so that's definitely not helping since they pass on everything to us now. Maybe if they try, I'd be more understanding but that isn't always the case so bleh, it's annoying.
Whew, I'm definitely gonna try to post more though instead of talking about it, I should just start doing it. I miss just having an outlet to put my thoughts down, and being able to look back and see how I was feeling, and what my concerns and hopes were at that certain time.
Yesterday, I ended up taking off since I had to go to the dentist for a routine checkup. It just wasn't something I had growing up, ha! 16 yrs old and I only went to the dentist once, and it was at our school which was mandatory. I drank a lot of soda when I was younger, not knowing it messes up the teeth's enamel, so my teeth are a smaller than they could be otherwise. Will work on that later though, and will be getting braces instead. It's a tad expensive but it'll help fix my teeth, maybe making me feel better about myself too? I don't really think about my teeth too much, since I still have a nice smile (well I've been told haha) but when I see people with really nice teeth, I get jealous.
A photographer was doing some natural portrait series back in 2009. I did it for free, well not free I guess since she gave us a choice of either getting paid, or getting a copy of the pictures which I chose. She said she really liked my smile, yet picked one where I really wasn't..Huh!? But getting back to the point, the pic shows the gaps that'll get fixed when I get braces. I'm curious how it'll change my look/how I feel about myself. I've gotten used to it ya know, though I'm really hoping it'll sssstop my mild lisp. My tongue sticks out a bit with the 's' sound so yea, that I'm looking forward to.
