Confessions Are Good For The Soul

lyric · 03-15-2011, 05:37 PM

I confess that I sat in my office today and watched the second hand on the clock tick away, reading news stories about Japan, hollywood gossip sites, and wishing I were anywhere but at work... and it is only Tuesday. I just could not concentrate, nor did I care about concentrating. Bad employee.

I confess that even though I quit smoking in October, I've thought about lighting up almost daily during the last two months. One time I did sneak out onto the porch and tried to smoke a cigarette I'd hid from myself, reserving it for an especially stressful occasion, but it was disgusting, so I broke it into tiny pieces after the first drag and wondered what I ever started smoking for to begin with.

I confess that over the last several months I developed an embarrassing addiction to The Bachelor, and now I am glad it is over.

I confess that I miss this community and need to crawl back out of my cave more often.

I confess I didn't expect management to actually do anything about my request to re-evaluate my payrate.
I further confess that I was sure I would have to go to HR to have their compensation department re-evaluate it.
I confess I was only expecting maybe a $.50 raise out of it, because I work for a bunch of cheap bastids.
I confess I was absolutely blown away when management let me know today that I would be getting a $1.75 adjustment.
I confess it's quite a bit more than a coworker got last year when she asked for a reevaluation also.
And finally, I confess it makes me feel like I am really appreciated for all I do, and that my hard work, caring, and dedication are truely appreciated.

I confess... I'm so proud of you!

Also confess...
...I just woke from about a 4 hour nap, and have a bit of a headache
...already being yucky sick and having to walk two blocks each way in the pouring rain to do all the med stuff today sucked
...I forgot to tell the lab peoples today that I'm allergic to the tape they use to hold the cotton ball, so I have a nice red perfect impression of the tape
...the xray lady was really nice but kept talking about goats for some reason
...the MRI was much better than I remembered and I'm proud that not only did I not freak out, but I even fell asleep...lol
...the MRI guy looked and acted like Bill Nye the Science Guy and even had a little bowtie...he was silly and put my mind at ease

I confess,

I wrote this quick, snapped a pic of it, emailed it to myself, printed it,
wrote a lil note on it, and put it in her lunch to take to work today :-)

I must confess,

I cannot move out of my house fast enough and I wish it was the 31st now...If I don't move out soon, someone may have to bail me out of jail.

I received a wonderful text message at 5:30am, it was from my best butch friend in Ireland wishing me a Happy Saint Patricks Day...

I have a job interview this afternoon with Vera Bradley. They are opening a brand new outlet store and I am hoping to walk out of there with a job, instead of being told, we will call you and let you know if you get the job. I am torn between updating my resume and taking my bachelor's degree off of it, so I can get a job....It is so sad that I have to water down my resume, just to get a job.

I confess that I am fighting the urge to let it fly and watch it burn...

I confess that I can not stand passive agressive... Maybe it's because my mother does it so well... I just want to tell her... Say what you mean..

But she won't... She doesn't want to *Hurt* anyone or make them mad at her...

It's strange how she is a straight shooter with everyone but her family...

Me? I say.. tell them how you feel and if they can't see the truth in it, then bye bye...

I would do it for her, but it's not my place... Those are her truths and not for me to tell...

It's sad to know that one of the main reasons you don't go *home* is because you wouldn't be able to keep your mouth shut...

i confess -

- i'm a danger to my klutzy self at times, lol... (he threatens me with protective gear now..........)

- i have some secret projects planned, that i can't wait to tackle... involving pictures, writings & a lotta love♥

- a man that lives next door to me is a bit obsessive, and has knocked at my door about 6 times, i answered the first one...it was awkward and very annoying....the next 5 times i pretended i wasn't home.. (all within an hour and a half)....

- coming home from work, being home a couple of hours and then going BACK to work, is getting old, very old.. but of course, appreciative for the hours but soooo can't wait to not have to work a split shift again if that day ever comes! lol.

- it feels wonderful to be on a new , enhanced self journey after some weeks of inner demon slaying - successfully at that... it's all uphill from here.. i see more self esteem and self love in my future!

- he brings me peace, he brings me smiles, he brings me funny moments and brings me so much love...whether silly, stern or moony, Mtn is so wonderful to me.. and i've never felt such a confidence in anything in my entire life as i do with our relationship.. i'm counting my blessings daily, and taking care of what i need to, to make this happen soon! ♥ we rawk!
