Catch up

Sorry for the silence. I've been very tired and uninspired. I haven't written because I knew I would only be bitching, and that's no fun. But a friend asked me to write anyway, so here I go. You've been warned. A few things before I dash off for work:

1. I did pass the CNA state boards. As soon as I get my card in the mail, I'll start applying. Also, I think I need my CPR card. I had one, gave it to my instructor and she lost it. So I might have to take the class again. I know I can re-order it, but I don't know the name of the woman who taught the one-day class. Everything was done in such a disorganized, janky way.

2. I started a temping job up in LA last week. For the month of July. This means I commute 3 hours a day (1.5 each way)- work traffic is no joke. I'm at the office ten hours a day. I feel like my head is going to explode. Mostly from boredom, even though it's a pretty intense production/ development office. A lot of stuff going on there. I try to remember that I'm very lucky to be there. A lot of people would kill to be in that office, even if only for the summer.

3. The homeowner flew back yesterday and will swing by to look at the house either today or tomorrow. I spent my 4th of July weekend painting the backyard fence in preparation for him. Exhausting work.

4. I'm really hooked on this Rascal Flatt's song, "Fast Cars and Freedom." Not a huge country fan, but there are a lot of great songs in the genre.

Gotta run. I'm behind schedule. Have a great week!

  3. The lyrics to that Rascal Flats song ARE pretty touching. I'm still not sold on the sound, but I'm sure after I hear you play it a few thousand times, it may grow on me, as your songs are want to do. ;)

  5. What a long commute to/from work. Can you take the bus or do you have to drive? Hopefully you can take the bus and read books or listen to Rascal Flatts to help pass the time. Sounds like you're working a pretty interesting place!

    I know what you mean about country songs. I haven't been into the scene for a few years, but some of those old performers like Dolly, Kenny, and the Judds really get me going and make me misty eyed! I'll have to check out Rascal!

    I hear what you're saying about country music. It's been a few years since I've been into that scene, but some of those old performers like Dolly, Kenny and The Judds can really get me going and make me misty eyed. I'll have to check out Rascal!

    Um, sorry for the duplicate comments! I posted the first one but it didn't show up on the screen so I reposted it!

  8. Booga~ ha ha, well, I put it on a CD to listen to in my car so that I wouldn't torture you more than needed!

    Avitable~ Yeah, I know you do!

    Kara~ Ha ha, yeah, I figured there was a technical glitch or something : ) I could have taken the bus, but I was already getting up at 5:30, and if I'd taken the bus I'd have to get up at 4:30 a.m. Anyway, that job is finished. I should just move back to LA so I won't have to worry about the commute anymore.
