The definition of INSANITY
chronology of the day's events:
(not a particularly unusual day; just a plain old ordinary middle of the week day)
get up at 8,
do a 1/2 hr of work on my home computer for my 2nd job
get dressed, narf a bowl of cereal, fix my hair
go to work
lunch: come home, heat up some soy chicken nuggets while signing up for online bill paying of my cell phone
(the task i tried repeatedly from work without success). spend most of my lunch on this
pay my bill, which, since i didn't pay last month, is now $98
3:00 pm: home just long enough to throw some laundry in the washer
get in the car and drive to see my 2nd boss to go over some accts with him , which only takes 15 min (half the time it takes to get there and back)
stop at the gas station
wait in line
argue with and almost hit some guy who was in the way and acting quite stupid
get gas- a $38 debit
drive to the grocery store
check out
another $40 transaction
the cheap flea shit i tried to buy is not scanning, and of course it's the only one in the store
the lady tells me she can't sell it to me, which means i now have to go to the pet store and buy the expensive shit bc my poor son is trying to scratch all his fur off
go to the pet store, spend $46
get home, look for parking, put away groceries, knock a knife off the counter, pick up the broken pieces, switch the laundry, dose my son with flea treatment, and throw a pizza in the oven (the only frozen thing i bought amonst the fruit and veggies i'm supposed to be eating; but i'm hungry and making a salad is way too much effort)
so let's recap:
it's now 4:30,
i have been awake for 8 and 1/2 hours, i haven't had ONE enjoyable moment yet today
i've spent the entire day running around doing errands and 'to dos' or sitting at a desk
the kitchen is a total mess
the sink is full of dirty dishes
the clean laundry is sitting in a pile on the floor
i've spent $126 (in ONE day) of my measely $1200 paycheck that i just got monday
and tomorrow i have to give the laser people another $450 of that $1200 because i was cursed with satanic hair from hell that will never go away
i've eaten crap all day
the sun will set in a 1/2 hour - so much for exercise today
and i'm exhausted.
the last thing i want to do is go anywhere, but i've got a spanish lesson an hour away scheduled for tonite
and THIS IS THE AMERICAN DREAM????????????????????????
this is my life. not just today. everyday. for the past 12 years. no wonder i'm burnt out.
does this seem insane to anyone else but me? i'm sure it's less stressful if money wasn't always totally lacking, but still. this is not fun. and little moments of social get-togethers don't make up for this daily grind.
I
AM
DONE!!!
i don't get it. i really don't. how do people do this? how do people do this when they have to work 9-5? or have kids?
i don't want to play this game anymore!
