This is an easy one - Once again, I already talked about him…
Dear D,
There’s so much I want to say, so little time. So I try not to say anything that’ll rock the boat. I am playing it safe. No need in causing a bunch of drama. I’d love to tell you about what I’m thinking and feeling, but it is not the time yet, I don’t think. I could be wrong. But, I’m unwilling to take that chance.
We’ll see.

Yet another example of a photographer who force me to have to choose just one photo to reblog when they are all amazing. With it’s intriguing imagery, bold colors, sharp lines, and nearly pristine feel, Matthias work is definitely worth perusing. Thanks CGUnit!
Dear Dr. Harvey,
At the time, I never appreciated your words of encouragement and your pushing me to be a successful person. I thought you were off of your rocker a lot of the times, but sometime around sophomore year, I started taking your words seriously. I was encouraged by our talks that year and I have gone on to be successful - rather than flunking out of life!
I hope to visit with you soon and talk with you. I know you’re doing well, and I appreciate all you’ve done for me and other students. You are an angel.

Dear John, the waiter at Outback,
You were totally rocking the day my friend and I sat at your table at Outback on 23rd. You were friendly and funny. It wasn’t an overbearing kind of “see me, I’m funny” type of funny, but the understated funny that stays with someone once they have left you.
I appreciated your suggestions on a drink - the Wallaby Darned is now my favorite drink of all time, and every time I have one, I think of you.
We went back a few times to see if we could catch you, but we never saw you again. Whereever you are, I hope you are doing well and enjoying life!

As I mentioned before, when it rains, it pours. I have been with the company for almost 8 years. I’ve mainly worked in the field in operations, but I did spend 2 years at our corporate office. Anyway, I was told by my bosses that we are currently overstaffed at my current office but that I can move into the same position at a different location. That sounded good, at first, but I know that this is just the beginning of the end. Banishing me to Siberia doesn’t really do anything about the overstaffing, especially when you offer someone else in my office more hours because I’m leaving. The new commute will entail a bus to a train, switch trains, then another bus and walking for 10-15 minutes. I need exercise, but not like that. Commutes should be uncomplicated, not printed directions worthy.
Then on the train today, I saw a guy I used to work with at the corporate office who might have a job for me. I’ll spiff up my resume and shoot it off to him on Monday night. This position would be way closer to home and only one train ride away.
I hope that I can move on from my current position. Since I am having no luck in my field (public administration/urban planning), I need to keep doing whatever I can do to make more money and build a more stable future for myself. I can’t count on getting married for financial stability like women of the past - I’ve got to do this all on my own.
Once again, I already talked about him…
Dear D,
Your making me pinky swear to not say awesome more than 5 times a day has just made me focus my efforts on other words, like awestastic, fantastic, epic and wonderful. I’m expanding my vocabulary!

My life is one big jumbled mess most of the time. There are slivers of sunshine on occasion, but I always have something that knocks me on my ass.
Earlier this week, my job asked me to temporarily take a position about 30 minutes further away from home than my current position. The hours are marginally better, but the commute will be close to 2 hours. I have an unlimited Metrocard, so that’s not a problem, but 2 hours? Thank God for Netflix and Handbrake. I’d probably die of boredom. It is supposed to be for a month, but I think this will be permanent. I wish the economy was better or I had better mojo so I could get a regular job in my field. My current employer has been there for 8 years, but it obviously time to move on.
Today, my landlord (we sublet) texted to say that he’s moving to Greece (!) and we’d either have to take over the lease or move out by the end of the month. Problem is, I don’t have that type of money to take over a lease and I already owe my doctor all of my spending money through December because of an insurance misunderstanding. (We thought that my visits were covered from day 1, but they weren’t covered until August. So I owe $125 per visit going back to January.)
Anyway, one of my roommates said he’d take over the lease but I’d still need to help come up with the security deposit. I think I can handle that, but it will take some creative accounting and delaying some things, including possibly not going home for Christmas or Thanksgiving.
When it rains, it pours.
Dear self,
Don’t give up. Just keep pressing on.
Love,
Ellie
