Becca’s Cyber Home

I’ve successfully finished my first week back at school! I had a paper due last night, and of course, procrastinated until the end. But, hey, the good news is that I can crank out 1500 words in under an hour now! They’re not the best papers I’ve ever written. Actually, some of them are mind-blowingly putrid piles of dog doo, but somehow, the profs totally dig them. For now, that’s all I ask.
The most notable event of the week was getting called to the carpet for a slip-up at work. I’ve been out of college and working in the “Real World” for about 5 years now, and this is the first time someone reported me to my supervisor. Nothing major, but I managed to build it into a major internal crisis, of course. You know, all that jazz about us being our own worst critics. Even so, sometimes it’s hard to really, truly care about it when you wish you could be somewhere else. I don’t like my job, but I still care how others think of me. So hearing that I dropped the ball, and then hearing that my boss wasn’t surprised about it really threw me for a loop. But, I’m recovered now! To show that I’m a good little corporate citizen, I signed up for time management training (gasp). Although, I worry that won’t help with some fairly extensive surgical enhancements of my memory, which seems to taking more breaks lately. Every time I’d lose my student ID in high school, my dad would tell me, “Becca, I swear to god, you’d lose your ass if it wasn’t bolted on.” Wow, Dad, who knew your words of wisdom would come back to haunt me all these years later???
