my goodness
Hi ladies. I’m sorry I haven’t kept in touch in a while. Life has been a little bit crazy. Mostly because of my job. It’s nuts. I’m paid to work 10 hours a day…but somehow, 10 hours a day isn’t enough. And for the stop and shop people, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough time…things have to get done. So i’ve been working 10-12 hours a day and not getting half of what i need to get done, done. It’s highly stressful (apparently i’m not good with stress). So i gave my two weeks notice. I can’t tell you how unhappy i’ve been in this job. I know it’s still new, but i can’t handle it. I’ve been dreaming about it, thinking about it non stop, talking in my sleep about it (i called tom steve, my manager’s name, in my sleep a couple weeks ago). Besides the stress, i have no life outside of it. I don’t mind spending 10 hours a day at work, as long as i like what im doing. But i hate it, so i gave my notice and i’ll probably go down to a full time, union, non managerial position with stop and shop. That will be decided sometime this week though. Hey, they could turn around and fire me all together–but then i’ll jsut find something else. I’m not worried, and i’m so much happier now that i wont’ be doing this much longer…i really am…even the hershey representative said so. the only good thing about the job was that i was eating kind of crappy and still losing weight because it was so physically demanding. I’ll just have to start eating better.
So, I’ve been a horrible friend lately too, which i am soo sooooo sorry for. I haven’t talked to any of you guys or posted or even replied to posts or anything. I miss Caitlin’s birthday completely (i’m sooooo sorry, happy birthday again), i missed craig’s birthday (remembered it 3 days before and then forgot it). So i’m sorry guys. I’m gonna try and be better (notice the try :)…i’m kind of ditsy when it comes to birthdays to begin with).
So what’s been going on with everyone else? I miss you all. I really wanted to go out dancing last night and i was sad that none of you were here to go dancing with. I tried to get dianne, chuck, and Tom to go into manhattan to a club with me, but no one wanted to go, so we just went to a bar, which was fun, it was a really good bar/pub and the bartender had an irish accent which was cool. Plus they took a lot of money off of our bill (it was like 20 dollars a person and we drank quite a bit). But still, I missed you guys a lot. How are you all doing? HOw are the jobs? The boys? The vacations (for the lucky of us :))? I’m gonna go christmas shopping with my mom now but i want to hear how everyone is. I miss you all!

Hi Jen! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been so miserable with your job, and I hope things start to go better for you now that you’ve quit! And if you ever feel the need to go dancing badly enough, just hop on a flight out here to Cali…you know I’ll be there for you! I miss you roomie!
