Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to class I go. Oh yay...I have a reason to live again, I was feeling much too relaxed and peaceful during the winter break. Today, my 8am chemistry class (it's official, I am a masochist- seriously, I live an hour away from campus...you do the wake up math) allowed me to do something I haven't done in along time...so long in fact, that I can count it as a new thing! I saw the moonset/sunrise. It was breathtaking. Now if only I could see it at 9am instead of 6 something I would be in total bliss.
In other news, I think I have hit the wall at work. My desk is a mess (which, for an OCD neat freak perfectionist is synonymous with the 9th circle of hell), my to-do list is so long I wouldn't be able to finish it in a year even if I quit school/stopped sleeping & eating/and worked 168 hour weeks, and the staff and board are constantly wondering why I can't be the IT/HR/Admin/Outreach coordinator/accountant/banker/archive file clerk/mailroom clerk/PR and marketing/god-knows-what-else in the 20 hours a week they give me to work...that I still don't get paid for because there is NO MONEY IN THE BANK! I literally sat at my desk today and just stared at it for a good minute and a half, frozen wondering should I bother to clean up my desk or if should I try to accomplish a few things on my ever expanding to-do list? Our supply closet is a complete wreck* despite my efforts to keep it organized. Seriously people?! You can't even put shit where it is suppose to go?! I even put labels for you!!! A kindergartner is better at this than you are!
But, there might be a light at the end of the tunnel! :-) I have a job interview tomorrow with another business in town. One that can actually pay its employees! Oh the luxuries! Wish me luck! :-)
*I would include a photo of the wreckage, but as a nonprofit all of our furniture is donated and we have a very distinctive colored filing cabinet that might give away my super secret identity (and then the world would be doomed because I could no longer fight crime under the cover of darkness under my assumed identity of Neat Freak Girl!...And yes, the "!" is part of my name).
