Where Am I?
Yesterday I went to work. I WENT TO WORK! It was the most delicious thing I’ve done in years. I arrived at a cafe with wifi Back Fence PDX’s Corporate Headquarters at 10am to meet my business partner where we worked for two hours on Back Fence PDX and then we went to a networking lunch for other business professionals where we saw lurvely people who were not three years old businessy people and we talked about Winnie the Pooh business and Quantum Physics (which I actually can have an intelligent discussion about because I truly do love the topic and Brane theory too, which is also totally awesome). And then my business partner and I went to a different cafe with wifi Back Fence PDX’s satellite headquarters and then, let me tell you what we did. WE MET OUR INTERN! WE HAVE AN INTERN!
AN INTERN, PEOPLE!
Hello to Intern Nathalie! You’re great!
And then I came home and changed out of my work clothes and said, “Phew, I had a toooooooough day.” And Steve looked totally spun because being with a three year old ALL DAY LONG is challenging to say the least. And I really feel great, and several times I thought, oh my god going to work is AWESOME. I LOVE WORK! I LOVE WRITING PROPOSALS AND NETWORKING AND TALKING TO OTHER ADULTS!
This is all to say that those of you who might read this at a day job, just take a moment to hug your office chair, because work is great. Okay, working for yourself is great. I LOVE IT! And soon Back Fence PDX really will have an office, because two months ago we said, “We need an intern” and then, suddenly, we had one.
Now, I have more work to do.
And I wrote a very funny blog post for Chris at Surviving Myself, which will post tomorrow, I’ll remind you again.
Truly, speaking to adults for a whole day made me want to dance on the rooftops and sing the glories of being alone from the mountain tops. It was wonderful.
GOING TO WORK ON BACK FENCE PDX THINGS IS BETTER THAN SEX, I TELL YOU!
It’s not yelling, it’s singing. Or shouting. Or yodeling.
Did you or did you not feel totally un-sorry for Steve when you got home.
Didn’t you want to yell in his face “SEE? It’s not easy is it motherfucker? It’s not as easy as I make it look is it?”
Or is that just me.
Crissy: Yes. Sweet Jesus, yes.
Hurray for my internship! I am going to intern the shit out of Back Fence PDX.
There are days when I literally skip out to my car because I’m just so hap, hap, happy to go to work I can’t even help it.
I mean,
I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF BEING A MOMMY!
I’ve been trying to think of ways out of my day job. So far the only thing I’ve come up with is pregnancy, which unfortunately results in a baby, which I would have to pay money to take care of and I’m just too broke to do that. So… I’ll keep working my day job.
You know, I’m just so proud of all the happy, well-adjusted mothers on this blog! Who I’m certain are raising happy, well-adjusted children!
Yes, I’m just sure of it. ::rolls eyes::
Nathalie: Yes you are.
Kristen: As do I.
Zoe: Can I just say, OH MY GOD ZOE MOTHERFUCKING TROPE READS MY BLOG!
Nels: Thank you. Now you know what your mama went through.
I’m sure. I was a little spoiled brat when I was younger… sorry Mom!
This makes me appreciate my job a little bit more…but not enough to stop me from constantly wishing I wasn’t here.
I need a job. I did laundry and cleaned all day. I fucking hate it; my knees hurt, my back hurts and its bullshit.
I used to feel fine when I had a 9 to 5.
Sheesh!! Is there something wrong with me?
quantum theory is awesome: i’ve got a few books on the subject myself.
Jeez – you like yelling don’t you?
