a few short months ago, i was moaning & groaning that i was BORED BORED BORED with work & other things. everyone else (not literally) seemed to be moving, having babies, or both, while we were holed up in baltimore doing who the hell knows what. time has passed, as it tends to do, & we're still here. some things have changed & some haven't. funny how one often wants what one doesn't have. never satisfied. i started a new job with lots of possibility. only then did i realize how great certain parts of my old job really were, namely the easy relationship i had with my boss. he made me bat-shit crazy sometimes but... a lot of the things that inspire me about the new job are all the possibilities for change. it seems like an uphill battle & i find myself feeling bored more of the time than i thought i'd be on my 4th week. why am i always bored? it's not like i'm the brilliant kid in class who already knows how to do everything. maybe i should just get the tv fixed. then i don't have to spend any time thinking about life & what i could be doing with it. i could just watch some crap as the hours disappear. hm. turns out, the easy way isn't always the best way. discomfort can inspire growth, i think.
had an enlightening discussion with a coworker on the way home from work today. turns out i'm not the only one who finds a prominent member of the staff to be disingenuous. good to know.
that's about it, really. d went with me to water the garden this evening. it's looking ok although i think the squirrels have ravaged quite a few of the seeds. my attempted fall / winter crops include: lettuce, spinach, kale, collards, carrots, beets & green onions. still have a few jalapeno & bell pepper plants growing like crazy. what to do with all the jalapenos?? katie suggests making green chilis. maybe....
& some things stay the same: we still have lots of rats, crime, few trees & little grass
