So it's March 7th. It is Remi's birthday. He is eighteen. That is sooooo weird for me. Remi was kind of my baby so it's just a strange feeling. He has a picture posted on his myspace page of him when he was really little. He was too short to reach the keys on our piano but he was trying nonetheless. He is at the lower end just playing away with a huge grin on his face. It's kind of a big shock to me that he's eighteen now. I know he's not my baby but.....it sure felt like it. He's kind of like a twin........sort of. In a weird way. It's hard to explain.
Life continues pretty normally in Salt Lake. I spend a lot of time by myself at home. I go to work and come home and that's about it. Not that I have too big a problem with that but it gets old after a while. I feel very......stuck in limbo so to speak. I'm here and living life but not really living it. Things are just...I feel like a stick in the mud. Let's put it that way.
Work is going well. I will be hired full time next Thursday. That's the plan anyway. I'm a temp to hire right now but made such a name for myself by doing the boring stuff that they decided to keep me. :) They were actually fighting over who would get me permanently for a while. I think, with Teresa being so pushy, I'm going to shipping. At least for a little while. Teresa is the lady in charge of purchasing and she's kind of the crotchety old lady type. She pushes for things and usually gets them. She is trying to set me up with the guy that is her assistant and I'm totally not attracted to him. He's a nice guy but not my type. Anyway. I think that she is trying to push to get me to be part of shipping and receiving full time since they are in dire need of an assistant. Our company was just bought by LabCorp so a lot of procedures have changed. I tend to be very willing to do whatever is asked of me so I am a hot commodity for a lot of people apparently. The main thing that I'm worried about is the raise I'm supposed to be getting. That combined with my tax refund, whenever I get around to filing my taxes, will make me so much happier with my situation.
I miss my family more every day. I know I say that a lot but living without them is not something I like doing. Maybe it's living too far to be a part of the things they get to do that I don't like. I don't know. I think that I have a really bad attitude about my situation right now and it's affecting everything I do. I hate going out because I have a very prejudiced view of the people around me. It's really dumb.
Well, that's me at the moment. If anything exciting happens, I'll keep ya posted.
