oh right, i have a blog

Sometimes I just have nothing to feed it.

I just found out that my boss is retiring March 1, but not from my boss, which is interesting. I guess I'm the last to know. I wonder when he'll tell me. I know I often complain that I do nothing at work, but the truth is if I suddenly got really busy I'd be pissed about it. The tiny workload is perfect for being a student and a certifiably obsessed blog reader. If they hire some young hot shot manager with all kinds of ideas about how to change office dynamics or actually utilize a few of my talents, I'm going to shit. Or quit.

The New Year is starting very slowly. I got sick two days before we were supposed to throw a New Year's Eve party. It still happened, and it was still fun, but I was extremely disappointed. I didn't feel like drinking at all. I'm afraid my lack of energy had a negative affect on the party. I didn't make pizza as promised. I didn't make Pomegranate martinis as promised. I was glad other people got tired and ended the party before midnight, glad my friends don't judge their own coolness by how hard they party on the night when partying should be hard. I didn't even get out my chair to say goodbye. I'm sorry.

I just started classes for my new major, Communications. I think overall the classes will be more enjoyable than they were in I.T., but what I'm realizing is that in technical courses there is simply less work. The concepts are harder so they don't overload you. In fluff majors like Communications it's all busy work, because the concepts being taught are the opposite of rocket science. I can handle it, but I'm scared about correct MLA format and the dreaded "group project."

God, how boring. I guess they can't all shoot out of the gate like 2006 did.
