Frustration


2169, originally uploaded by nicolemonet2002.

Frustration is spending 2 hours using the "not quite up to New York City standards" public transportation of LA to apply at a bookstore... Only to discover that they are in fact NOT hiring. Despite what you were told on the phone a few days prior.

In response to the great waste [which is what we will now call the total of 4 hours I'll have lost due to this trip], I made a pit stop at my thinking place. Yes. A coffee was definitely needed while I found myself once again back at square one. Trying to figure out where best to go from here.

It's funny, in the way life always isn't when it's trying to be as difficult as possible. One half of me would like to go home and have a rather spectacular sulk. While the other half would like nothing more then another coffee. This time, freshly brewed instead of iced. No doubt, the half of me that would rather have another coffee then sulk is the Buddhist half. After all, there's no time for sulking when one has great coffee. And a Buddhist should never sulk. It implies that one has given up.

I haven't. So I'll just go get that coffee

Dystopia

Interesting day.

Like always it started with a massive cup of coffee. Unlike always... that cup of ambrosia led to a very painful stomach ache... Oh well. No pain, No gain.

However, despite my body deciding it would rather drink anything but coffee... I went to class today. Which, is quite the accomplishment even if the only reason I went was to drop of Homework that I've had for two weeks... And did last night.

I even managed to catch the bus to the post office so I could mail off my Secret Santa gift... 4 days to late.

Really it's becoming increasingly obvious that I've got a serious problem with procrastination. What's more, all of my best ideas come to me when I have no desire to write them down. Much in the same way some people's best ideas only come to them while high. If you think about it, we probably could have solved most of the worlds problems by now if we simply recorded our best ideas the minute they happened.

If nothing else... I'd have finished at least one book by now.

Oh well. It'll happen. Eventually.
