Ok, can we say STRESS?
Thank God the sun is out and that I’ve been planning ahead so I never run out of smokes while commuting to my new gig at TheMan.com. So you ask, what’s it like working for TheMan (har har har like I ain’t heard that before)? Is he trying to beat me down? Eh, yes and no. In the end, it’s a job and I have my super star moments and my gutter moments. Can’t believe it’s already been a month.
I’d like to believe that I’m a professional. Yes, that I’m a YAP(BC) Young Asian Professional (Booty Call or Bitchy Chick). And maybe it’s the stress of adjustment or maybe it’s PMS or just my nature to stress. Who knows? but I’ve been cranky. And most days I don’t feel particularly professional. Is this what it’s supposed to be like to be an adult?
I am constantly amazed to think how much more my parents did by the time they were my age and what I’m able to do for myself now. Sheesh, I’m dressing like a very hip 13 year old and I’m 26 (well, next month anyway). I should feel adult-like, but whatever it is I’m feeling, adult-like definitely isn’t it.
It’s a general funk of transition I guess. I think I’m always in a state of change and self-improvement, and I never quite reach where I should be when I want to be there. No wonder I always get lost when driving solo.
Hmph. Peace out everyone.
You’re all invited to my virtual birthday party next month,
but I probably still won’t feel like an adult.
