Late again
I’m getting ready for work and all the bad thoughts sneak up on me. Halfway into another angry scenario I snap myself back to the present time. I need a break. Sleep isn’t enogh of a break-i dreamt I was standing in front of a client and his employees without pants. That means something, right? its Friday, I remember when Fridays were fun. A loooong time ago. I need coffee. I lost...
Things I did today...
Grew some.
Emailed my boss and told her I don’t like to be micromanaged.
In that same email told her that “no, I didn’t update the excel spreadsheet”.
Cleaned out my email, computer, desk.
Revamped my resume.
Called my contacts.
Officially put myself on the job market.
I have a 12:30 meeting with my bosses tomorrow. This was called out by them after the stupid...
I did 10 miles on my bike today
(My legs are gonna hate me tomorrow) The goal is to do 50 miles with ease by April. I can do it. I know I can. Its just going to require lots of discipline. Maybe some improved eating habits. A little weight training might help. And daily situps/push ups/lunges/squats. I won’t commit to all of that but I’ll make an effort.

Guys..now keep in mind that I’m a humanitarian and my job is community service. Ok. I love that we’re giving all this support to Haiti. I was obsessed with this country throughout my undergraduate research. Ok…ok so we’re reaching out to these people in Haiti because their lives have been fucked. Yes. This is good.
Why aren’t we holding telethons for those who were so completely...

rambling
Today, as I’m driving from work, speeding actually(the kind of speeding that gets you no where)…I sit in traffic, thoughts of work flying through my head, the unfinished conversations, decisions to be made, commitments, meetings…
I’m sitting in traffic now, the rain is coming down in sheets. I see police lights, emergency lights. It’s 5:15p, I’m cutting it...
Contacts vs. Eyeglasses
I have been wearing eyeglasses for years. I have worn contacts on occasion. I think I was 16 when I tried wearing contacts for the first time. It was then that I learned that I had astigmatism. My contacts were so uncomfortable. I wore them for a summer and then ditched them for my old reliable glasses. Years later I tried again, the contacts were a bit more comfortable but eh, still, I...
I'd rather be home

pepito-deactivated20100309 asked: Mimi what are you doing asking yourself "WTFunk are you doing?"? I hope my grammar and syntax are correct in that last sentence feel free to correct me. What's your favorite novela of all time? And what do you like more Banda El Recodo or Conjunto Primavera?
Dream Psychology by S. Freud
My audiobook pick. I recently became fascinated by dreams and dream study. I love being read to. Way back when, I fell in love with a man that would read poetry to me during his lunch breaks. Currently, my favorite way to fall asleep is having a book read to me. I’m not 4 years old.
Dishes
I was hoping the mountain of dishes would somehow just disappear by the time I got home. They didn’t. The mountain was still there in all its icky glory. I forget how much I actually relax while doing dishes. cheap therapy.
My job is so bi-polar. One minute I’m congratulating someone on landing the job, the next moment i’m firing someone. One moment giving someone...

My tummy
*ouch* It continues to amaze me how much I am physically affected by my emotions. Stress, anxiety, mean natured people, drama-it all creates a very real reaction. I had to terminate 10 people this morning at a client site. I had a roomfull of guys whose jobs I held in my hands. The room was relaxed, they knew what was coming. They weren’t surprised one bit by my words. They were gracious,...

holy shit, I'm in trouble
My brother and I are supposed to enter into a bike race in early spring. Up until 2007, I was in way better shape than him. I can no longer claim this to be true. Today he sent me a note asking me if I had already started to train. I was ready with a shitload of excuses, but realized quickly that I’m the only one that will affected by my procrastination. So, I headed out on my bike. After...

Nice to know that during music trivia debates I can count on my tumblr pal, alexrambles, to bail me out. Thank you Alex for helping me look like I know what I’m talking about!

Happy Friday
As I listen to a co-worker excitedly make plans for a rowdy Friday night, I sit at my desk and look at my phone, reading a text from the bf asking to go out for a drink. Our nights are mellow, filled with recounts of the days/weeks activity, drama, excitement. A bit of envy seeps in, as I start to recall the days when my Friday nights were pinned as party nights. But now, I’m home. And after...
bringtheruckuss asked: es la congelación en mi casa y mi calor no está funcionando.
alexrambles asked: Because of you, I now love tacos de cabeza. It also gives a whole other meaning to "I got some head last night." What other cuisine you've been holding out on me, girl?

California Girl
Born and raised in California, I left for a brief stint when I was 14. I went to Ohio and learned about small tight knit communities, real downtowns and snow days!!! I remember my cousins and i would sit in front of the TV watching the news hoping they would announce our school on the list. I LOVED snow days! Not because I didn’t love school, because trust me I did. I effin lucked out...

counseling
the part of my job that no one sees is the afterhours counseling sessions. some of my candidates can be so insecure, so unsure of themselves and their talents…it’s so unfortunate how they shortchange themselves.

Ugly Mimi Day
Losing weight is cool, right? Except for the part where your pants are now too big and you look like you’re wearing hand me downs. No bueno. I feel so frumpy. My shirt doesn’t seem to fit right, my pants are waay to baggy and i just look ugly. I need to go shopping ASAP.
Oh, oh! and i’m wearing the ugliest shoes EVER! What the heck possessed me to buyy them?? and then...
2010 Feng Shui: Week #1
i-peach-feng-shui:
REFRIGERATOR REDUX: Take apart your refrigerator. Dump the old/inedible. Wash down ever single piece (including the easy to forget bottom drawers) with warm water and mild soap. Spray off the top, and even clean the floor behind it with a dry broom (carefully if it is plugged in, PLEASE) and… Piece it all back together in an organized fashion.
