Escape From Reality

Yesterday was another Monday at the Library and it was quiet for once. I dread Mondays because they are always the longest and the busiest. Today is a different story. The school district released the Kids for a funeral services for this lady that died in a school bus accident near my area of residence. The Kids have migrated to the Library and have cause people like me to work even harder.

Today, I just feel really out of it. I guess I could blame it on Her, but not really. I just can't seem to get her out of mind. When I close my eyes, all I see is her gleaming face. It doesn't help when friends of mine come up to me and inquire about our relationship. Here's how it goes usually:

Them: How is She doing?"
Me: Oh...hmm, she's doing okay.
Them: How are you "two" doing?
Me: Oh, hmm.... me and her....hmm... have severed romantic ties indefinitely
Them: OH, really?! What happened? And she was such a nice girl.

I don't mind telling people, that we are "taking a break", but it makes me think about Her, the relationship and how long this break will last. Sometimes, I just don't understand females. One minute they are so sure of what they want, then the next minute they are unsure and indefinite about everything. I wish they would make up their minds. I have inadvertently turned this post into a venting about my feeling about Her, which was not my initial intent.

Anyway, today I am angry, tired, sleepy, chocolate-deprived, alcohol-deprived, annoyed, and sad. What happens when you have a combination of the previous mentioned feelings? You have some pent-up aggression ready to activate. I have this feeling that I will go off on anyone who pushes the right button and that includes patrons (library customers) who are senseless and ignorant. I'm considering purchasing some alcohol after work today, not to drink away my problems, of course. I would never do that. When I drink, it's always in moderation.

Another good thing to look forward to is Boston Public on the channel WE(Women's Network) . The powerhouse behind this great show is David E. Kelly also known for Ally McBeal. I love both shows. They had a way of skewing reality with their bizarre storylines, though they are told in a way that makes it interesting and funny at the same time. Lately, Boston Public has been my escapes from reality so that I wont go completely insane from the daily operations of my very life.

Another interesting thing about Today is that I have received a plethora of people calling the wrong place. I’ve gotten calls from people claiming they thought we were State Farm Insurance, the Hospital, the School District, and other places. If a person read the phone directory very carefully, they would see our name RIGHT BESIDE our phone number. It’s not a hard process. First find the name, and then scan to your right for the number. It’s a very easy procedure. Anyone can do it. Well, enough of ranting.

Hopefully, my day will improve and by tomorrow, I will smile and be happy. At least, though, I wont have a hangover like most people I know. Hint. Hint: Co-worker.
