I feel like every year there is a snow storm warning around January or February. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who actually heed those warnings.
I believe in taking chances but there’s also a time and place for that. No time for being stuck in a ditch or at work this year. Unless you’re adequately prepared for it (which Atlanta is generally not).
I think I was caught up with trying not to appear selfish for some reasons unknown in the past. However, it took a year of butting heads with one outspoken (or should I refer to them as honest?) Scorpio for me to realize that we have to be selfish sometimes. Like it’s a survival need or something.
I heard this storm is going to hit most of the country. So if you are out there, stay warm, stay safe, and stay sane. I really hoped it wouldn’t have happened but it’s a renewal process for nature.
I’ll probably end up going to work tomorrow when it’s not black ice and sleet allover.
I read a few articles this morning about people changing up their driving tactics which ended with some in fatal accidents. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.
Stay home. It’s not worth it.
I’ll try to do something productive while I’m here so be on the lookout for less dismal content.
I keep wondering if I am biting off more than I can chew. I have my regular part-time job at the booth but my manager has also lent me to a good ex-colleague of mine at the location across from the one I’m at now. Aside from working two to three days a week, I’ll also be helping out two days across the street. I’ll only be there for about a month. Everyone has gone over there, well most people with my tenure have so I figured I might as well get it over with. I have a vacation coming up a week before school starts again so I’m feeling pretty good about that.
My internship officially started last Monday. I’m going to be volunteering for the summer and I’ll be working during the fall for academic credit. It’s a pretty decent experience so far. It’s nostalgic in a way because I am doing work that I’ve done before and I’m at peace about that. I’ll be a communications intern meaning I’ll be doing everything which isn’t a bad thing at all. I updated wikipedia pages today and reorganized photos. I’ll be helping out on the transitioning of one platform to another and doing some PR/marketing related work. I got my badge, t-shirt, and I think I’m ready to go. I still have a lot to learn but man did the hours go by quickly! It was 10:30 AM and next thing you know, it was 1 PM. I’m there during the weekdays from the morning to the early afternoon. It feels good to do what you love and are good at!
I’ve also been helping out my former classmate and friend on promoting and editing for her upcoming film. This is where I wonder if it all is too much but I know I can do anything I put my mind to. I’ve been lazy for a long time and I really want to get things done. I don’t want to be the person who complains about missed opportunities but then lets them pass one by one. It is going to be a very busy summer indeed.
Today
Just waiting for some emails at work. Nothing new. I like the set up and everything seems to be easy and fine on the internship end. Work at the booth kind of sucks lately. There is just so much drama and I really don’t have time for that right now. Today will be my first day over at the offsite. I’m going to show up a little earlier to take a tour of the place.
I was tough waking up today but I managed it. And then I got stuck in traffic, of course.
The filming has been going great even though I’m not doing any filming. I’ve gotten a better system and things are much more manageable regarding time management. It was a hot mess last week. Somehow, I’m the one working on the website now for the film. It’s only in it’s baby phase but I think it looks amazing. I really like it and I have great ideas for it, too. But of course, most likely people will want me to change it and it’ll end up being something completely different. Oh well. I hope not though.
