Okay, I just have to get this out. I am not a fan of winter so I am glad it is warming up, but man, screw you Spring. I am so over the pollen and the ever changing temperatures. I have pretty bad seasonal allergies and I have spent the last few weeks in misery. Between the the itchy red eyes, the sneezing, constant nose blowing and headaches I feel like crap. Plus the temperatures are all over the place. We have to keep switching from AC to heat and and then back again. I would open the windows, but that would aggravate my allergies even more.
Believe me, I am not ready for scorching hot summer weather, but please Spring, give us a break.
All I have to say to you [Spring] right now is: SCREW YOU.
I think maybe you and Monday are in cahoots together...

Dear Monday
Dear Monday,
You are a jerk. A dirty rotten jerk. You think you are so smooth, sneaking up on us each week. I think you paid Sunday off to leave early. Then you take your sweet time, dragging on. None of the other days are as long as you are. You make things suck. You start early and end late. You cause everyone to run late in the mornings. You make it hard to get out of bed. I think you have even convinced Tuesday and Wednesday to drag on a little too. It's a good thing Thursday and Friday aren't in on it. Thursday is just looking for the weekend and Friday is already kicking back in Bermuda shorts, flip flops and drinking a beer. Saturday is in his own little world. Sunday used to be too, but I am starting to think you are tricking him to go along with your evil little plan. What is the deal? Why do you hate us so much? What did we ever do to you? I know you don't like that many federal holidays fall on Mondays, but that should make you happy. For those brief moments people like you almost as much as Saturday and at least as much as Sunday. Those weeks you are a bonus, you are the "cool guy."
Anyway Monday, you need to lay off a little. You just come in like such a jerk. Please Monday, give us a break. Understand that it isn't you that we don't like so much. It is the idea that another week is beginning and we just aren't ready. Please Monday, just get off our backs.

I Just Don't Know
What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you end in that profession? Chances are, probably not. As a kid I went through several phases of what I wanted to be. A lawyer, a veterinarian, president, you name it, I wanted to grow up and do it. When I got to college I chose my major based on a field that I was truly interested in. The problem is, there is no clear job path after graduation for said degree. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but can be tricky when you are unsure of where to go. Recently I have found myself in a transition period. I am not quite sure where to go or what to do. I know in a general what I want out of a job, but at this point I am not sure where to go. The last job I had was in an industry that is struggling right now. My current job (which is a temporary position) is in an industry that is facing a lot of scrutiny and some trouble right now as well. So for right now I am 0 for 2. I just don't know which direction to go in. How do you figure out what to do and what makes you happy? Is that why there were so many middle aged adults in my college classes? Because here they are at age 40, still trying figure everything out? If that is the case, that is pretty damn depressing. I just don't know right now. I know what I would like to do, but I don't have the experience or connections to get the kinds of jobs I want. So what do I do? How do you get a break? Do most people just settle for a job and an industry and there they are, 25 years later, doing something they fell into, not pursuing a career they are passionate about? I hope not. If that is true I am slitting my wrists right now.
I just feel like I am at such a crossroads right now but I don't know where to go or how to get there. It is not about a specific job. Because I am in a temporary position right now I am at an advantage - I can be picky about the jobs I apply for and take the time to truly search out something that I want to do. But the problem with that is the fact that I am sitting here frustrated. The struggling economy and lack of job postings does not help my situation right now. But still, there have got to be people out there doing what they love. So how did they figure it out? And how I am I supposed to know?
