So I know I've been MIA from this blog for nearly a week now, but I do have a good reason for it...i've been working...yes, ladies and gentlemen- I do have job (not that you'd be able to tell by the amount of time i spend social networking)...in fact I have two jobs- one being my career and the other being a blackhole of misery i've become caught in for the past 5 years (but it does help pay for shoe addiction.lol!)
So over the last few days, I've been contemplating what i could blog about. I mean the only thing I've done lately is work- and i didn't really think you'd like to hear all about my day teaching 4th graders or dealing with moody customers who have nothing better to do with their lives then complain about everything.
Then it came to me perhaps my life over the last few days has been entertaining if you put a positive spin on it. Take friday night for example- I got yelled at by a customer because the self-serve machine wasn't working properly (The customer failed to realise that the machine, was in fact working perfectly, it was just their own stupidity that was causing the problem...i mean using one of those machines isn't exactly rocket science! lol!) At first I was annoyed because I can't stand being blamed for things that I didn't do or have no control over, but then I realised that the situation was actually pretty funny. I mean you can't help but pity the poor person who is so blind to their own stupidity that they can't even admit that they were the one's making the mistake.
I taught a class of 4th graders today at a school I'd never worked at before. I was terrified and nervous but I instantly bonded with some of the staff over my quite substantial shoe collection. I love that I had the ability to dazzle people with that fact about me! Who knew Tony Bianco's were a conversation starter among a group of teachers! My 4th graders attended a Camp Quality Puppet show today- it was highly entertaining. We got told really bad jokes that I thought I'd share with you:
Q. How do you make Lady Gaga angry?
A. Poke-her (poker) face
Q. What do you call two peas after a fight?
A. Black Eyed Peas
Yes, i told you they were pretty bad, and yet the immature little kid inside of me still managed to laugh at them. The motto of Camp Quality is laughter is the best medicine. I agree with their philosophy. You have to have the ability to recognise the joys in your life. Take a moment to smile at someone and brighten their day, laugh at a joke, look at the glass half full. Its sounds cliche but when everything around you turns to shit, sometimes the only thing you can do is sit back and look at the humour in the situation or find something positive that can come out of it.
So there you have it, my life isn't all that interesting but it's real. By day I'm just an ordinary person, with a job, who acts like a mature, responsible, professional person....by night my alter-ego comes out to play- the crazy twitter addicted gossip queen turned blogger, who likes to party with a bottle of wine and have a good time.
Life is short...why waste a minute of it! DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE AND DON'T SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN WHAT YOU DESERVE!
XOXO
