i am currently sitting backstage amongst all my electrical goodies while the people on the other side of the curtain are tinkering with the cars. i am sitting in a metal folding chair that likes to squeal when it slides on the floor. i forget this regularly so i actually wrote it on a piece of tape and stuck it to the table right in front of where i sit. hey, whatever it takes… right? i have to work with 5 product trainers all day every day. they are nice people, however the honeymoon phase has come and gone and the claws came out. they seem to bicker to each other, about each other. they have cute little nick names for each other and nobody really likes the one given them. it's almost like a backhanded compliment. seems nice on the front but there is a sneaky little nugget of "gotchya" tagged on the end. we are all adults here. well… supposedly.
the hotel here in Overland Park, KS is quite nice. (Towne Place Suites by Marriott) also helps that the girls who work the front desk are super nice, OH and gorgeous. the bed in my room is fantastic unlike most hotels, and i have a full kitchen with dishes and two closets. there are a ton of restaurants and stores in very closet proximity. i got excited when i first saw the hotel because i saw a park RIGHT BEHIND the hotel. ends up it is a golf course. can't go hang out there. boo…
lately i have been expanding my circle of friends. i have met some wonderful new people and also rekindled old friendships with a few people i haven't seen in a handful of years. it is always interesting to catch up with old friends and hear their life experiences. the 20s are a very interesting time in peoples lives because major decisions are made.
life is funny sometimes. situations come and go and i can just sit back and laugh at the irony of timing. when i want things to happen, they don't. when i finally decide to focus my attention on something else it seems that life FINALLY works out the way it was supposed to….. a little while ago. too late. always too late. i thought that we are supposed to be aggressive and proactive towards things we desire out of life, yet i find it is almost a deterrent for the journey. as if the more we dig towards our treasure we are really just getting further away from it. then that one time we finally stop and say, "screw it, im just gunna ride it out" things seem to just fall into place. weird. backwards. life.
