Well I'm back in the office and am preparing for a fairly busy day of cleaning and organizing and getting on top of any last minute details before I leave this place FOR-E-Vur. It is actually starting to hit me that I am leaving this place for good, that I will never have to deal with the silly little assignments, the petty b.s., the unnecessary condescending attitudes. Believe me, I will not miss it at all. Today I shared my news of resignation with Mildred (the maintenance woman who loves nothing more than to ask me how Charlie and Roxie are doing every single morning) and she said she was going to miss talking to me about all things kitty. That was nice. I suddenly feel thrilled to share my news with every PhD in this building - spread the word, Kristen is exploding out of here.
We'll see how many I can get to this week.

Mildred sounds like she's the smartest person in the building! ;)
hahaha:) I think she might be. Those PhDs have nothing on her...and I;)
Uncensored comment: I ran across your blog last week...You sound like such a cool cat sometimes and that makes me really like you...and other times you just sound like a sad, closed-minded, spoiled little brat. And that disappoints me because after reading your entries...I really WANT to like you. Which one are you?
Wow. Sad. Closed-Minded. Spoiled Brat. I have never thought of myself as any of those things, with the exception of spoiled and, well, I guess sometimes I can definitely be a brat. But I wouldn't use that word...tempermental would be more like it.
I think I'm a pretty cool person, but forget about that. I know I'm a real person. I write about things on this blog that are on my mind, things that inspire me. THings that anger me. That's real. If I wanted everyone to think I am the coolest cat that walked this planet, I wouldn't write half the sh*t I write....because let's be honest....liking the gin blossoms more than life itself is not typically a cool trait....my reflections on myspace post is kinda harsh - but I'm being honest and discussing something that I think about...
Some of the things I write about sometimes make me paranoid...I think...OHMYGOD...somebody out there is going to be offended or not like me anymore or will write a comment similar to the one you wrote...but the thing is, this is a place where I will post things that I think about or feelings I'm experiencing at the moment. TO me, it's far more important to be real 100% of the time, than to be cool. I do, however, happen to think that being real is the coolest thing you can be.
Just out of curiosity, what specifically has made you sense that I'm a sad and close-minded person? It's funny, because I feel like I am an extremely open minded person. I'm eager to hear how you have judged me so negatively and strongly.
I want to like you, too.
