i absolutely love the super bowl... ever since i was little it's been a reason to stay up late and eat lots of snacks and drink gallons of sugar filled beverages... and it's also been a little bit about football... but not usually... it's all about the commercials, the bud bowl, the half time show, and all the other fascinating marketing ploys they have come up with to keep people from tuning out to what usually isn't a very riveting game...
and i never have a team picked... b/c i don't pick teams... i just cheer for whoever catches my fancy... i couldn't tell you who won last year or even who played last year... it's more about the experience... i'm super excited and it's still like... four days away... i have a ton of work between now and then, so the goal is to not let that dampen my spirits...
and speaking of work, i noticed today (because it was pointed out to me) that i bitch about work... a lot... more than anyone else i know... the daily rundown of the trials and tribulations that i deal with on a daily basis can sometimes take the entire car ride home... and it's a long car ride... this of course begs the question... why don't you just get a new job if you hate it so damn much? wha? i never, ever said i hate it... sure, it annoys the shit out of me, and the kids drive me crazy, and i swear my coworkers are setting me up to fail at everything, but that's all just part of the challenge... i love a good challenge... the worse days at work are when i get in the car and i go, yeah, it was boring today... the good days are when i have 45 min of bitching to go over... b/c it means that i did something that day... a problem was put before me and i fixed it... and that is a satisfying feeling. my job isn't perfect, and frankly it would probably bore the hell out of a lot of other people (or make them into raving lunatics) but the only reason i go on and on about it so much is because it is my job, and i think about ways i can do things better even when i'm not there. i bitch because i care... i guess that's the bottom line...
and i could actually take that and apply it to a lot of other areas of my life too... i bitch because i care... good motto.
