CHEER ME UP

Last friday, i mentioned in this entry that i must be that burnt out. i was right. i may not have forgotten my wallet today nor did i come in with two different pairs of shoes but i was tired. i was really tired. despite being stressed out and in desperate need of a day off i still came in. that's just how i am. i'm a trooper like that... dedicated to my job.

i was busy. as always. i was swamped but not overly crazed. something hit me around 11 AM. i don't know what it was. all i could remember was wanting to break away from everything. i stepped out of the office to catch some fresh air. however, there was nothing fresh about the outside of my building where all the smokers stand and puff away. i didn't walk away from them. i didn't know where else to go. i just didn't see anything peaceful about new york city streets at that moment. so i went back upstairs and asked the big boy for a day off.... TOMORROW.

he didn't really like the idea at first. that didn't make me happy. i guess he noticed how unhappy i've become since then. when he came back from lunch, he brought me some peace offering... a caramel frappuccino and 2 muffins from starbux.

he said "Cheer up, I can't stand it when you're not happy". then i smiled.
