Stuff of Dreams

It has been way too long since I have found a moment to write.  Things started happening fast.  We are moving back to Tulsa.   A week ago, I thought the timeline was more like we’d be moving in a month, then it suddenly, literally in one day, became a week.  

Last One in the Cement Pond's a Rotten Egg!

I would love to win the lottery.  I admit, I’m somewhat envious of the two winners of the latest Mega Millions jackpot.  Only one of the two has come forward as of today and I’m happy for him and all, but damn I wish that were me.

Stan and I have passed the time on many occasions talking about “what if,” as in, “what if we won a lottery?”  What would we want to do with the money?  Depending on where I’m working when we have these discussions and on whom I’m working with, I either want to give everyone a nice chunk of change to show them how much I appreciate them before I go riding off in my newly acquired stretch limo, never to be seen again at said place of employment because I quit immediately, OR I want to stay working at my place of employment for a few weeks, rub it in by acting like I don’t really care that I’ve just won millions of dollars (“It’s not going to change me!”) and see how different the assholes I work with will start treating me now that they can see I exist, like Glenda the Good Witch suddenly appearing in their midst.

Inception

I’m lagging behind on my “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” viewing.  I’ve only watched one episode!  I keep finding other things to do.  I worked on my accounting flashcards on Wednesday.  On Tuesday, I went to Tulsa Community College to turn in some paperwork and I took a test for a state job.

I don’t know why I want to work for the state again.  Everything is old, broken down and taped together and they don’t give raises anymore with all the budget problems.  I guess the appeal is how a state employee can rack up that vacation and sick time.  Most private sector jobs can’t compete with that, so I guess that’s the draw.  I would like to find a position as an Accounting Technician so I can be working in the area I’m going to school for.  I don’t know what my chances are of getting another state job, but I know the chance is zero if I don’t even try.

The Inclined

I have written a few things online in the past.  I used to write review columns for a daytime soap opera fan site.  Most of my reviews were about “General Hospital.”  By “reviews,” I really mean I made fun of the show in a major way.  It had jumped the shark and, while I still had hope for it, I had a lot to complain about and complain I did, always with humor.

I expect to fully tap into my ability to complain in the course of writing this blog, but I want positivity as well.  There needs to be balance.  Generally, when I complain in writing, it is for entertainment purposes and not about anything too serious.  Some “General Hospital” fans took my past writings far too seriously, if you ask me, so I guess it’s relative anyway.

My Resolution

For my 2011 New Year’s Resolution, I resolve to watch more television.  Or rather, I resolve to admit that I want to watch more television.   By blogging this, I am thus admitting it and so I have already fulfilled my 2011 resolution.  I am awesome.

For 2010, I resolved to be awesome and did not succeed until just now, the 2^nd day of 2011, so I have already done better than last year.
