I've gotten through one week of 12 hour work days. Boy it's tough. I commend doctors and everyone else who does this regularly! I have these types of days (at school 7-2:30 pm, math tutoring 2:30-4:30, swim team 4:30-6:30, swim lessons 6:30-7) until school gets out, the second week of June. I hate working this much but I am enjoying the little extra on my paychecks. Gotta remember that this extra money is to pay for my debauchery in Switzerland this summer.

My SO is leaving today to go on his first solo work trip. He's very excited and nervous. I'm happy that his company is starting to send him on his own. My SO loves working and hates doing nothing (basically opposite of me!) and he has had a few days where he's had nothing to do. The fact that his company is starting to send him solo is a great sign. Soon he'll be in Russia for two weeks like his coworker! Not that I look forward to him being gone so much, just that he'll be happier in his job.

Of course when he accepted this trip he overlooked that next week is my birthday. I honestly don't care too much about most holidays or special occasions. I feel like I'm pretty damn laid back. But I'll admit, I am a little bummed he'll miss my birthday the same year he missed our wedding anniversary for the same reason! Although he has promised to bring me back something nice from Maryland, like some picket signs or rocks I suppose. (too soon? )

For my birthday I'm going to go out with two of my best friends ever. Nothing fancy since I'll be dead from these work days, but at least something so I don't feel too lonely. Maybe I'll even break out the falsies.

I've now applied to about eight job openings in the area. I really need to find out where I'm going to be next year because I need to get out of this house ASAP. It's not just me feeling annoyed it's my SO too.
