I received one of those emails that I would normally just delete. You know, the "pass this on" emails. For some strange reason though I read it. Im not sure if it was because of the person who sent it or the interest or just a trick of fate. Needless to say it was about best friends and *girlfriends*.
t kind of opened my eyes to a concept that I knew deep down but think I may really need to evaluate. We share so many intimate moments with our partners however there are just *those* things we need our friends and only friends for. Its not so much that we *cant* or *don't want to* tell our partners but just those things you really need the people who will understand the most.
In the past, Ive often felt I wasn't important enough for a boyfriend to share these things with. Perhaps some of you can relate, some of you already know this, and some of you are learning it for the first time through my eyes. I would find out information that was shared with others and then wonder "why didn't you tell me?", I guess the answer was always predominant in my mind. The answer is quite simple. No matter how much we care about someone or know someone, there are just those things that we need other people for. Something I always knew in my own life and perspective but sometimes its hard to see that from the other side.
This is one of those issues I think I need to work on. Where does one start? How do I change something that is second nature? Ive identified the problem but fixing it seems like a losing battle.
On to work..... Currently I sit on the opposite side of the wall from the rest of my department (7 people total). Theres an open desk in which Im supposed to move into but waiting for the red tape to be cleared and the go ahead to be given. Currently Im by myself and feeling a bit out of the loop. Im thinking this may be part of my frustrations at work and hoping things will be a bit better once I can move into the department and become part of it. Right now I guess I still feel like such an outsider to everyone. Time will tell.
Ok spirits uplifted this evening. Camera? DiMage Z2 by Minolta (yes Ive changed again lol). I think its going to be the best choice. I was originally going to stop by Ritz Camera and just purchase it on my way home but my roommate mentioned Costco (which is like BJs or Sams Club for the east coast) and when I went to the web page, the camera was $50 cheaper, and I noticed I could get twice as much memory for about $20 more than the other one. Bottom line = camera + memory card (with an additional 256MB) $70 less than I would have spent with less memory. HOORAY for smart shopping.
Thats about it. Im heading to bed soon because Im in such a good mood that Id rather sleep happy for a change. Ok, so its not like Im always miserable going to bed. Just when I have to get up in the morning.
Peace and Love to all.
