oh, office stress...

Tension around the office has been running pretty high lately. We've got a lot going on, and we're planning for a move, and I think several of my coworkers would love to strangle one another. (And I'd like to take part in strangling a couple of them, too!) Moving and transitions are just stressful things. We have one of our caseworkers leaving in July, we're leaving and heading to a new office in June, and both of these things just need to happen already!

I admit that I'm a control freak, but I get really irritated when people just keep asking the same stupid questions about the move and can't handle not being in control of what's happening. There's NOTHING you can do about it, so just chillllllll out and let it happen. We can make adjustments once we're done and moved in, but right now, you're pissing everyone else off by carrying on and on and on and on and on and on. You're not going to die because your office isn't set up the way you want it to be. Just move it when we get there! Grr. Okay, breeeeathe!

It doesn't help that at home we're stressing about moving, too. Eric is super frustrated with our realtor (I'll agree that he isn't giving us the best "customer service"), but I just really don't want to even think about that. I am sick of cleaning the house all the time! We have another open house on Sunday, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. And we did drop our price, so hopefully that helps a little? We'll see. 

Random thing I've learned about myself in the last few months: I love people who are elderly! I always said I would never work in gerontology (much like I said I'd NEVER go to Calvin...), but I could really see myself doing work with older adults. Gosh, I'm so weird! 

46.25 hours to go of my internship... 10 more days, over 5 more weeks! and 27 days until graduation/being done with class!!! Woot! One night in class I made a list of things that I'm excited to do once I have some more time off :)
  • exercise!
  • volunteer at the humane society or streams of hope
  • take a spin class
  • join a tennis league
  • visit the library
  • take a vacation
  • go garage sale-ing
  • plant flowers for everett's
  • cook dinner for my awesome hubby
  • spend time at the lake
  • run a half marathon
I suppose that if I set some goals, that'll keep me motivated. I'm worried that once I have two days a week off again, I'll get super lazy! Maybe I'll give myself a week to lounge :)

Anyway, happy long weekend! What are your plans?

  1. HAHAHA!!! I am laughing because I know you aren't talking about me. ;-)

    And I'd LOVE to take a spin class and run a half marathon someday. Although I think I just signed myself up for a full-time job for the next 18+ years and I'm not sure when I'm going to have time!
