I have realized that lately I have done a number of things that are out of my character. Part of the reason for that is the fact that I have a few insecurities that must be dealt with. So, I am actively doing something about it.
By something, I mean:
1. Asking a girl who I don't know out to dinner.
2. Writing an email to my boss that could very well get me fired. (More on that later)
3. Initiating conversations with people I would otherwise NEVER talk to.
4. Ignoring the everyday worries that stem from my insecurities and doing really stupid things anyway.
As for number two, I had been promised to be moved to a new position at work if I would continue working for my current employers. On Friday, we had a meeting. They listed the people who would be moved to the new position that was promised to me. My name was not included.
Naturally, I was rather...uhm...frustrated. I tried to blow it off and compose myself. I received a number of other emails that only left me more angry. I waited and slept on it.
After having left it for about 12 hours, I realized that the situation was not getting any better and decided to let my boss know about how I felt. I'm currently debating whether I want to post the email. Although, I will tell you, friends, that I feel justified in what I wrote.
I should know by tomorrow if I still have a job or not. I'll be sure to let you guys know.
Until then, I'm going to listen to some music, study for an Arabic test, and enjoy the time I've got.

Like the new look. Very 'Spring' (which it is here, though I know you guys are gong into autumn.)
You're wise to sleep on those kinds of decisions Joe. A good move.
Ignoring the everyday worries that stem from my insecurities and doing really stupid things anyway.
That's the meaning of life, right there, Joe. If you can do exactly that, you're doing better than 99% of the people who've ever lived.
there is a slight problem here. first, you sleep on it. then, you do really stupid things anyway. how many really stupid things are you going get around to if you keep procrastinating?
p.s. -- please resist the temptation to do every really stupid thing that comes to mind, like posting the email to your boss. if you cannot resist the temptation, at least video the really stupid things you do and make a movie.
reminds me of strained peas
