Another day, and without a doubt, it's same as always. Work, work and work. Lots of em' heading my way, I mean to work in a magazine company, it's not an easy task to do, especially when you're assigned to come up with new ideas on a weekly basis for the magazine. Let me give you a solid example; imagine your brain is a sponge filled with water. Everytime you go to work, all of those water are drained out throughout the day. So, yeah that's my brain alright and I am not even exaggerating.
It was just two weeks ago when we girls had fun on our day out. As people might say, 'Every beginning has its ending', so does this I suppose. So began the day where everyone has their own things to do, working to support their living just to survive. Though maybe that's just me you know. I'm always at home doing my work, trying to survive to the fittest in this modern economic world.
And well for the girls? They're like usual. They do what they want, enjoy or do something else other than working. I mean, some people just work for leisure things like vacations and materialistic things. There are also people who are born rich and buy luxurious stuff as if it's something you can get from a dollar shop. I can't say that I envy them because, I learn a lot by being somewhat... average.
About my girls, I guess you can say they managed to balance things out with their lives. Like for Lucy, she would invite me whenever she has the chance to hang out or go shopping and stuff. Girly stuff that is, you know, like manicure, pedicure, salon... you name it. Though about Kate, she's pretty much the same as I am, though maybe not much. She's able to keep things balanced between her work and leisure activities, as for me... I am quite the opposite. Yeah, you would probably have guessed it. Work. I couldn't say that I'm a workaholic but maybe that's a little bit of who I am. A workaholic that enjoys life more. Doesn't sound right, does it? I suppose that's me.
Work hasn't been much of a problem to me, I mean at first it probably was but eventually I got used to it and it became a routine. All I can say is that I am probably just bored seeing things kept on going over and over. It's like you're in an infinity loop of boredom or perhaps something like watching the television and most of the shows are on re-runs and you've seen it over dozens of time.
As much as I thought working would be fun after finishing college, boy was I wrong. It was not how I thought it would be. I mean, I used to thought schools were boring then, but to think of it. I've got lots of fun back then. Being late, going to detention for being such a troublemaker. I guess that kind of trait is stuck with me, a troublemaker for life. And how could I forget, prom night. It was probably 10 years ago and I was 18 at that time. I wonder how everyone is.
We haven't had any reunions ever since everyone graduated. I suppose most of us went on our separated ways. Maybe some became successful and turned out to be a CEO of a big company, doctor, an engineer perhaps or some might not be so fortunate. Couldn't imagine any of them of being that, maybe mine's the worst one. I don't know, really. Though the only ones that went the same path as I did are Beth and Lucy.
After work around 6 or 7, I'd have to cook dinner for myself, though sometimes I have dinner out with the girls. And when I'm lucky, I'd just watch the television tune in a movie or whatever interest me. But sadly enough, I usually have extra work that I had to bring on home. That's for sure. Tough to be me ain't it? No? I guess not, probably just me.
Sometimes I'd have to do it simultaneously like sitting on the sofa with a laptop at my disposal and taking breaks in between all the work. The television being tuned in as well as me taking a sip or two of my coffee, just enough to keep me awake. Sometimes when I have someone on the line, talking or the usual things like gossiping with one of the girls. It's fun to talk with them in a while, especially when there's hot or new stuff to talk about.
You know what's worst? Even though I spent most of the night doing the work, despite how long, the work was too much that I barely finish my work and worst case scenario, not even halfway through and the due date of submission? Tomorrow. Crazy. I know. It's really a tough job. At first, I had to make an adjustment to my life, trying to get used to it and voila. I made it. It wasn't easy but I got through anyway.
No one can stop the 'Unstoppable Liz'. Though, during the first day at work, it does seem exciting, I mean not really. It's all nerve wrecking to be honest but, eventually it gets interesting and I guess... later, that feeling is meant to fade, same as everything else. As I mentioned earlier on, 'every beginning has its ending'.
It's starting to late past midnight now, probably 2 or 3 in the morning. I guess I'd have to call it a day. I really do need to start waking up early if I want some improvement in life. I mean, I don't really want to be in a hurry like last time. It was just... worst thing ever. Just as I was about to rest my eyes, the phone vibrated with a nice tune that I have set. A notification showed up. Oh, it's Beth.
"You got a minute Liz?" She texted. I guess I could spare few more minutes for her.
"What's up Beth?" I replied.
"You remember Matt right?" Beth said. I could tell that something is definitely coming. Something that's going to take a while before I can finally go to sleep.
"Yeah, what's with him?" I replied back. Matt was someone from our high school back then. Tall, brown short hair with almond-shaped blue eyes and a broad shoulder. I guess you can say that he is quite a presentable person and maybe, likeable as well? That's why he was quite popular back then but of course, not the kind that you would see in a chick flick where all the popular boys are jerks.
She said, "Guess what, I was on my way walking home, I bumped into him at this coffee shop. So we had a couple of chats and along the way, he's asking me out!"
Told ya, she's good. Those are my girls alright. They're that good with men and life. I mean it's probably easy for Beth anyway. A woman with a slender body, gorgeous looking and a long brunette hair. You can almost say she's a model, but I'm probably just exaggerating.
So I texted back in excitement, "Oh my god! Shut up!"
She replied, "I know right! He's so hot! I mean, he was hot before but anway! I can't believe we'd meet again." I could tell how much joy she must be in, judging from the mood of the conversation we're in.
I texted, "Wow! You're so lucky Beth! Good for you."
And of all the things she could've said, she said, "Hehe, you should go out and find someone girl! You don't want to spend the rest of your life alone do you?"
Okay... first of all, I don't know how to say it but, I don't really wanna think about that yet. It's too early. Probably not, I mean, I am not getting any younger as the time passes by, but it's just, I'm not that ready I guess. Or perhaps, I am just looking for an excuse.
"Anyway babe, I'll see you tomorrow! Good nights!" she finally said. So much for fun for the night. I can finally put my eyes sleep and off I go into my slumber.
Beep. Beep. Beep. A new day arisen, time to prepare myself for work. Don't wanna let "Mr. Banner" down today. Let me tell you a little bit about our boss. I mean, you are probably curious on how he looks like don't you? With all the things that we said about him being the 'Incredible Hulk' and all.
I guess you can say he's an average height person, curly yet neat short hair with a dimple chin. I wouldn't say he's attractive but good-looking I suppose. So yeah that's the boss. As I said before, he's a nice person but strict when it comes to work. Then again, I don't like to associate my life with work. Consider separating my life and work as the means of escaping reality.
