Jinked

Today was just one of those days where the stars aligned and everything clicked. Or maybe it was because it was Friday and I got to spend it giggling in an office with CSS all over my computer screen, midst the company of development geeks. Days like this are just wonderful, so full of sunshine and kittens and yeah, that’s going a little too far there, I know.

I could just be in the honeymoon phase (I was there once before at another job, but we won’t get into that), but I really like contracting on-site at the place I am now. It’s fun. I actually have time to complete projects. My input is valuable. It’s something I never would have thought possible, given how jaded my last job left me feeling about the corporate world. I seem to fare better working for smaller places. I’ll gladly take a NWI salary over a Chicago salary and a big firm where no one remembers my name.

This weekend is pretty packed. I’m going to try my best to finish developing a site for a freelance project I landed, write and edit Thirteen, go to Di’s bachelorette party and pick up some stuff at the farmer’s market. I want to make a nice dinner. That’s the drawback of working; I’m unmotivated to cook sometimes. At least I make up for it on the weekend.

I haven’t been doing many thought records lately only because I’ve been feeling pretty good. However, I sort of have to put myself out there to change my internal monologue enough so I don’t wig out when the prospect of affection creeps  in. Guys as friends I can totally deal with. I actually have a lot of guy friends (which could be a whole post within itself), but there is just something about the affection side. It’s hard, but I’m getting there.

Have a great weekend, guys!
