needs to get away, but currently is on the internet and listening to Tricky.

Things that point to my leaving: everyone who I tell about my job, my own desires, the way I interact with a couple of my housemates.

Things that hold me here: my family (they're keeping my cat and saving my piano for when I have a place of my own).

When I take the trip I want to take, I'd ideally be gone for a couple of months, getting rid of most of my things and storing what's left at my parent's house. I'll insure the Ostrichmobile and wander (eventually to Maryland and visit my aunt).

I'll be transferred in January to another store and it's not going to be much fun.

Cried for no one,a love that should have lasted years.You want her,you need her.And yet you don't believe her when she said her love was dead,you think she needs you.And in her eyes you see nothing,no sign of love behind the tears,cried for no one..a love that should have lasted years.You stay home,she goes out She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone,she doesn't need him.The day breaks,your mind aches,there will be time when all the things she said will fill your head you won't forget her.And in her eyes you see nothing,no sign of love behind the tears,cried for no one a love that should havee lasted years.

going off.... at work

off into the wild blue yonder within

i had this really horrifying test question pop into my head:

Say there was a biographical movie about your life. It could be a really long movie (say, a 2-day event) but still, a condensation. Now describe the 5-minute trailer to that movie.

maybe someday i'll answer that question.

I was thinking about inner and outer worlds yesterday. As a child, I used to be able to (or be unable not to) concentrate so intensely on some inner scenario I was imagining that I wouldn't see people around me and would sometimes burst into tears. Lately something of this state of mind has returned (probably brought on by sleep deprivation).

Yesterday I found myself imagining an acting class in which a student was getting the instruction, "you are getting into the internal life of your character really well. but, you need to be acting 'out here' (points to the stage and audience) where we are. It's harder to do - you may end up slipping out of character - but it's essential to be in the present."

I snapped out of this reverie just before someone appeared at my desk with a question.

Nelly, I relate very much to what you just wrote.

kazu is:
welcoming Nelly and Spider into my world. Not my inner-world though.

I much prefer the richness of my innerworld to the painfully mundane chit-chat between aquaintences. I wear a headset. That provides a soundtrack and makes it hard to write off my detatchment as rudeness. I love and fear the moments when my inner and outer worlds meet, whether it's because I am so absorbed that I miss a step and fall flat on my face or because I become so overwhelmed by my own inner narrative that I start sobbing or laughing uncontrollably.

Other times, I get too distractable and can't get anything done. The headphones are good then, too. Add some blinders, and I'd be set.

Shave my head. I imagine the feeling of lightness this would bring on. I imagine my apartment with a few sticks of elegant modernist furniture, a few thriving plants, air, and light, like in the movies. Not like now.

I had my evaluation the other day, apparently my communication skills are sometimes a problem. Considering the day I've had, I don't think it's my communication skills.

It's theirs. How am I supposed to know what to do when an important (and infrequent) task is left unmentioned and came in while I was on lunch? How is it supposed to be done when the only people who know about it refuse to touch the machinery involved?

Sigh.

I hate being a PIC. I hate being the dependable one. What happens when I need a break? Will lightning strike the department without the clerk noticing? I swear I work with a bunch of bona fide boneheads whose skulls are so thick you could use them as doorstops.

I wrote my boss an email saying that we need everyone to be trained to confidence on the machine and better team effort. If I have another day like this afternoon anytime soon I might just walk out.
