It's another horrible morning; the view through my window hasn't gotten any better, the cat is annoying again and I feel incredibly lazy.
I hate the view through my window. When you grow up in one of the greenest parts of town, and play in your own and your neighbor’s gardens, it’s very hard to get used to gray buildings all around you. It’s just so… depressing. I can see one tree out there. One. One tree and fifteen gray or grayish buildings. It sucks.
Great start of the day.
I say start since I woke up at noon because I was watching old episodes of Star Trek until, oh, three, four in the morning.
It's surprising how quickly I get switched over to night mode. I am a night person, I function much better after five in the afternoon, and never, ever function good in the morning. The most horrible thing to me is the idea I have to get up early. Say about 6, or even 7 am. My whole body is made to function later. I don’t have an appetite in the morning. I cannot think clearly in the morning. It takes me ages to get used to getting up early.
It takes me exactly a day to go back to staying up until the dawn. I get the best ideas around midnight. Everything I ever did, college work or work in general, I always got praised for the work I did around 1 am.
So, I think I can safely say, there are two kinds of people – those who can get up early, and those who can stay up late.
My mother can’t sleep after 6am. She always gets up, even if she has nothing to do. My dad can’t get up before 8 am earliest. To him waking up earlier that that is impossible (it’s safe to guess which one I resemble more :))).
One of the happier times I had was working a graveyard shift at our resort. That was heaven, I finally found a job I can do with pleasure – during the night and with as little human contact as possible.
I said I’ll do a recap of my adventures and a sort of “what I learned from concert planning” story (like first graders homework, oh my :))).
I’ll tell you what I learned – I’m no good at human contact. I’m no good at conversations. I’m great at planning, seeing the big and the small picture, I’m great at getting ideas how we can make something better, I’m great at delegating and I’m quite good at listening. I’m no good at conversing.
I can stay up late and make little excel sheets with plans and numbers, but I’m just no damn good at sitting on the phone and getting what I want from people. I don’t have those skills to befriend someone in five minutes. I have no idea how to do something like that.
I really am a true introvert.
Oh, look at this post, it’s just me, me, me :))). I begin to sound like Johnny Bravo :). hey there sexy mamma :).
Well, I guess today is all about me :).
So, enough about me, let’s talk about me some more :).
I am thinking I have to find a job that has something to do with planning and managing. Anybody got some kind of a job like that to offer me? I’d be really good at it :).
