I could think of better things to do

Sometimes if you just don't make a decision, the decision gets made for you. So I didn't send in the $30 to participate in my class reunion, so I'm not going. I'm actually kind of relieved. I've been looking for an excuse not to go (besides the way I felt weird squashy embarssed feelings just thinking about it), and it turns out that just ignoring it and letting the deadline slip by mostly un-noticed has provided me with the best excuse of all.

It also helps that I have $75 dollars until the end of the month. I can ALWAYS think of better ways of spending that money. Like on food to eat (number 1 priority), or (what seems to be coming in as priority #2) spending a few bucks here and there on a drink so that I can hang out with the friends that are in my life right now and will be in my life after August 19, and probably a lot longer than that, frankly. And not very many of whom have a history of making me feel like a prissy, stuck-up, goody-two-shoes, teacher's pet snark, either. (even if I was one)

Well, anyway, hurrah! Here's for getting priorities straight!

Also, here's a big happy hurrah for getting that job I really wanted (hey, my interview strategy totally paid off!). I still really like it. Although yesterday I talked to a woman on the phone who scared the bejezus out of me. There was something in her tone of voice that made me instantly fear her and crave her respect at the same time. Wow. I wonder what that was all about, really?
