craftiness

I've been feeling insanely crafty lately... I don't know what made this come over me but every evening in the last week I've wanted little more than to curl up on the couch, watch Lord of the Rings while doing something creative.

That's about all for now. Work's going great! And I feel like there are a lot of people that I haven't talked to lately. Hmm... I'm starting to miss them. You know who you are.

Title

So I was thinking about what it means to have 'title'. And for all of the cyperoids out there like me who hear that term and automatically think about the 'title' of a blog post, that's not at all what I'm talking about.
What brought it to my mind was the fact that I've started a new job but they've sort of created a possition for me, that meaning that no one really knows what I'm in charge of. This isn't such a big deal really, I've been doing a lot of much needed data imput and fileing but I feel sort of like they are giving me random jobs. My boss is out today and left a ton of sorting and filing on my desk to be done. But she did leave a note thanking me for everything that I've been doing and she's going to work on an official job 'title' and description. More than likely I'll be doing a lot of the same stuff, but it will make me feel better and over all more important once I have a title. It's sort of silly but I was wondering if anyone else feels like this? And it does apply to many areas of life, this is just one area where it matters to me for no good reason.

Examples of title and what it says about you:
Sir (you're a Knight, the english version of bad-ass)
Assistant Manager (you're no longer on the bottom rung)
Mrs. (you're someones wife)
Admin Assistant (you're someone's bitch)
Jr. (you're parents were unoriginal)
Ph.D. (you paid a lot of money to read a lot of books)
XI or more (wow that's a big number, you must have some crazy old name and you probably go by something that has nothing to do with you're legal name)
Judge (you're important and intimidating)
Coffee Expert (Starbucks highest honor/the person I want making my coffee)
Coach (soccer, football, gym, birthing, etc/someone I don't want to be)
Master Mariner (Lord of the seas! Well of your little government licensed vesel at least :-/)
Notary (no one knows why but you are the one important person at a seemingly unimportant job, perhaps you got certified to add meaning to your life... who knows? But one thing I know for sure is that front teeth are certainly not required for this title, long story.)

ok that's enough for now. Feel free to comment with anything you think i've left out :-)

ready for lunch

So i'm sitting at work and I'm ready to take lunch but i'm trying to hold off so the chances of Bryson's bday gift having been delivered is much higher. I wish it would have come yesterday so he could actually get his birthday gift ON his birthday, but oh well. So how do I remedy my starving state? Well chow down on some almonds that I forgot were in my purse of course! Yeah, as you could guess this isn't very appatizing. But that's about the most interesting thing happening at the moment.

Job's going well! And it will be going even better when my new computer comes in and i can get off of this old canker grandpa PC!

until next time,
madison
