last week's friday five

1. What’s your favorite small office supply (like something that can fit in your top desk drawer)?
it's a complete toss up between shiny binder clips, cool pens, and bright colored post it notes.

2. What’s your favorite medium office supply (like something that can fit on your desktop)?
i have a tiffany's stand up calandar...i love it! that and my bright kleenex box :)

3. What’s your favorite large office supply (like a furnishing or a large tool)?
gotta love my previous work computer (30 inch monitor mac! i miss it!)

4. To which specific office supply do you have a particular personal attachment?
that computer held my life at one point...though i do get a little worked up if my fav pen is missing

5. Which office supply do you consider yourself something of an expert on?
im no expert, but i do know computers pretty well.

i miss btown!

2 and a half weeks...i can't wait!! it will be a homecoming!

in the right direction...but still up in the air

life is slowly coming together. i am no longer coloring dora in blaine but have moved in with my aunt, uncle and cousin. everything seems to be going well and i am very close to the pool that i am coaching at, which was not planned at all and is actually a nice perk. the drive to work is also pretty smooth...494, besides the bright, blinding sunlight in the eyes every morning is pretty easy going besides the hold up in bloomington.

so far i've coached 3 days and have enjoyed all of them. the coaches are amazing and, well...nice. which is a contrast from my last coaching experience. i'm trying to learn all of the kids names as fast as i can so i can easily get their attention to correct them. right now i'm in a funk where i will mention what i see to my co-coach and we chat about whether we need to mention it to the swimmer. it's been a little hard to get back into my coaching personality. each day is getting better.

other than that, i'm itching to get my own place. i haven't had a bedroom that is actually MINE since may. i'm not complaining as i am fortunate to everyone who has helped me out...but i really really miss my bed and all of it's down feathers. i have to wait another month before i can actually start figuring that out though...i need to figure out where i will be working. no word has really been said about whether i will stay at where i'm interning, all i know is that i will need a job! the downtown life was appealing to me, but now a place close to the pool is starting to look good. everything can change in a month though :)

friday five

cost

1. What’s something you suspect you regularly overpay for?
umm...gas???

2. What’s something you suspect you regularly underpay for?
i've got nothing...everything is expensive! i sometimes think that the clearance items are still too expensive!

3. What’s taking up more of your time than it should?
Probably driving...but I enjoy it. That and i think i'm on the computer too much!

4. What’s causing you stress only because you let it?
The job hunt.

5. If all your karma were based on your positive and negative attitudes, would it be in good shape, in bad shape, or perfectly in balance?
I'm a pretty positive person, so I would say good shape but we all know that there is a little negativity everywhere, so I would guess in balance with a slight lean to the positive side:)


there's another friday five, but i don't like it as much. i guess i'll answer it when i find the questions amusing.
