The Good, the Better, and the Absolutely Random!

I'm not laboring on this Labor Day. I've been looking forward to this Monday off for about four weeks now. There is nothing I love more than having Monday off. Of course, at my job that will probably mean a super busy, super stressful, rest of the week, but I'm OK because when I leave the office on Friday those folks won't see or hear from me for TWO WEEKS. Yes, indeed, Brainy Brown Girl NYC is going on vacation and I can't wait!!!! For the first week I will be in Italy, and the second week I will be doing whatever I feel like doing in my city and some stuff around my apartment, but still taking it easy.

But getting back to this wonderful day off . . . .Truly, my whole disposition and outlook on life changes when I know I'll have a Monday off. Maybe its because I don't experience the Sunday afternoon depression that I usually go through, maybe its because I know I'm not fulfilled in my career and I'm about to start another 50+ hour week of misery. I don't know . . .I don't have a problem with hard work or working hard. Its just that my current job just takes so much energy out of me, and I believe that when you are doing what you are gifted to do, the long hours aren't so bad and somehow the hard work doesn't feel so hard. I don't just want some corporate job where I make a good salary and afford to buy stuff. I believe I can have a fulfilling career in corporate America, its just not gonna happen where I am now. I'm open to somthing new. I'm still open to learning and earning all I can in corporate america now, so that I can work for myself later. What I know for sure is that God has plan for me and I just need to have an ear to hear, to be patient, and to be prepared for whatever comes my way.

I need to throw on some clothes. The only thing I want to do today is run to Home Depot for paint (but I'm not painting today, I just want it ready for when I do), fold up laundrey, draft another version of my resume, read my O magazines (I'm so behind in my magazine reading)and watch the last DVD of the Tudors (yes, the Showtime series. I don't have the Showtime package and I rented the first disk one day when there was nothing else to rent, the weather was terrible, and I LOVE history - so I though I'd check it out. In any case, its a decent enough show and you can't just watch three episodes!)
