"hello i'm calling from Canada" - her
"hi" - me
"i am calling from Canada" - her
"you are speaking to Canada" - me
"ok" - her
"i'll transfer you....." - her
so i realize that my last few blogs have all been commenting on work...
here's the thing. i sit in an office, process orders, talk to sales people on msn and the one person who is in my direct office will soon be leaving.
HUMAN CONNECTION. i crave human connection all day.
i never thought i would be in a cubical rather than surrounded by people
here i am and it's not so bad... but i miss human contact.
maybe it's the reason i'm now addicted to blogging and facebook. somehow through these means i feel closer to people while i'm here in my cubical.
say it with me...cubical, florescent lights, dual moniters 8-4:30.
it's good....sounds good hey?
i would have to say that now more than ever i don't need human contact but when i have it i enjoy it. i remember going through this phase when i wanted to hang out with one person or people all the time. it's like if i wasn't with someone at that point was i really being productive? was i still doing something if i was doing it on my own. being along and being able to do things by yourself is a nice skill to master. and it does take some master. i'm sure it comes easier for some than others but for me it took awhile. Now i'm pretty diliberate about who i want to hang out with, if i want to hang out with them and why. it's rather intentional than just being a way to not being alone. Over the last year the friend list has widdled down. it's smaller than ever and i love it. there have been new people added.
ok so i'm realizing at this point this may all seem pretentious and mean but here's the thing.... choose your friends. know why they're your friends, be picky, dont be random and you'll find that they're friends worth keeping.
so i raise my glass...hopefully full of yellow lable Wolfe Blass and say...here's to you friends....for you i really will do anything

cheers lady!
i must say I'm pretty picky with my friends. I'm glad tho, cause they really prove to you over time they are worth it.
i have been going through that feeling of being alone, i just sit in my basement for a good portion of the day (when I'm not working) and all i want to do is see someone, hang out with someone. but for some reason I'm all alone. i see what you mean my mastering, the art of doing things alone. i always feel like i need someone by my side to make huge choices, to do fun things... but lately ive been realizing that i can do it alone. anyways just wanted to share what was going on through my mind when i read your blog:) love you
