Rolling my eyes
I never really like people who say, "Oh I'm SO busy!" whenever I ask them how they are. I am secretly rolling my eyes. It just seems so pretentious. It's like saying "I have so much going on at work I really don't have time for you or anything else, well, except for right now." Every time I hear that response I think, "That's just sad! Because you told me that last time too!" I guess I'm jealous? Or I'm dumbfounded? My previous jobs didn't get super busy that often, and when they did, I tried not to tell people or talk about it like it's some kind of news. Some of my friends do though, all the time. Anyway, this last week at the new job has been a little hectic. I am really not familiar with this rhythm. Lots of events happening at once, and many of them require lots of attention, while the rest are merely distractions or of less importance to what is going on with my current training. Of course, I continue to strive for that stance, that I won't say "Oh I'm SO busy" when my friends call me or ask me how everything is. I still think that's annoying and pretentious. And I don't want to feel like I'm rolling my eyes at myself. Other people can do it, but not me. I'm just getting used to a different pace of living. That's all.
