This morning, I took an online quiz over at Facebook to determine what one word best describes me. Surprisingly, the test told me that I'm "happy." So maybe I am.
It must be right because just last night as I was walking to the terminal, there was an undeniable spring to my step while I hummed a toneless tune that I invented on the spot. I would have swayed my head from side to side but my little song number already had people looking at me funny. It was then that I realized that I had finally and completely gotten out of the dumps of my most recent heartbreak. Happy!
So I got home and was greeted with the new modem box that promises unlimited Internet access where we only had dial-up connection before! Yay! Happy!
Naturally I had to go online. I checked my multiply, my mail, my friendster, my facebook, my shelfari, my tagged, etc etc when a brilliant thought entered my mind: cyberstalk my semi-crush! Yay!
So I found out that he's in a long-term relationship. Seven-f*cking-years! *wails. Life is so unfair!!!
Then I got to work this morning. Well, well, the fact cannot be denied that I am now an office girl. Work starts when I time in at 9am and ends when I time out at 6pm. In between, I have an hour for lunch in which I have to time in and out again. In between 9am and lunch and lunch and 6pm, I get to have a fifteen-minute break each. Such is the reality of an office girl's life.
But guess what makes an ordinary office girl's life happy? Office supplies! I love office supplies! Today being a Wednesday, the day reserved for requesting the much sought after office supplies, I came out of the storage room heavy with a corkboard, colorful push pins and paper clips (in two different sizes, mind you!), a magazine holder, a stapler, a tube of glue, a tech pen, a roll of magic tape, a cutter, folders and envelopes, etc. So what if life is unfair? I have so many new things it's like the first day of school! It's like coming home from a shopping spree! Except they're free! Yay! Happy again!
So now I'm busy decorating my work area. That makes me happy. So yes, I must be happy considering how little it takes to make me one. If you don't mind, I'm gonna go put some cute colorful little post-its all over my work station now. After that, I'mma rearrange the magazine cut-outs on my new corkboard. *giggles
cute! good for you joni!
ReplyDeleteshow me your made new station ok?
there's a special day to request for office supplies?
ReplyDeletecan i bum a cork board from your office? hehe.
I will try and upload pictures when I deem it ready to be seen by all of you.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nuna, of course not!
office supplies are my secret vice, it's like crack...
ReplyDeleteYay! You understand! You understand! I'm not weird then! Well, at least not too weird. ;)
ReplyDeletewow, saya naman ng office supplies nyo. colorful.
ReplyDeletehooray for decorating your workstation! oi! ang saya ng facebook diba?!! i must add you
ReplyDelete*giggles. I'm obsessed with personalizing my workstation. :p O add me na! Bilis!
ReplyDeleteu know there's a saying about the 7th yr itch...... baka e2 n chance mo to steal him away!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, naisip ko rin yan. Pero naisip ko rin na di bale na lang kasi matatakot naman akong katihin din siya after 7 years of stealing and having him. Kaya ayun. Baka may kapatid....
ReplyDeletehah! i was just gonna bring up the 7yr itch! haha! love is a gamble!
ReplyDeleteKayo talaga! Actually, that was the first thing that I thought of when I found out how many years they've been together. But I was hoping that it'd be the girl who'd get um, itchy and um, leave him? Wala lang. Just a tiny assurance that he won't leave me after seven years. Hehehe! Not that I really care that much, you know. :p
ReplyDeleteLemme go look at my paper clips again...
that's just bad...
ReplyDeleteWhat's bad? If they were to break up, I wouldn't want him to be taking the blame. Not that there's someone who should be blamed. Anyway, I don't want to think too much about it because like I said, I don't really care that much. And that's because he's not my semi-crush anymore. He's now my ex-semi-crush.
