One week into 2012 and it’s safe to say that I much preferred 2011.
I’ve dealt with multiple disappointments this week, all of which essentially boil down to the fact that it seems that inefficiency is the way to go these days. I can’t understand why people are so incapable of doing basic tasks (like oh, I don’t know, his or her JOB) but I suppose that’s the norm these days. The lower the expectations I have of people, the less disappointed I’ll be. (The only positive about all this is that I’ve received first-hand experience in why certain companies/institutions are having issues staying afloat or going bankrupt altogether. It’s a wonder as to why they are still semi-functional in the first place if all customers have been experiencing the same inefficiency as I have been.)
There are days when I entertain the notion of becoming a hermit so I won’t have to deal with the world and all its frustrations, and this whole week has been like that. It’s been unpleasant, to say the least. I’ve also been incredibly bored as none of my friends are in town yet and classes, work, and interning don’t start until much later. What’s a girl to do to keep herself entertained? One can only do so much reading, knitting, and cooking before even those hobbies get boring…
