Well first of all, I feel like I owe you an apology. To say that I have been busy the past 3-4 weeks would be something of an understatement. I know, I know… Too busy to even sit down and write one single blog post? Yes. That busy.

So I might as well tell you that the past 4 weeks have been absolute hell on wheels when it comes to work. 12-14 hours of work everyday, weddings and mandatory social gatherings every weekend while doing even more work, well…I think you’re starting to get the idea. A trip to hell and back doesn’t come without its rewards as I have taken a part of new and exciting ventures, met new and exciting people, and lost new and exciting years off of my life thanks to all this new and exciting stress. It’s rude to talk on about work, so I’ll just say that in the end, it’s all been worth it. Knowing that tomorrow will be the last day in some time that I’ll wake up at 4:45am, work until 6-7pm, barely eat, and get shitty sleep will be better than all the last days of school combined. Freedom. How sweet she be.

I’ve wondered what I will do in my absence of extreme stress, and honestly, I haven’t a clue what will become of me. The mere thought of arriving at work with little to no insane daily challenges and other-worldly goals will bore me, I’m afraid. I’ll have to get my fix by wrestling bears doused in gasoline in a flaming pit while writing various lesson plans and process documents. Even then, will it be enough? Only time will tell.

My guilty pleasure as of late has been something that, against all of my better judgment, is very NOT myself. While I occasionally dabble in the sinful bliss that is known as Web2.0 (as you can tell by the shiny logo affixed to the top of this page), I have to admit that I have fallen prey to the trap that is Twitter. Out of sheer boredom from having nothing planned during my last weekend, I decided to sign up (hey, all those kids were doing it, and they seem pretty cool.) and join the twitter republic. For those unwashed Web2.0 masses, Twitter.com is a site that allows you to update your current status in life, both on and offline. For example, I got to the site via my iPhone, broadcast to whoever cares that I’m currently at work, or going to Publix for some groceries, or out geocaching. Sounds pretty lame, doesn’t it? Well, after a few days of use, I must say that this would be a VERY useful if everyone that I knew used the service. I find it would be MUCH easier to know what someone was doing by pulling up a simple status window versus calling them, potentially interrupting whatever they were doing at the time, and then spending the next 5 minutes apologize for interrupting. I’ll give it a couple more weeks to see if it’s something I’m really interested in or not. Chances are that I’ll probably be stalked by some 60-year old sexual predator, you know, like how ALL good internet stories end.
