I believe a certain song goes like this:
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
hey, hey, hey,
Goodbye.

Dateline - My Bedroom
2:30 am.

What was that horrid noise? …
There it is again. …
Is that Esther snoring? …
No. …
Where is it coming from? …
It’s under the bed. …
If I were 5 it would be the boogie man. …
I’m not 5. …

Oh holy ****! …
That’s a cat snoring!
Damn cat. …

*Drift off to sleep again*

me: Do you not like the office “lounge”?
co-worker: um…NO
me: I feel for you.
co-worker: I can’t listen to this crap anymore
me: Do you need to come back here and get some work done?
co-worker: I don’t care about [Jane]’s ankles!
me: Oh come on!
co-worker: Nah, I’m fine. It’s just really annoying.
me: I care about [Jane]’s ankles
co-worker: And look how “familiar” all these professionals are being with Tiffany, a student!
me: That’s true… but you know they are AP
me: that’s the difference… they can’t date a student, where as you and I can co-worker: well…I’ll get right to that
me: Infact… we should… we should both start dating Jenn… See what [boss] says.
co-worker: LOL
co-worker: I think her head would explode
me: Then what are we waiting for?
co-worker: hehe
me: I think it would be hard to explain to my wife that I’m dating a student…
co-worker: Most likely
co-worker: Ah…well, it makes sense. I probably would be if I were in that situation. And you’re such a dog, too.

So at work…

I have been sitting through “Advanced Connections” Customer Service training. Very rudimentary stuff. While fading in and out of semi-conscious states I have been thinking about work outside of my current job. There is not a lot of room for growth and I have been thinking more and more about the freelance stuff that I could be doing. Part of doing the freelance thing is getting my environment (at the home office) to be as creatively inspiring as possible.

Esther and I watched this show last night Small space, Big Style, on HGTV. I love this show. It is amazing how creative people can become when they are forced to live in a minimalist style. I am slowly working towards this. The thing that Esther and I noticed was that every one of these “small spaces” had huge budgets. Couples had custom cabinetry, very chic and modern coffee tables that fold up and such.

The question is… how do I achieve this zenith of haute couture minimalizim on a very minimalist budget?
