I really hate being the complainer. And I've been doing it alot since graduation, so this is now my outlet for all those things that my friends are really sick of hearing. I am currently working as an intern at a University Press. I have a cubicle right next to a man that really gets on my nerves, mainly because he's pompous and sound exactly like my bum uncle, who I can't stand that much. For most of the summer, I've been doing mail, writing things, and doing research for us to become new vendors for different stores. This also involves making phone calls, which I really don't like all that much. And if I ended up doing this as a job, I would be stuck making cold calls for quite a while. Currently, I can't make phone calls while he's here because he speaks in such a loud voice that if I were on the phone, I wouldn't be able to hear who I would be speaking to. I am also not very motivated to do well with that. I just want to simply stop coming because I'm stuck doing the same things every day. It's not stuff I like, nor am I exceptionally good at it, and I normally just twiddle my thumbs b/c I don't have enough to do. I really want to get out of here. That's why I really hope this internship with Thomas Nelson really works out. I just have this feeling that they'll never be lacking in things that need to be done, more people would be willing to teach me different things, and I would simply be happier.

I really try to not think about how depressed I truly am working here, but sometimes, when I really think about it, I just want to cry because I am not happy at all. I want out. I want to work with people who are nice. I wish I was back at Cardinal Hill. I absolutely loved working there. Fundraising and events, knowing that what I was doing really was helping people. I think I need to make a trip over there sometime soon... Maybe it will get me out of this awful funk.

I need to get back to work, although I don't really know what I'll actually do. The man is currently on the phone, so I can't make calls of my own. I'll go see if someone else has something for me to do.
