Working 9-5...

I realize that I was the last person who posted on this blog, and it's kind of lame to do it again, but, at this point, I don't care.  It's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and I'm not really sure why people work this hour, because no one else wants to pick up their phones or respond to their emails.  Everyone just wants to get it over with and go home, so they just sit at their desks and stare into oblivion.  Or go on Facebook.  Or do something less-than-productive.  I'm doing my best here, but I'm not going to lie--the weekend looks pretty good right now, and I'm sort of just waiting for it to hit me.  Thus the blog post.

It could also be that I'm in an office, which, I've discovered, does not work for me.  It simply doesn't.  I go a little crazy.  Thus, today was the best day ever--I spent practically no time by my desk.  Went to a great lunch with Perla and John, our contact at Volunteer Center, and then I met up with Caroline for a meeting with an interested organization.  Most hilarious experience of my life.  I'm on the phone with another organization and I get this frantic text from her telling me that she needs me...  Apparently she wasn't expecting the full on board meeting (6 people just staring at her) that they had ready for her.  It was intimidating, from what I gather, but the girl breezed through the conference and everyone loved her by the end. 

I'm seriously rambling now trying to eat up time while at the same time be the least bit productive.  The main thing that I took away from this week (and, I suppose, all the weeks previous--a cumulative learning process, if you will) is that I do not function well in an office environment.  I get a little sleepy, a little crazy, and it's all just bad news.  But the good news is that I've found a solution--get out of the office.  Site visits, meetings, the works.  I'm not sure that my real, grown-up job will allow me to be as flexible.  I have 3 years to either get over it or find a non-desk job.  Fun stuff.

Ok enough rambling.  Going to go do research on volunteer blogs or something.  22 minutes until the weekend!

P.S. Am insanely jealous of everyone going to see Batman this weekend.
