APHIE'S RANTS AND PIECES
December 31, 2004 - 10:48 a.m. - And a New Year Awaits. One of my New Year's Resolutions would be not to second-guess myself. I will go with my instinct, my first instinct on something. Lately, I have been ignoring that instinct for some more rational thinking, and it has ended up costing me a lot of time, effort and agony. For example: Three weeks ago I was to attend this interview. The resume I sent in had a different set of facts in it, dates were changed and all that. Before the interview they asked me to fill out this form, this job application form, most companies do that so they can have your signature on record. So I did. The first time I did it, I went with the same set of facts on the resume, after all that's my story and I am sticking to it, right. But no, something crops up and tels me, don't do that, let's be honest and all that crap, so I second guess myself and change up the facts. I get to the interview and there are differing facts laid out on the table in front of the interviewer. Very confusing, very distrusting, very discouraging. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. Another example, I ordered my books about two weeks ago. Inclusive on the list were two statute books, they cost about 14 pounds. Just before I hit the "confirm transaction" button I asked myself, do you really want these two statue books considering the fact that there is such a thing as the world wide web, and you can possibly download this stuff of the Internet. The bad part is, it costs 6 pounds per book to ship them to me, so in total they cost about 26pounds. I still ordered them and they delivered them yesterday. I open the school's study guide last night, and there it was the website adddress where we can freely and conformatbly download the book. I fucked up. I will return the books and lose my 12 pounds shipping and handling, and then of course, the interest charges on my credit card, and the interest rate charges for the conversion to foreign currency. The repercussion is endless, all because I couldn't make a wise financial decision for myself. I also have to pay to ship them back as well. I just wish I hadn't cost myself that much money, it's not like the money comes readily to me, I work so very hard for my money. So why me? As we all move into the New year, I hope it is a more whimsical year for me, filled with wonderful surprises. I hope God remembers me this year. i keep saying that. I know the whole world is crumbling, and there are so many more important issues in this world than Me, and my life squabbles. But I hope He takes a second to just stop and say, you know what this is Aphie's second, and I am gonna give her something she's been nagging about. I promised her I would. So here it is. That's what I want, and pray for this New Year. back track - fast forward - history aphie's chronicles - aphie's transcripts aphie's other personality - aphie's diary rings tell aphie you read her work -
