Angela Tung Oversharing on the internet since 2005.

As I write like crazy for submission to online and other publications, I can’t think of anything to write for this blog, except to complain that:

It’s noisy as my office windows are being worked on. Okay, at least I have an office. And a window.

It’s too hot.

The journalist daughter of my parents’ friends is beginning to annoy me. I wrote to her last week, and she suggested meeting up Thursday or Friday this week. I said, okay Thursday night, and wrote today to confirm. She wrote back, “Sorry Anna May, things have been crazed. Tomorrow night? Did we set something up? It’s doable, although I have a dinner from 6:30-9:30. What did you have in mind?”

Um, what I had in mind was our whole email conversation.

I hate it when people use their “crazy lives” as an excuse for disorganization and forgetfulness. Still, I know she’s doing me a favor so I nicely suggested tomorrow afternoon instead, if that would be easier for her. Sorry to be a nerd, but I don’t feel like schlepping out at 9:30 when I have to get up early for work tomorrow.

If the chat doesn’t work out with her, I’m not going to sweat it. There are other writers I can talk to.

But I’m not all about the complaints (really, I’m not!). This week I’m happy that:

Work has been pretty quiet (knock wood). My boss is caught up in this other project and has pretty much been leaving me alone. Except tomorrow morning we have a catch-up meeting, which usually opens the floodgates for lots of unnecessary work.

I’m home this weekend. I love traveling and visiting friends and family, but I also love having the balance of time at home. Plus my apartment needs a good scrubbing.

ES invited me up to Boston next weekend. More traveling, woohoo!

My 1 PM meeting just got canceled. Double woohoo!

Now if I’d just win the lottery. Though I guess I should start to play first. Details, details.
