So I had my first day of work at Pictsweet today. (For those of you who don't know, Pictsweet is a company that packages and sells frozen vegetables.) I'm basically a secretary for a guy who does accounting things. I am an English major. Accounting things don't compute with me. So mostly I file things.
Lots and lots of things.
Like ten thousand sheets of paper crossed my desk today. Not even kidding.
Oh, and I work in a cubicle. It's like stepping back into the early 90s lol. Though I suppose some businesses (like Pictsweet) do still do the whole cubicle maze thing. My cubicle is right outside my boss's door, so he can check on me and make sure I haven't filed anything incorrectly. Which I'm quite likely to do in these first few days. His filing system makes no sense to me... mostly because everything's in triplicate and color-coded and it all has to go to a different place. And I'm not sure where anything goes at all. So I have about forty sticky notes stuck to the side of my cubicle to remind me where everything is supposed to end up.
Yeah. On the bright side, I get to eat lunch with Katie every day. So this is good.
Scenario: You get a text message from a long-time friend, asking for a favor. You reply to ask what they need, and they answer that they would like you to kiss their significant other.
What the hell do you do with that?
That happened to me tonight. It was freaking awkward. I've been friends with both of them for the longest time, and yeah, the guy did have a crush on me for a while, and I on him, but neither of us would ever dream of doing anything about it because he was in a relationship with one of my very good friends. For a little while they were on a break and he asked me out. I said no. That was also my answer tonight. Apparently this is a fantasy of theirs - including a third person in their relationship. As much as I love the both of them, I just can't be the third wheel. Or third partner, as it were. And I think she might be mad at me, because I called him and asked him what was going on after talking to her.
And to top it all off, there's this guy I like. He's been a good friend of mine for a while, but he was in a relationship, so I just kind of had a minor crush on him, and that was that. But now he's single. Only he likes this other girl, and he confides in me about it. This is also awkward. While I want to be helpful so that he ends up happy, I also want to be selfish and sabotage it. I won't, though. I don't think I could do that.
My life is so weird.
