Jason's Daily Notes

It's busy and still stressy at work. I stayed late last night (7pm). Went to Whole Foods afterwards. Talked with Ruben. James didn't come back to the apartment as he said. Felix has 2 midterms today (essays). I spent the evening updating my music (overdue). I dreamt that I was an actor in the TV show Glee, in Malibu just hanging out with the rest of the cast.
I have an office lunch for Matt's last day, and I have to rush home to go to a dinner in downtown honoring my mom (and other employees).
More shareholders calling. I tried to get to work early (knowing that I'd be leaving early), but still I got here at 8:30. Brian was at LAX and almost met up with me this morning.
I need to continue my insurance training videos.
The weather is warm and dry and still. Loving it.
Music: Cee-Lo - Fuck You!
Costume idea: "Free candy" with sign pointing down my pants.
Lunch: Firm outing to Johnnie's Pizzeria ("across the street" - but it takes 15 minutes to walk there, same distance going through the mall or not).
I still don't know that guy's name at work. And I sat next to him during lunch. AWKWARD.
I didn't pass the FSOT.
I'm preparing myself to be disappointed with this election :/
Busy at work. Busy busy busy. Stressy.

Drove back to Glassell Park. It took 1 hr and 20 mins. FML. Scarfed down some food before my meeting. There was more food there (Yani's birthday). I met Yazmina and Jasmin. I learned about ILIT.
Stayed at home last night. Woke up late - 8:30. WTF?! Rushed out the door by 8:45 and didn't get to work until nearly 10. Thanks to construction on Olympic. And the usual backup getting off the end of the 2. FML FML.
The weather is dry, Santa Ana winds blowing. I love it. My left ear feels slightly sunburned (from the long commute).
Music: The Streets - Dry Your Eyes; Taking Back Sunday - Sink Into Me
Got a phone call from a recruiter regarding an assistant position with an ad agency. Not for me.
No facebook today.

Watched Chuck, HIMYM. Had only chocolate for dinner.
Jogged.
Work. Feel awkward and clumsy today.
Music: Toto - Africa
Did nothing at work. Read a bit more Omnivore's Dilemma. Messed around with MS paint. Made a spreadsheet. That's about it.

Back to work. Woke up early (like 6:30am) and watched an episode of TAR to get my energy up. It worked!
Lots of shareholders calling today. I have to comfort them and listen to their complaints/rants against lawyers.
Rain showers should finally be clearing out.
Music: Fall Out Boy - Chicago Is So Two Years Ago

Balance.

Lunch: Mom's curry.

Reading The Omnivore's Dilemma.

I should plan my days and week better.

St Bernard Walk-a-Thon! DID IT. 16 laps = over 5 km. Go me.
Finished at 10am. So early. I had the whole day ahead of me.
Burritos. $0.50. Dim sum at house afterwards.
Continued setting up the new computer.
Continued cloudy weather.
Took my car to the dealership for maintenance. Turns out I didn't have to until Dec / Jan. Checked out Best Buy afterwards.
Went out to Alhambra. 38 Degrees bar had its "Oktoberfest." Chris had to set up his fantasy league and wouldn't join us. Costume party in Irwindale. The necklace I had made me a "world cup fan". God I hate the stress of costumes.

Sunday. Woke up at 12 noon. It was so late. I felt like I did nothing all day. I started watching some of the insurance training videos.
Mom made curry. Uncle washed my car. Without me asking. I felt I didn't deserve it.
Began (finally) to watch The Amazing Race.

Went home after work yesterday. It took 1hr 10min. Had the SBS meeting.
We got a new computer! (my mom did.) I helped set it up. Didn't end up going anywhere else last night.
Drove to work. Took an hour on Olympic.
Finance seems to be the right route for me.
The Nissan Leave showcase is going on today outside the office building.
President Obama is speaking today at USC.
The SBS Walk-a-Thon is tomorrow.
I'm now automatically contributing to my retirement account! Feels so weird to think abou it.
Lunch: Leftover chaufa.
It's his birthday.

Watched American Beauty.

Work was draining as usual. I needed to recharge
Met with Michelle and Omri at Canters.
Weather still murky. Should be clearing out tomorrow. Not soon enough.
My sore throat continues to bug me. It's annoying to swallow.
Lunch: Chaufa. Farmers market. $8.
Work. Meh. Moved boxes downstairs to the recycling area. Looking up corporate service addresses.
Going back to Glassell tonight.

I went to the WFG meeting last night. Had to suit up. I'm on my way to being a certified financial broker. Oh boy.

Returned to the apartment ~ 10:45. Gert was asleep. Philip wasn't there. I immediately passed out.

I dreamt that I was living in Rome. It was nice, I was in an old Victorian-era bank/office building/hotel, and I updated my current city to Rome. Everyone was jealous. Sigh.

Music: Ke$ha - Take It Off
I still have a sore throat and am tired.
Helped clean out ND's papers - it made me think - every possession we own and cherish is eventually just going to be thrown away. Stuff is simply not important.
i got to discover the office's storage space in the basement.
Lunch: Frozen burrito
I still hate this murky, damp weather.
