Is it really worth it for me to go to class when I sit here and read blogs and/or write? Eh, at least I'm getting attendance credit. Today we're learning about Nielsen data from an actual employee. Unfortunately it's not something fun like TV - no, we're talking about grocery stores. Whee!
"When I say 'Shopper Marketing' you say...."
"HO!!!"
"Shopper Marketing"
"HO!!!"
(it may be true that only the first line of that conversation was spoken aloud)
There was some flooding in Pittsburgh today and it shut down I-376 right at downtown. Of course I didn't know this in advance because I don't check the news before I leave the house, so when I was taking a work field trip I ended up in some crazy traffic. However, for the FIRST time in my life I was in the best lane. I'm NEVER in the correct lane. Not when I'm driving, not when I'm shopping. Never. You know the beginning of Office Space when the guy keeps changing lanes and as soon as he does the other lane moves so he switches back and then that lane stops? That's me. But not today. Today I was in a very long exit lane that kept moving and then I just got off of the highway and took a detour. Of course this meant that I completed my errand earlier and therefore got back to the office earlier, so I'm pretty much par for the course.
OH MY GOD WE'RE ONLY ON SLIDE 51 OF 130 AND WE'RE 1 HOUR 45 MIN INTO CLASS.
Oh man, the presenter was just confused by one of her slides. That's never a good sign.
Why is it that I can't get motivated to complete tasks? I have grand plans of reorganizing my clothes but I'm having a hard time just starting it. Maybe this weekend. (Yeah, check back with me next week and I doubt that I'll have done anything.)
Do you ever hear yourself talking, like having a full conversation with someone, and you feel like you're on auto pilot? Today in a meeting I was talking on and on but at points I suddenly realized that I wasn't even thinking about what I was saying. Words were pouring out of my mouth like water from a faucet. I was actually annoying myself a bit. Sometimes this happens during "hi how are you" conversations, but this time I was actually telling stories. I find this to be really disturbing. Am I disconnecting from myself? Is this a boredom coping mechanism? Typically I know what I've said, but lately I have stopped talking and then thought, "what did I just say?" I feel like I'm saying things that I don't mean or shouldn't have said. Maybe I should just shut up and listen more.
I'm hungry. It would be awesome if Crystal made chili today. I'm not sure if I can handle eating any more pasta salad.
Slide 68 of 130. 45 minutes left (oh God technically an hour left because this semester is a week shorter so we go until 9:15 gaaaaaaaaaaah)
