Friday, May 8, day 5: I really think I am going to get carpal tunnel.
Monday, May 11, day 6: I'm beginning to slightly prefer my adult job over my kid job. This is weird. I don't like it. Bad.
Wednesday, May 13, day 7: People at work actually spoke to me today. Also I drove home with no shoes which is actually illegal and has nothing to do with being an adult.

Tuesday, June 2, day 12: Today I removed 438 staples from weaker-than-tissue-paper. It was annoying.
Wednesday, June 3, day 13: Conference talks, eating at my desk, and taking all my breaks outside literally got me through work today.
Friday, June 5, day 14: I could have stolen hundreds of identities today if 1) I had the desire to do so, and 2) I had any clue how to go about it.
Monday, June 8, day 15: Today I seriously am evaluating my existence and I decided I hate what I do at work because I am serving no meaningful purpose and that sucks.
Tuesday, June 9, day 16: I am most certainly reading Eat, Pray, Love, with the sole purpose of living vicariously through Elizabeth Gilbert while I am stuck in an office in Utah.
Wednesday, June 10, day 17: Today at work my biggest sense of happiness came from the little organized piles of used staples, paper clips, sticky notes, and other office supplies.
Thursday, June 11, day 18: If it wasn't the most mind-numbingly boring thing I've ever done in my life, I would feel proud that my boss lets me do second quality control as a newbie to the company. But it is, so I don't.
Friday, June 12, day 19: Today while I was eating lunch in my car, I looked in my rear-view at the Subaru behind me and I realized for the first time in my life that Subaru backwards is ur a bus and I laughed too hard.
Monday, June 15, day 20:I wore my new white summer dress to work today and essentially spilled on it every food item that I had in my possession. I refuse to buy into the Monday stigma, but...

Wednesday, June 17, day 22: There was a baby earwig on my desk. #yay

Friday, June 19, day 24: In an attempt to avoid slitting my wrists, I made things interesting by using a right-handed mouse with my left hand for the last two hours of work. Oooooh.

Monday, June 22, day 25: Today I sat working at the computer for 9 hours straight. Then I came home and did more on the computer for two hours. Love it.
Tuesday, June 23, day 26: I had macaroni and cheese for lunch today because I'm actually five years old.
Thursday, June 25, day 27: Yesterday I didn't go to work because my whole body was covered in hives when I woke up. Today my whole body is still covered in hives, but when you're an adult, you have to be all responsible and crap.
Friday, June 26, day 28: When I get off work today, I'm going to go home and sit around because I'm stupid tired.
Monday, June 29, day 29: whoa whoa 29 29. Mondays are actually so much better than Fridays because on Fridays the whole week has built up in your system and you're exhausted and it sucks. But on Monday, even though the weekend is over and that's lame, you've had two days to hang out and now you have energy and it's better. You see?
Tuesday, June 30, day 30: whoa whoa 30 30. At 8 am I vomited in the (probably) most used toilet in the building. It was the highlight of my day for sure not.(Nobody at the office knows I did this. Shhh.)
Wednesday, July 1, day 31: I don't even know what to say today except I went outside in jeans at 2:30 and it was like 7million degrees and I wanted to punch myself.

Wednesday, July 8, day 35: I ate cucumber sandwiches for lunch today and felt very sophisticated.
Thursday, July 9, day 36: All I was thinking about at work was coming home to AP scores and a new telephone. Then I came home and got really excited because I got the highest score and super frustrated because my phone was a nightmare to set up. Then I broke my favorite earrings that are basically irreplaceable, and I legit sobbed for half an hour, so it's been an interesting day.
Friday, July 10, day 37: I now understand some of my friends who graduated last year and became totally antisocial because they worked a lot. I am becoming this.
Monday, July 13, day 38: Three months till I'm 19 waaaat.
Tuesday, July 14, day 39: I could write a book called How to Carefully Unbind a Book Using Only Your Hands and Dull Scissors, then I could carefully unbind it using only my hands and dull scissors.
Wednesday, July 15, day 40: Today I told my boss that I'm going to live in China next month, and actual tears fell from her eyes. I knew she likes me.
Thursday, July 16, day 41: Lunch is still the best part of the day.
Friday, July 17, day 42: I thought about staying an extra 2 hours at work today to make up for the hours I missed while I was getting my shots on Tuesday, but then I added up how much money I would actually get for that, and I cried inside and left at the normal time.
Monday, July 20, day 43: I hate working full time. I hate it. I hate how stupid ew busy my life is and that I never get anything done because I'm doing everything and still don't have time to do it. And I can never have actual conversations with people about important crap because we're all too busy because we all freaking work and I hate it. And I never sleep and I hate it. I might as well get used to medicating myself nights anyway.
Tuesday, July 21, day 44: It was -139* at my place of employment and I thought I was going to die.
Wednesday, July 22, day 45: Today is a better day than Monday was mentally.

Monday, July 27, day 47: Today I found out from my coworkers that the last handful of people who filled my position before me all either quit without notice or just walked out one day and didn't come back. I didn't think it was that bad but #perseverance I guess.
Tuesday, July 28, day 48: The system has been down since Thursday so everyone is running out of work. At 11 am, boss told us we could leave if we wanted and I was on that opportunity like mud on pig.
Wednesday, July 29, day 49: electronic staplers are my friends.
Thursday, July 30, day 50: I'm actually a little sad to be leaving my job even though it's not super fantastic. I'm just starting to really get comfortable here and know the system. Sad day. But not really because China.
Friday, July 31, day 51: I stayed for a long time today and I was the last one. I was doing something on the front table facing a wall and the entire huge room was empty behind me so I swore there was someone creeping on me.
Monday, August 3, day 52: DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO WRITE 8 TODAY INSTEAD OF 7 IT WAS A REAL STRUGGLE WHY IS IT SO HARD.
Tuesday, August 4, day 53: I sliced the side of my hand with a Manila folder today. Worse than a cardboard cut for sure.
Wednesday, August 5, day 54: Today my boss asked me to scan maps. I don't like scanning maps. So I made this.
#passiveaggression
Thursday, August 6, day 55: Today's not really Thursday because I'm working on Saturday soooo.
Friday, August 7, day 56: This week, as my last full week, I was determined to get 40 hours on the time clock, because I've always been just a couple minutes away. Every week this happens. I clocked out today five minutes less than 40 hours because I'm working tomorrow. No big deal. Two hours later my boss texts me that we aren't working tomorrow. Peeved.
Monday, August 10, day 57: For my breaks today I laid in the back seat of my car and complained in my head about how dumb the next two days are going to be.
Tuesday, August 11, day 58: It's really hard to want to do your job when tomorrow is your last day. It's easier when there are really good donuts in the break room.
Wednesday, August 12, day 59:
Hardly looked at the clock at all today, left on good terms and finished every task I ever started. Mission accomplished.
