So i’m visiting this blog on March 1st, 2011 and I can’t believe its been 2 years. I switched to a tumblr blog because it worked well with the interesting little delights that I discovered across the internets…but, then again, oh lovely wordpress, there is something to be said about having a blog than doesn’t greet you with 80 different peoples’ ideas as soon as you open the dashboard.

there is something calming about the wordpress site. its neat. its organized. it has so many options. its structured in a way that requires me to think, if that makes any sense. My brain has to function more than hitting a “REBLOG” button. also, its less overrun by indie bird girls that want to own dress shops and take pictures.

Have user-friendly social networking sites made us less intelligent? Now that’s a burning question.

Now, don’t get your hopes up. Just because I’m in this lovely little catastrophe waitress corner with 3 S’s instead of 2 does not mean I will be giving any amazing insight or profound thought. This blog will probably still consist of my usual rambling and ranting and raving about god knows what. I really don’t deserve more than one place on the internet. But enough of that. I must reflect.

Okay, so 2 years later and here I am, back to square one. Trudging my way through school (that i hate, but its getting paid for) and working harder and harder but with no specific goal. I have this little thought that one day I will give some direction to my writing. Maybe I’ll give a voice to something I care enough about enough to stop talking about myself for one second? Or maybe i’ll eventually put all this self-reflection into a tightly bound book? Typed up. Nice and neat. Maybe I’ll even include the really good stuff that I wouldn’t dare put on the internet. Yeah…that self-deprecating narcissism would sell like hot cakes. No doubt.

catastropheHRgirl is a work in progress. Writing about the corporate world isn’t as fun. Its easier to find the little joys in life and in people as a cocktail waitress. Making jokes at the expense of people and the weird things they do when they’re out for drinks is harmless fun. However, in the corporate world, I may be setting myself up for quite a battle. After all, there is an image to uphold and maintain in the rat race, my friends. I wouldn’t want to indulge too much information of my fellow colleagues and threaten our company’s 3 page, single-spaced, Social Networking & Online Activity Policy. oh, the horror!!

So, until then, I’ll use this little space in the world to discuss the day to day of my day-to-day. I really liked my writing style from my posts back in 2009. It has been quite a while since I put that much free thought and emotion into organized (well, what I consider to be organized) thought. There must be something about this blog. This very blog itself. There is something inspiring in this sacred little combination of 1′s and 0′s. Like I lit a little candle back in 2008 and it has flickered through all the storms I’ve put it through, refusing to be abandoned.

I’m a very lucky girl. I’ve been through a lot in my short 22 years on this earth and although I have a lot ahead of me (hopefully), I have a feeling that the things I’ve learned to this point will stay with me and age to a ripe perfection, eventually being the perfect insight and perspective that I need to do the right thing or share my experiences with the right people. Until then, it will be interesting to see how it all pans out. 2 years ago if someone were to ask me where I’d be in March 2011, I would have never said “still in school and working in administration for a multi-specialty care organization of 37,000 employees while juggling a serving job, a boyfriend and a cat on the side”…but I suppose that just proves that I am not in complete control.

And I’m okay with that.
