I'm dreaming! I'm dreaming! Come on, wake up! Wake up. Wake up. It's just a dream. It's just a dream. Go away. Away. Disappear.
I just realized that I have volunteer work tommorow, but I'm sitting on the floor with my laptop watching Spirited Away. Too comfortable to move even though I have to wake up early tommorow. So I guess I'll wait until the movie is over, even though it's in Cantonese and I've seen it at least 15 times already.
Anyways, I've heard people complain that office work is the most boring job ever, but in some ways it could be a lot worse. I kind of like organizing things, stamping return addresses, sticking labels, filing alphabetically, etc. It's nice to do something simple once in a while, and know that you're doing it right.
Five hours a day can get a bit boring though, I brought my DS last time, but I think I'll work on pins next time during my lunch break. It may be stupid, but I feel a little more productive sewing then when I'm playing Cake Mania.
It's entertaining to listen to middle-aged cantonese ladies gossip with each other in the office. They're all friends and have children about my age, but they're not sure I understand them, so mostly I get left alone. The office has about 8 asian women working on paper work, and a supervisor who I'm supposed to report to. Everytime I finnish a job I have to walk past everyone to get something else to do, and I'm afraid that I'll embarass myself by dropping a stack of files. ;_;
The radio is always tuned to a station that plays songs that were popular in the '90s or a chinese news station with the tackiest ads. I think my chinese has gotten worse over the years, and this should be a chance to brush up, but I just try to tune out the radio. The stereotypical women's voices in the commercials are really distracting and melodramatic. I would listen to my own music, but I'm not sure if it would be considered rude.
One last thought, Chihiro in the beginning of Spirited Away really reminds me of myself, which is pretty sad considering that she's several years younger then me. She's indecicive, scared of everything, inept and a general klutz, which is very entertaining but you can't help but feel sorry for her. Hopefully I'm marginally less pitiful.
