No Reservations changed my life today- Day VI

I remember seeing the poster for No Reservations withmy ex-boyfriend. We walked out of theater and turned a corner and both stopped dead at this poster. It was truly horrific. The smaltzy looks on both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart’s face was beyond all comprehension and I said “That movie is going to suck hard”. Who knew it was going to change my life today? I turned on HBO to watch this movie. Abigail Breslin really is the best child actor in a long time. Oh sure I know everyone was all about Dakota Fanning a while back but she’s going to be in Twilight. I think that pretty much says everything we need to know about her current career. No Reservations wasn’t a good movie by far but it filled some time and sometimes it is just mesmerizing to look at the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones.

So what did I learn from No Reservations? Don’t make your career more important than living a happy life.

Fortunately I have already learned this already. If I hadn’t I’d still be at the really well paying job that was fulfilling to a ertain degree but soul crushing in so many others. So interviews, interviews, interviews. I’ve had three interviews so far and all went either great or okay.  Some were long and drawn out.  Others were quick and simple. I have another scheduled for Tuesday. In the mean time I’ve been meandering in and out of my last job barely there and  all the while refusing the status quo. I currently work in the service industry dealing with a variety of peole who are demanding and piss me the fuck off. I hate talking to the rude assholes who honestly feel they should treat another human with the indiginity of a command simply because they’re paying money (and not that much money) therefore for the last few days I’ve been telling them they are assholes and if they want help from me then they’ll act like human beings. It’s been a rousing success and I’ve yet to be fired. There is an incredible freedom that comes from knowing you’re going to quit a job. I can’t help but wonder if we shouldn’t all be allowed to live our lives knowing we don’t have to stick around in a place for too long then we’d be  much less stressed and more freer and….happy.

I read The Bell Jar and I have to be honest it is the first book I’ve finished in a while. I used to be of the opinion that one should always be reading a few books. I used to devour them in days or hours but it took me four days to finish the book and I kept having to stop myself from reading the synopsis on wikipedia. Wikipedia is the enemy of many a book and film.

So what am I doing today to change my life?

1. I completed two interviews today
2. I will be submitting at least ten more resumes today
3. Instead of spending money on new clothes (money I don’t truly have to spend) then I’ll be designing/sewing some with the sewing machine I bought a while back
4. I am going to clean the house and
5. Exercise

It will be the first time since Tuesday or Wednesday. I enjoy exercising. I wonder why I don’t do it more often. I also wonder why it is that I’ve had that thought at least once a week for as far back as I can remember yet it has never become a daily or even bi-weekly habit.

I think after finding a job then exercising has to be my main focus. Not for the weight-loss per se but for the good things exercise yields which as listed here are some pretty awesome effects.  So I’m going to go exercise then get back to the other stuff. Today will be a productive day. ….I hope.
