So here I am and it's 3am. I have a birthday coming up and I just noticed that a few people are following my very outdated wishlist on Elfster. So here I am (in vain) trying to find items to put on said wishlist.
Listening to Gangnam Style isn't helping my concentration at all.
My problem is, while I am not without many wants, I usually get them myself. It makes it hard to shop for me but I don't expect to be shopped for. Unless it's my bf then I better get something that is thoughtful and sweet.
I also have the unfortunate privilege of attending a science meeting dealio that takes place during my birthday week. There has been some talk about what to do to celebrate and I've had offers to go somewhere from co-workers. Thing is, the last (and I mean LAST) thing I would want to do is hang out with my co-workers on my birthday when I can spend that time with say....... FRIENDS AND FAMILY. Not that I have anything against going out with co-workers, but I really prefer to keep my social life and my work life VERY SEPARATE. Sure they might hear stories once in a while but I really don't need them seeing what I really do on my time off.
I mean seriously, I see you guys 40 hours a week! That's more than I see my dad, friends and even boyfriend at times (and I live with him).
Could my early birthday wish be that my work just leaves me alone to spend time with people I truly care about in an enriching relationship kind of way or does all of this make me sound ungrateful?
