the blues are still blue

Its day 2 of the nicotine free campaign on myself...and i must say that holding up pretty well-all things considered. First thing i did yesterday morning was to unconsciously grab my lighter and head out to the other room for a smoke, only to realize that i wasnt suppose to anymore--good thing i gave away all my cigarettes to our security guards the night before. I decided to chew on some gum instead.

I was a mess at the workplace that morning, every little bittle of annoyance was magnified to something epic. For instance, when i heard one of my employees singing to the tagalog version of rihanna's umbrella which goes something like "payong..payong..payong..eh eh eh..sa ilalim ng aking payong"- i told her in the most sarcastic tone ever produced, "wow, you should quit your job and be one of those singers who join every singing contest at their barangay". She laughed then later on got upset when she finally realized i was being an asshole.

So before i relegated myself to being the cliched cranky boss i decided to gett off much earlier than usual and went to see a movie all by my lonesome--which i always find a more satisying experience than the usual two person and more viewing norm. Before the movie started, i noticed that the couplea few seats away from me kept starting at me and mumbling some jibberish-probably thinking its wierd that im watching a movie by myself. I grabbed my fone and called a friend "hey, do you find it creepy and rude when strangers stare at you inside a moviehouse, some people really lack the proper breeding". Im sure that they heard what i said because right that instance, they finally stopped their shenanigans.

I havent done any considerable damage so far today, i think ill be fine

you are holding on pretty well.
watching movies alone is the most normal thing, it's the people around us who are not normal.
