I've noticed people tend to write about their jobs on their blogs fairly often. Well, for those of you who might not be in the know, I work for a particularly unpopular branch of the federal government. My job means next to nothing to me. I do a spectacular job of forgetting about it the moment I walk out the door. They pay me decently and I get health insurance. I get a few months off each year in a weird arrangement but, really, I couldn't give a shit what happens in these four walls. It's all ass-backwards, bureaucratic, paper-shuffling BS.

That's why I finally sent in my application for grad school yesterday. I just can't stand the thought that this will be my life from now on. I've been here 4 1/2 years. Thankfully, I'll probably be able to keep this job while in school but being in school means I can at least see another life for myself somewhere down the line.
