it isn't as good when it's online

so yesterday was weird. today was just as weird. i seem to have hit the bermuda triangle of work. general funkiness is going down. yesterday i flew down to LA for work for the day. i left early and got home late. it was the equivalent of me driving to San Jose or something for the day. i guess the big difference was that if i ran into someone in the airport i wasn't going to be trading insurance info and i guess at the airport there's slightly more searching of my personal belongings... and bare feet.
anyway... i was in LA for the day. on the plane i sat next to (me at the window, her the aisle) a personal trainer who is looking to build her client list here (she moved here from LA). as she's local. we're going to connect next week. anyway... that was an odd random thing. i was in LA to do a quick presentation about managing your career. yeah. that went ok. it turned into a bit of complaining session... eh. i got a good lunch from it. yum. so that was weird. and then i get back to my computer, check my email - org change! more weird. we're in a team structure and i'm feeling very neutral about the whole thing. weird. i never feel neutral. i'm usually passionate one way or the other... alas neutral. weird. so to feel better i decided i'd look online to buy some shoes. i always feel better about life with new shoes. regardless of how much weight i gain or lose - shoes (& handbags) always fit! unfortunately the online shoe shopping wasn't as good as shopping at the mall. perhaps it was because i wasn't surrounded by lots of styles - but either way it isn't as good when it's online. fortunately i was able to fly home early. yeah.
today i was psyched about work. well, i was excited as much as i usually am. but when i got there - got on my first call of the day (7am) - it all went weird again. i won't get into it - but i have the urge to buy shoes again. i have to go to target tomorrow and i'm doing a girl shopping day with one of my good friends... perhaps that will help me feel less weird.
now, where's that glass of wine to get me out of my weird stage.
