Future. Career. That sort of thing.

I can't help but feel as though I'm setting myself up for a job as a supervisor of some sort down the road. I'm not particularly awesome in any area of my field, but I seem to have more of a basic understanding of all the general areas regardless.

Also, when people I barely know refer to me as an up and comer, or a talent, or whatever, I sooo want to correct them and tell them what a hack I actually am, even though I know they'd tell me I'm wrong/modest/whatever.

Furthermore, treating your boss like a five year old because he's drunk off his ass and making sure he gets into a cab okay is... weird. I'd always been under the illusion that once we all passed the age of 20-ish we'd stop acting like children, drunk or not. Turns out I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Oh well. My boss-person trying to trip me at 11pm on a thursday night because... I dunno... I was trying to convince him he should just get a cab and go home... I'll just chalk it up to him being, as mentioned above, drunk off his ass, and not really knowing what the fuck he was doing. Seeing how he feels and confronts tonight's events tomorrow will be interesting.

Walking home from the subway last night I saw a girl. We were walking opposite directions so I got a pretty good look at her face. She'd been crying. Her makeup had started running at some point and it looked like she'd wiped her tears with her sleeve. I wanted to stop and ask her if she was okay, but it was too late,; We'd already passed each other. To talk to her I would've had to raise my voice or run and catch up with her. Either option would've just made her uncomfortable and it would all just be an awkward mess. A strange boy running up to you and asking you if you're okay when you've already had a less than stellar night is not something interpreted as the genuine friendliness it might be, unfortunately.

I hope she's feeling better now.
