Virtual Post-its

Mood: bored
Listening to: dsl troubleshooting by team mates

i got this baduy post-it note just within eye-level near my pc. it reads: POST YOUR FREAKIN' NOTES. a post-it to remind me to post my notes. bleagh! redundant and corny, don't you think?

i've been on a career-low regarding how i handle my calls lately. auto-zeroes galore. one every month. it's like your period: as much as you'd like to avoid it -- you can't. *sigh* 

speaking of post-its, i have this weird pre-occupation with these teeny, sticky notes since a major, soap-operatic break-up i had with a romance turned-sour. crazy as it may seem, i used to have neon green, hot pink, flourescent yellow, striped, dotted, zig-zagged, garfield-shaped, mickey mouse-shaped, and even a coca-cola-shaped post-it with the famous last words: *** (previous heartbreaker's name, aka bane of my adult love life) IS NOT AROUND ANYMORE!!! my sister used to tell me she'll have to eventually sweep under my bed just to see if my marbles are in there. i didn't think i was crazy at that time. i profoundly and stubbornly called it COPING. 

coping via post-it works, actually. though it's a bit of a strain on the budget, it's a lot cheaper than buying a new pair of shoes or the hippest hip-huggers every month. it's a lot healthier than bingeing out on double rocky road ice cream and pizza. it's friendlier on the lungs and on the liver as compared to cigarettes and beer. a lot colorful than writing on a plain diary, i might add. and most of all, it's an everyday, in-your-face reminder that literally jumps out at you whenever you feel like wallowing in self-pity and misery when ever you're alone in your room.

now, i suppose you'd like to know if this worked for me.  of course it did! it was easy, really. i'm already over that sorry excuse for a man. it took me approximately PHP1,725.00, 75 sticky pads, 2 years, 6 months, and 17 days. the healing process is a bit costly and slow, but i assure you, you'll eventually get there.

sure as hell beats buying a new pair of shoes a week.
