Ambiguous indicators of a possible transition into adulthood:


  • I just got a Linkedin account, though I am having trouble finding the motivation to actually fill out my profile--mostly because my work history feels like one giant, diffuse, aimless facepalm. (Also, come on Blogger, can't you autocorrect those two hyphens to an em-dash? I thought we lived in a civilized time.)

  • I have almost $3000 in my savings account... but I still live with my parents. I have made two extra payments on my car loan... but I still live with my parents.

  • I wore a classy dress to work on Thursday. But because it was from Target and very chintzy, the back seam split at some point during the day. I do not know when. I could have been walking around like that for hours.

  • I am dating a guy who does not have a Facebook account. He used to have one, but he deleted it. Yeah, let that one sink in.

  • I have a job involving project management. Is there any job description that sounds more grown up? I manage projects. But don't get too excited; they're small projects, so far, and I don't always 100% know what I'm doing. Indeed, sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing.

  • I usually drive home from work with the windows down, no air conditioning, because my body has basically permafrosted during the workday.

Anyway, dear reader, how are you?
