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?

And how do you like managing projects? In my experience, at some point I always felt like the projects managed me. And congrats on the milestones. In the next month, I really will have to buy a hose, so between the two of us that pretty much does make us actual adults. ;)
