Day 2: 129 pounds

I am so excited that spring has finally sprung! There is nothing better than the beginning of spring and the beginning of fall. They always seem to come around just when you think you can't bear one more solitary second of the previous season. Of course this beautiful warm weather is going to vanish as soon as Saturday hits, and I can't even enjoy a nice walk tonight because I have drawing class. Maybe I can convince the teacher to let us have class outside, but everyone knows teachers never go for that.

Sometimes working for a clothing company feels so pointless. I like my particular job when taken out of context, but there's so much pressure to be proud of the brand, blah blah blah, which is tough considering I'm really not all that into clothes. We had this big meeting today to discuss the future of the website, and everyone has all these grandiose plans. And the ideas themselves are pretty cool, but I kind of feel like, "Jesus people, it's just clothes, we're not splitting the atom or curing cancer here. Can't we just do our jobs and go home?" Why am I expected to be so emotionally attached to a for-profit company that caters to people who are willing to spend $168 for a hoodie? I suppose one could argue that the lifestyle is what drives people to purchase things, and that money pays my salary. It's just tough for me to drum up so much excitement for a somewhat shallow "cause."
