jlo wants us all to just get right already

but duuuude, it's about dinosaurs!

work has been a bit bahhhh lately. i'm having a hard time being an overachiever in a chronically underappreciated role.

tonight was WIN's young women's achievement awards, which was nice if only for 1- the free champagne, and 2- the chance to talk to someone else who feels the same way. it makes it hard to support the cause when those you're working with seem just as capable of being bitchy and full of themselves as any daddy's little princess i've ever encountered. don't get me wrong, there are good ppl working there as well, and everyone works hard. i don't want anyone reading this and getting discouraged by the movement. all i'm saying is, the way you treat 'the little people' definitely has more of an impact than those supposedly on top may realize. remember that next time you're looking down.
