My Day

I’ve been on Diaryland for over 2 years now. I’m so impressed with myself. For someone who has a history of not finishing 50% of the things they start, that’s impressive.

The main reason I’ve kept up with it is my desire to pick up html skills. But I also like the idea of documenting my life – as much for myself as for others to see. That said, I’m going to try and post more regularly about more stuff. Not just ‘here’s my day’, but thought processes too.

Hehe, on that note – here’s my day. Today has been weird for me, lots of random thoughts:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw James W last night. I haven't seen him in months. Every time I watch Garden State I think of James W. He talks just like Zach Braff. I finally called James up and we met for drinks last night. I had a really good time. I realized though that we've known each other for probably like, 4 years now but I still don't really know him. Why is this?

We live in the same city, have many things in common, many common interests, we enjoy each other's company. Yet, there are month long lulls in our hang out sessions. Why?

I bitch and moan about not having enough friends/social options yet I can't seem to maintain those I have.

Maybe the fact that I view it as 'maintenance' is part of the problem, huh?

*sigh* - making St. Patty's Day resolution to keep in touch with those I care about.

On my way home from drinks with James W I received a voicemail from a woman I work with. She had been in a horrible accident and had been taken via helicopter to a nearby hospital. She was the ‘hysterical passenger’ in the tow truck – she’s going to be okay.

She called me at midnight. She couldn’t get through to any family members and I was the only co-worker whose number she’d programmed into her phone.

This series of events left me with several questions and concerns that are too wordy to express here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had lunch with Candice today. She goes back to OK early tomorrow morning taking the adorable Jace with her. I’ll miss her. I really enjoyed having her back in town. I’m worried about her because she has some big decisions to make – none of which are easy – and she has several areas of life to figure out.

The other night I had expressed a concern I have about some of her habits. Today she told me that she had avoided it twice since then, her family vouched. That meant a lot. (The following won’t mean anything to most) It means a lot to know that after all we’ve been through and how guilty and horrible she made me feel the other night during out talk, she still respects and trusts me enough to take my concern and opinions to heart.

I have been the best friend I can to her over the years. I’m sorry if my definition of ‘best’ differs from hers, but I can’t change that. I hope eventually she can come to terms with that. In the mean time, I’ll continue to be there when she and/or Jace need me.

My boss finally got my intern approved. Yes, the one he promised back in October. He showed me the approved papers and gave the okay to start interviewing. Yay! I can’t tell you how much easier my life will be at work with someone to do all of the stupid crap that piles up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My boss came into my office (okay it’s a cube, but cut me some slack) which a grin on his face. Turns out he dog pissed in his laptop case and all his important papers and company laptop are soaked in the sweet smelling dampness.

This made me laugh, hard (I squeaked!). To make him feel better I recanted C’s unfortunate experience this weekend. He spent a couple of hours washing his car, making it shine. Then, I got home from work and we went to the park to read. When we got done reading and went to leave we discovered that he had parked under the perfect nesting tree. His car was covered in bird dookie! On the way to home I counted over 100 spots of dookie on his windshield alone.

As I recounted this to my boss I laughed harder. I couldn’t stop squeaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C is in Seattle this week. His last day in hell is Thursday (yay!). So he wanted to get in one last trip home before then. He’s also getting advice from his Dad on the do’s and don’t’s of airline interviews.

He left early Monday and I already miss him. Him leaving is going to be a huge adjustment. I’m so excited for him though. I can’t wait for this limbo to end!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s pretty much my day so far…lots of random thoughts and events rolled into one long post.
