Hi. Ugh–it’s 0430 here. I spent yesterday attempting to get #1 son his driver’s license, which we couldn’t do after we sat there for 40 minutes because the BTW place never submitted his name to the state, verifying he had completed the course.
:mad: That emoticon does not fully express my grrr at this. They’re “looking into it”, but I got no return phone call to tell me either way yesterday (hell, I had to call twice just to get that). I’m about to call the BBB etc. Now the only day he can go is next Tuesday–IF they get this sorted out. :mad:
And the rest of the day I spent high o Flexeril for my trick neck/left shoulder. Dunno how I triggered this old injury, but it’s down to a dull roar at this point. I can’t fully turn to the left and it feels like something is out of alignment. Nice.
Didn’t read page 3, sorry.
Crazily trying to get some last-minute work done here, so I’m afraid I only skimmed…
Did notice **Haze **is (almost…) back to her old (well, actually, not so old) self Methinks that by the time I return there shall be more lurid tales of your escapades…?
You know we’re looking forward to it…
Dunno if I’ll get another post in, so see y’all August 13 if I don’t!
One of my coworkers is leaving today for Cuba, I’m eeeenvious and it isn’t even because of a particularly burning desire to go to Cuba, I just have a terrible case of the donjuanas.
Last night was a bit weird. I normally would have taken a cab home, but I was a bit too drunk to feel okay about it (taxi kidnappings/robberies are not uncommon crimes here) so I took up Co-worker’s offer to crash at his place. He has a big bed (and no sofa), so we were able to both sleep in it without being crowded at all. I guess the weird part for me is that I’ve never been able to sleep next to a guy so neutrally before. There was absolutely no tension whatsoever, even when we bumped against each other under the blanket. I felt like I was sleeping next to my mom.
Not sure if he felt the same way. I will say this - if he wanted to do me, he showed remarkable restraint last night. :dubious:
I think there was a sort of tension between us before, but oddly after last night I don’t think it’s there anymore. I wasn’t remotely tempted to do anything anyway, but last night did remind me of how much I like being in the same bed with another person. This has nothing to do with sex. I just like the close presence of another human being. (On a related note, Scottish Darling and I would often be on the department lounge sofa with her head in my lap, which probably did nothing to discourage the rumors of our lesbian tendencies. )
I’m up. I’ve watered plants even though it looks like it might consider raining today. It looked that way yesterday and didn’t, so I have no reason to trust it today. Harumphhhhh.
Sounds like completely no fun, rigs. Hope the driver’s license stuff works out quickly.
I’m going into work early because I need to get one thing done before my two morning meetings. After my meetings…I get to come home!!! Yay!!! It’ll almost be like a vacation! (Although I still have to go in tomorrow.) My life is almost sad, isn’t it?
Well, I’d invite you to join me if it weren’t for a few, er… minor complications (and one very much of-age one… :eek: )
I think you’ll find out soon enough whether Cute Coworker now assumes he’s been relegated to the “Friend Zone” or not… I’m kind of guessing “no, he didn’t want to take advantage of you drunk and he’s biding his time,” but time will tell…
**Rigs **-- I hate it when bureaucracies don’t even try to pretend they’re competent :mad:. Hope you can get things to work out, there.
Off to 14-hour day. I’m going to fix my schedule in the fall so that I don’t have to do these anymore. Assuming certain departments get off of their asses and ensure that I’ll be here in the fall.
New Roommate is now moved in. I shall christen her Toy Roommate because she works at a toy store and has several action figures. She brought her puppy Stormydog, who is an Outside Dog. Zeldadog doesn’t know what to do with him. She’s finally been out-hypered.
Morning. Last night was better. Not a lot, but better. I feel like I can move today. Hugs to everyone who needs them.
I’m going to Costcovia today- anyone need anything?
I is tired, and my stomach seems to be angry with the amount of Greek food I consumed (which, actually, wasn’t all that much). It was nice to catch up with friends though… I feel like I’ve been living under a rock for the last few months, what with work consuming my entire life for the first half of this year.
Now if only my married friends would quit trying to convince me that I need to get married too, it would be awesome. :rolleyes: I happen to LIKE living in sin, dammit!
Methinks that by the time I return there shall be more lurid tales of your escapades…?
Once a year is usually all I get anyway.
