May 29, 2003 Disease from the keyboard Sigh. Another bored and lonely entry. So bored and lonely, in fact, that after hanging up from a 45 minute conversation with Calvin, I sent out a plea to my Notify List for someone to IM me. And then, glee of glees! EMT Nessa, who I haven't heard from in forever, IM'ed me! And then, Shelley! Who's still alive!!! Ah, the power of the internet. And we wonder why people expect instant gratification all the time. U2 is playing (and they still haven't found what they're looking for, by the way. In like, over a decade.), there's a very blustery dust storm going on, and Marie just called (she's out with her mom) to say she's going to be late. I'm eating crackers and spreadable cheese, and I just rescued a fleck of cheese from between the keys and *ate* it. I'm going to get a dust-borne disease, for sure. And I just fetched a flashlight from the pantry, just in case (because of the storm, not the cheese). I got back from a happy hour for a co-worker, a bit over an hour ago. Another one fleeing the giant sucking sound that is AcronymCo. And no offers coming my way. Yet, I wonder if I would accept if I should actually *be* headhunted. It's very easy to be complacent and comfortable with a reliable - yet unsatisfying - paycheck. I'm sorry to see him go - he was a former manager and a good friend. Lunches just won't be the same - he was one of the gang I hang with two or three days a week. The remaining lunchtime friends are all girls - we'll have to begin recruiting for replacements! I really have nothing at all to say. I'm just bored and lonely. I may go watch "Star Trek: Nemeses", which I rented yesterday. Or I could just polish off this buzz (started at Redfish with the "Hurricanes" I consumed) and finish the bottle of wine sitting in the fridge. I don't deal well with loneliness, it seems. I used to, when I was single. Not anymore, I've lost the knack. And I don't really want to get it back. I tried to take a picture of me, Oz, and Gypsy, using my webcam. It didn't really work out. What a totally useless entry. My apologies to those of you who came here to be entertained.
