working life: 2nd rotation

I apologize for my absence, although I'm sure anyone could have predicted it. My diary-writing always has gone in cycles, hasn't it?In the beginning of July I had a week-long trip to Philly, where I was essentially running orientatino for some new people at work. That Saturday I flew back home, w...

So the other day I was bored, so I picked up Chris' old bass guitar and fooled around with it. A few days later I picked it up again when Chris was playing guitar and we started jamming. He was pretty much ecstatic - he loves playing with people, but really hasn't had the opportunity…

Since about 3:30pm today I have been single. I will continue to be single until Chris finishes reading the new Harry Potter book.I really fuckin hate Harry Potter. I really truly hope she kills him off in this one. I hate the 1.5 movies that I saw, and I refuse to read the book. The…

For some reason I thought I had a lot of friends around here. I guess it never occurred to me that after college the amount of people with whom I could hang out at any moment exponentially decreased. And then it happened. Chris told me Drew had an extra (suite) ticket for him to go…

Don't worry, I haven't re-fallen off the face of the OD world. I am still here. Chris has started feeling a lot better lately, so I haven't had as much of a need to reach out to others. (Aww I like him a lot...)Ok, time for a rant!Dear Time Warner Cable,You suck. You suck so…

Edited: I forgot to give this damned thing a title. Since when have I done that? I'm a fucking idiot today.1. I have been a real diary slut/note whore lately. It's embarassing and yet it's true.2. Chris and I are supposed to be leaving for a co-worker's engagement party pretty soon here. He never...

I think I have Social Anxiety Disorder. I've said this before, but this time I really think I do have it. I've been reading a couple articles online, and it makes a lot of sense. They give several examples of the types of social situations that cause anxiety for people with SAD - some are…

Have you ever had the most incredible, most irrational urge to just BUY something? Not because you need to or were planning on it... but just to have something different to do or look at or whatever. If Ninetendo would just have its act together I would own a Wii right now. But they don't…

Today at work I called Drew to confirm dinner tonight. We try to get together once a week (when we can) for dinner and cards as I mentioned a few days ago. Usually we end up going to Drew's apartment, he cooks pasta or burgers and we help out with setting the table and other…

I really need to learn to censor myself. Take, for example, the following conversation with my good friend Adam, who also happens to be a co-worker. Note, the conversation is about the ridiculous quiz I took yesterday:Adam: What's with all the questions about masturbationAdam: jeezeMe: i knowMe: ...
