The Imperviously Elusive Office Post
Up til now I’ve tried to avoid making any sort of posts from work for a handful of different reasons, none of which I will go into now. If you really want to hear my lame excuses, come and find me. I have decided to break my celibacy of silence from work today for reasons I will go into. Firstly, I’m stuck between waiting for people to return my phone calls and holding meetings, so I have time to spare. Secondly, it’s been awhile since my last post and while some people are slacking on providing updates for me (*cough*RobBecRach*cough*), others are starting to get anxious (*cough*Stacy*cough*). Lastly, I don’t want to deal with the headache of using dial-up at home when my internet connection works fast here.
So what is there to post about that my compatriots haven’t already covered in their “up-to-date” weblogs? Life is spent nowadays one evening of movie/game/lounging at a time. There are big plans in the works for other activities, but those seem to be the most frequent. I’ve also been playing golf more recently with 3 games played last week. I had a terrific shot in a game versus Patrick where I was trying to punch the ball under some trees that were in front of me. Unfortunately, my aim was off and I hit a line drive shot into a tree. It ricocheted off to another tree, which knocked it up through some branches and finally threw the ball out back at me. The ball rolled back and stopped right at the same spot I had just hit it from. I just turned to Patrick and we both burst out laughing.
School starts soon for people and I think it’s going to be very weird to not go back to school. As long as it’s hot outside I can live in the delusion that it’s still summer and that this is just another summer job. Once autumn starts to roll around, I’ll probably wake-up to the fact that I’m staying and who knows what will happen next. I guess I’m already adapting to my homecoming for the fall. I dreamed the other night I was starting school again at my high school after graduating from college, so it seems that my subconscious has already accepted the fact that I’m sticking around (although it could be related to the copious amounts of “Freaks and Geeks” I’ve been watching).
But it will suck with some friends and family starting up school soon: being scattered throughout the country, waking up early, long days in classrooms, homework. In a way, I can sympathize some with them; although all I can say is that, yah, early mornings suck, but it feels good to be getting paid for it.
Ok, now that I’ve sufficiently wasted a fair amount of work time, I should be getting back to what their paying me to do: being reliable.
