(no subject)
Hey all, i havent posted in forever. I've been keeping busier and busier every day. Last week was good i s'pose. New project work is rearing its head, but its been a couple weeks since i've billed an hour. And thats never good for the business. Thursday, my boss said "You have to get here on time from here on out", so after my 7 months of coming in late, finnally, i'm actually required to be there at 8am. :) hehehe.. im bad.
My toe is better. and my fingernail has fallen off and is looking better, i think it'll regrow just fine. I'm doing my laundry. The sky is floating. :) *(just thought i'd put an interestingly dumb list of things on my post. So there ya go )*
Friday, i was asked to leave work on time, instead of lingering around to finish work, because my boss had to talk to one of my co-workers "in private", I hope he hasnt been layed off again. I really like working with him. This weekend has been good so far. Valentines day panned out like this:
I had a "friend date" with my bud Rachel at IWU. We said that if we get an actual date that we can cancel. well, she gets a date, and cancels. Then she un-canceled. But in that time, I was talking to a long lost pal that i havent seen in like 3 years, and we thought we should get together. But her mother told her that she had some responsibilites at the house which would keep her there all night. So, i figure she had canceled too. But around 8 she asks "mom" to give her a break, and she did. So me and her go to my coffee shop, drink some coffee, play mancalla, and just plain clowned with eachother. Good times.
While we were there, a guy came in with a solitary rose to give to his woman whom was working there that night until close (which is like 10:30 - 11pm). So people in the coffeeshop all watch as he gives this rose to his woman. and a little bit of a hush came over the crowd. Later, as we were leaving, he had just made it to his car, and i gave him a compliment on his effort. (you know, one of those, "Guy - to - guy" moments of kinship and understanding). Yeah, so anyhow. I thought before i got her home, i'd have to show him up. (well of course...because now HE had done the most romantic thing of the evening). So i take a trip to scott's and tell her, I'll be right back, just need to run an errand. As fast as i could i made my way through scotts and got 2 long stem roses. Brought them back to the car sneakily making it around the back side and knocking on the passenger side window with the flowers.
(it actually had nothing to do with showing up the guy at the coffeeshop. I would've had the roses already, had i known i'd be going on the date. But i wasnt aware that the date was actually on until the last minute.)
So anyhow, we get back to her place. I meet her parents, say "aww" at her 8 newborn puppies, and we talk some more. Then, her stalker shows up at like 11:15. She says to me "great, its _____ he likes me" (shaking her head). That was interesting having him there. He was asking her for a date for saturday, and she's sitting there like "____ this is Brandon . he took me out tonight" I feel bad for the guy, that he had to feel rejected. I tried to make him feel accepted. Ya know. Like not mentioning the date, just shootin the shit with him. He felt really akward.
Then finally when the evening was over, she was trying to get ____ to go to his car so she could say goodbye to me in private, and he didnt get the picture. so she's like. Ok. hug for you, go home now ____. We said our goodbyes then, in private, and i left. I watched her just as i was leavin. and she was bouncing when she walked back inside. I assume she enjoyed the date. once i got home she was online sayin "you home yet?"
haha, then we end up talking to eachother on the phone till 5am.
It was all good fun.
A very suprisingly nice Valentines day.
And thats your news at 8:50. Stay tuned at 11 for more from our field reporters.
