Day 2 of the silent treatment from LB. I think that’s just really petty, especially considering not only is she supposed to be godly, but she’s also like 20+ years older than I am. This is stuff you do and experience in middle school and high school, not way out of college and into your working career. Or I guess it is. I seem to definitely have a way of turning people off of me, that’s for sure. But I mean, she’s going out of her way to talk to everyone *except* me, even to the point of walking her fat ass around my desk to the other side to have “private” conversations with M… who she hardly ever talks to normally because they always fight!! It boggles my mind, really.
Oh another note, I have two oranges sitting at my desk. I must eat my fruit today, especially considering I slacked yesterday. NEED FRUIT!!! I’m going to die of scurvy or something…
Ahem. Ok… no scurvy deaths as of yet. I’m just sitting back, all content, hanging out with my tea, Earl Grey, hot, listening to the people of my office talking about some conference room set up. I’m *so* glad I don’t have to deal with the conference rooms for the most part. Only when M’s not there, or when I’m trying to help her out, and then it’s different because it’s voluntary.
Some dumbass drove a very tall vehicle with a backhoe attached under a very low bridge this morning. Sooo…. My way to work is rather messed up. When we drove in this morning, the road was covered in concrete chunks. At least we weren’t right behind him, so nothing fell on us. The bridge, and the road both ways is closed right now though, so I’m wondering how long that’ll be a problem. I hope not long, that’s the quickest way to work.
I really like M, we discuss race things, and it’s actually quite interesting. She listens, and tells me things or reasons for things, so then I have a better understanding of why things are like they are. There is a lot I don’t know or don’t know why it happens, so when she’s talking to me about it, then I understand. It’s kind of neat, being able to just ask things, or talk about things… and yes, I’m being vague, but when it comes to things of this nature, sometimes vague is best for me.
Hm… I went from feeling pretty chipper and awake to slowing down some. I’m starting to feel kind of sleepy, a little drowsy. It’s not like I’m really bored or anything, just… drowsy. I think I’ll blame today’s drowsiness on the weather, seeing as it’s all dark and drizzly and grody outside. Yes, I think weather is an excellent excuse. :-D
I’ve been thinking a lot about my trip to California. I’m really really looking forward to seeing my family. It kills me though, that my nana and my aunt aren’t speaking still. They’re old, they need to make up, but they don’t seem to realize it. Basically, my aunt’s chosen this one time of them having a petty argument to blow up and make a big deal out of everything. It’s divided the family, and that’s a shame. There’s a few people who stay in the middle, like me and my dad, but for the most part, her kids don’t talk to my granparents, although my nana’s kids talk to them. The grandkids are split, I talk to both, but my cousin doesn’t talk to the other side anymore. Maybe me and my dad arriving in town for the first time in about 2 years will help them to put things aside. I doubt it, but I’d like to think positive.
Ok… off to be… useful, maybe?
