This has been an interesting past couple of days. Rianna’s been out of town, and I haven’t really been sleeping. That’s really got nothing to do with why these days have been interesting, but it does explain that I’m tired right now, and why sleep is on my mind. Being at work I feel it appropriate to mention that one of my bosses had their house catch on fire yesterday. Her daughter, who is about my age tipped the fondue set over, had the oil spill and caught the whole house on fire. Apparently it’s still structurally sound, but you can’t live there any more. I couldn’t even imagine. I live on memory lane. I surround myself with pictures, and have another gig or two of them in digital form. Then there’s my briefcase of documents and my drawer of old letters and cards. It’s just an unreal sort of situation. Or I suppose more surreal than unreal. In other news I’ve been cleaning up my room lately. I feel that a large portion of the mess was Rianna’s, and I did ask her to clean it up, but I suppose it gave me something productive to do. My room looks really nice now. In other news, there’s not much to report, but I am looking forward to my upcoming trip. If I haven’t mentioned this yet I’m leaving in exactly one month from today to travel the world. I start in Thailand, go to a couple of other Asian countries, then Egypt, Greece, Istanbul, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Amsterdam, and France. I need to plan better what I’m going to be doing when I’m gone, but it really should be a lot of fun. I plan on winging most of my trip by just going to the nearest hostel when I get into a town and picking up brochures when I check in to see what a tourist can do. I don’t know what else to say except that I really don’t want to work today. This is not where I went to end up at all. The pay is all right, it’s just not my kind of work. It’s nice though that all of the people here love me. At least they really appreciate how good I am with the computers, and I’ve gotten to put myself on
the company web site. I think that’s pretty cool. Anyway, I should get back to work.
