i started work yesterday. it's weird. never had a job before, and now all of a sudden i have an everyday/all day one, and i feel like all my time is being forcibly taken from me. and that's no good at all. like not being able to hang out w/chels and all. that's really a load of poo.
fyi guys, i need a 2 week notice to miss days or hours or anything, so if you're going to do anything fun, let me know way ahead of time. or just make it on the weekends.
it's not like my job sucks. not at all. it's actually pretty fun. i'm a clerk at my dad's law office downtown. so i get to deliver mail and messages within the firm and run some errands around downtown. and other such exciting activities. the best part is the other people in the clerks office. they're really funny. especially bertha, this adorable short and somewhat round black lady. she's from memphis, so we've kinda got the tennessee connection. even though i'm not from TN. but i've got several friends from Memphis, and at least feel kinda southern after living there for a year. and then there's another fellow who started the same time i did. he's just finished his 2nd year at purdue and is really nice, kinda quiet, and--alright, i admit it--somewhat cute. so he and i wander around together trying to find people's offices and generally decode the inner workings of a law firm. and that's good times. at least as far as wandering goes.
i'm rambling.
tonight i went to the NV orch spring pops concert, which was amazingly good. i was always pretty arrogant about how good we were when i was there, but they sounded supremely excellent. a few tuning issues (in the winds, not the strings, suprisingly) and a really awful percussionist who couldn't follow the beat. but overall, incredible. they sounded like a high school orchestra.
then i got to see zach! we went out for pizza. and gossipped a lot. i love that kid. i kinda regret the fact that we've grown apart though. it's not that we don't like each other anymore or that we don't have fun when we're together. it's just that we have totally separate lives now. we have tons of fun when we do see each other (rarely). it's not the same though. i think it's because when nick and i started dating i felt like i had to distance myself from zach, since we'd always been so close. and flirtatious. and since i knew that we were both attracted to each other. it's weird. i don't know whether he was actually a threat to my relationship with nick. but for some reason i got a little nervous. and then things got weird.
wow, i'm really rambling now.
this is what we call sleep deprivation. mmm...sleep.
