An update post, of sorts...
I just realized that I haven't posted in here in forever, and perhaps I should. The 4th of July weekend was spent going out of state to meet Boyfriend's parents. Which I was a little nervous about, but I figured they couldn't be that different from him, right? Turns out they aren't, and they seemed to like me just as much as I liked them. Which is

Funny you should mention the boatride on the Mississippi as something that sounds good with friends not co-workers. At work they tried to organize a boat night out on Lake Ontario and the reaction of most people was "sounds good with friends...but why would I want to do that with work people" (and we all get along quite well, but still...it's expensive and, well, I'm not spending that money to hang out with work folks).

The "no hanging out with co-workers" thing is pretty universal, isn't it? The people I work with are perfectly nice human beings, but I just really have nothing in common with them. And when co-workers get together, they usually wind up talking about work. I already spend 40+ hours a week around them, talking about work with them...I don't want to be forced to spend my personal time doing that, too. So I know it'll be frowned upon if I don't attend these leisure activities, but at the same time, I don't want to spend 8 hours of my life sitting there fidgeting because I'm thinking of all the more-useful/more-relaxing things I could be doing with my time.

Hanging out with co-workers always comes back to work. I can only name a few who I could probably have a good non-work conversation with. I mean we have a blast together at work (everyone) but the idea of spending a Friday night talking about work just makes me groan. I participate in few office outings -- enough to still be social with work people, but no more than that. There needs to be a boundary. Work and personal life should still have some sort of separation.

You at least have tickets to Comic-Con, right? Cuz those things are selling out. I've been excitedly dorking out over it today. 2 weeks!!

Once they get that programming schedule out I can obsessively plan and see what the days will be like. You don't happen to have that do you, Ms. Press Pass.....?
Love!

I've been contemplating renting Jericho now that it's cancelled. That may sound odd, but I just don't have time for much TV watching of the weekly scheduled variety where I want to keep up with what's going on, so a raved-about and cancelled show sounds appealing to me.
I'm with you on the modern art. In the Fine Arts Building on campus, many sculptures are used for kicking when people are frustrated, and it's the best use to which they could be put, except for the one that we used as a trash can. ^_^

I hear you about co-workers. I don't get along BADLY with the various people I work with, but they do kind of...grate on me sometimes. Enough that I have zero desire to see most of them on my own time.

That sucks about Moonlight and Jericho, but, didn't the latter get picked up for another season because of how much the fans pushed for more? I mean, maybe the same thing could happen again, at least for Jericho...
In any case, good luck with everything! And I also hope that this down period ends soon for you. The marathon sounds like a good idea, and that reminds me about the numerous shows I need to start up sometime this summer.
