My time away from the office was less than 12 hours from last night 'til this morning. I also busted my ass to get here on time for a town hall meeting. I still don't think meetings should happen before 10 am. Afternoon meetings shouldn't start 'til after 2 pm but not go later than 4 pm.
I stayed 'til 9:45 last night...that's more than 12 hours in the office. No wonder I'm so sore and stiff. Post PMS, I tend to feel really awake. So after I got home, I tidied a bit, finished off some laundry, and ate a little. It was too late to call Tara though :? I did watch the finale of Beauty and the Geek :D And Big Brother 6 starts tonight!! I'll have to watch the premier tomorrow night. My favourite Big Brother housemate was Curtis from Season 1. I think the moment where he and the other 2 finalists trashed the house and made up that goofy song and dance to the Sony Wega will be etched in my mind for quite some time.
Anyway...my dad also called and left me a message. He informed me, "I don't need the computer you bought me. I bought my own." :roll: My first thought was "gee, thanks. I specifically told you I bought one for you." And I had specifically told him that he'd have to wait a bit. Then my second thought was "great...now what am I going to do with this frickin' spare machine?"
I'll give it to my mom. When I told her I bought my dad a computer, she was all like, "what? Why did you get him one and not me?" Having separated parents is annoying because I can't treat the two of them as one unit. After I moved, I had to give each parent a set of spare keys in case there was an emergency. Oh no -- I couldn't give just one parent a set. I had to give both. And the locks got changed or removed to my building, so that was dumb. And then I have to make twice as much time for them collectively. Do I feel bad saying that? Yeah. But I barely have time for myself these days.
I have 3 computers sitting around. One is currently in use. The second one has problem booting up. I was just going to remove one or two of the hard drives to put in my current machine. I had had all sorts of plans for it...use it as a server...turn it into a linux box...but who knows. The third one will go to my mom when she moves next year.
I chatted briefly with the C Man last night. He was asking me what was going on with the J Man. He told me he was going to ask me if I was seeing someone when he saw me last. He said he felt like our connection wasn't there. I managed to not directly answer his question, but he was still like "that just makes me want you more! HAHHAAHA"
I didn't realise he wanted me to begin with :? :lol: He was one of those guys I tried to change for when we dated. Of course I got resentful and then lost interest. What I liked about him was that he could take charge of a situation and he did all those stereotypical gentlemanly things. I liked that he always walked to my door or car. However, I didn't like the pressure he put on me to be domesticated and that he wasn't always the most open-minded. I think he's matured somewhat over the last 2 years, which is good.
Anyway, back to work...I'm losing steam here [not blog here but work here]. And I'm really glad that I don't have my PDP meeting with my boss today.
