The annoying thing about a 7AM telecon is that I told myself I could go back to bed after (I don't have anything else going on until afternoon) but now I feel somewhat awake. Also, I was having freakish nightmares about a tornado (!?) and a hellish weird retirement/layoff party thing (I wasn't going, someone else was? And they were leaving me this weird awkward tshirt wiht an individual and yet generic poem on it? And I wanted to stabbinate them?)
And I also feel intensely panicked by long durations of what I call "OPS" which means "other peoples' schedule".
Heh. I just get ANNOYED. And want to herd cats. With a whip.
But then, I LIKE large groups of people. I am very happy to have spent the weekend with huge numbers of people. And when I contemplate explaining to a therapist that "no, really, see, my upcoming weekend plans of "Go dancing Friday night, but go home directly after dancing, be touristy with exboss and her husband in town, go out with friends Saturday night, probably don't see girl I'm seeing because she's moving", that's like, LOW SOCIAL for me!!"....well....
But I mean, small groups are key. Large groups are hard to deal with, just logistics-wise. You can really only talk to a few people at once anyway.
Then again, I HAVE had a friend staying on my couch for the past month. OTOH, I've been out of town on and off for several of those weeks.
The only issue is when I am hanging out with someone who doesn't understand that I need to check the internets and see what is going on there. Because I AM an addict.
t reading all other comments from buffistas.
So, uh, how DID I end up with you introverted people anyway? Huh.

Because we need someone like you to pull us in to conversations. And, we rock.
{{{Sean}}} Just because I know this afternoon will be hard.
Friday morning vote for who is worse - Comcast or Verizon?
Comcast is giving a Wii to new subscribers, which is cooler than Verizon's offer of a TV. But I'm busy hating Cox.
I'm also busy doing nothing, when I have a ton of stuff to do. My boss had me come in to his office (which is in a different building...in fact, in a different city) for a meeting this morning to discuss whether or not I can telecommute. So I left the plumber at home and drove in, thinking I'd go to my office right after.
He's now pushed our meeting back twice, so I've been sitting here for an hour. At this rate I'll have to go home and pay the plumber before going to my office.
And his whole reason for not wanting me to telecommute is that he doesn't like me being away from my office.
Just caught up and now I have to go to the doctor for my diabetes update. (Get the tires kicked, check the fluids, etc)
I should mention that I had my six-months-late yearly review Wednesday.
I got an 8.5% raise.
Retroactive to my hiring date anniversary.
Feb 16.
heh.
Congratulations, Daniel! That's great news.
{{{Sean}}} ~ma for you that you can find a new place soon.
Me? Extrovert. I still hate big crowds (thoguh the F2Fs never bothered me).
Daniel, that's awesome! It's nice to see someone else appreciating your excellence.
Yay Daniel! Very nice.
Sean, I hope your transition both into and then, soon, out of the spare room goes smoothly. You are taking care of YOU and that is not a selfish thing to do. It is key.
Wow, Daniel, that's fantastic!
Raq, they're giving away Wiis? I WANT! But I don't see that promo on their website. Sad now.
Thanks all. Next plane boarding momentarily.
