I am indeed curious, now, how Jack is dressed today.
Like, I feel it, then I think, why might that be happening, and then I try to chill. It works ... some of the time.
I have taken to heart a meditation technique I learned somewhere along the line of saying to myself "Thinking" or "these are just thoughts in your head" when my brain starts to spin out. Sometimes it helps. It's at least something to do, which I think helps in and of itself.
Oh, god, yeah, I didn't mind working retail for the work, but it left me with no social energy for people I liked and wanted to see and that was very hard. Working in an office is not quite as intensely people, but still can be draining by the end of the week.
I didn't realize until a few years ago (and it's so much worse now working this job) that I am one of those introverts who loves people in measured doses, and then needs lots of quiet recharging time. I come home and don't turn on the TV or music, even.
I'm going to be one of those old people on the porch, shaking her cane, I know it.

One of Tim's brothers is visiting Jack tonight. I should text and ask what Jack's wearing.

Oh. This has been me lately but I couldn't figure out why. Just too much people, maybe.
Be careful with how you word that, Tep.

I have become one of these people, and it weirds me out. Was I just tricking myself into believing I was an extrovert? Am I an extrovert who needs a lot of quiet time?
We are sitting next to the world's most annoying couple. I will elaborate more when I'm home with a keyboard, but it beats Jesse's racist story.
I still think I am an extrovert, but each day I become far more particular about the people I will socialize with. It would be a lot easier if people would wear hats that marked them as bat shit crazy, or loves animals and books, or quilting fan. I did meet with one of my practice managers and he had a you know what kind of red cap behind his desk. Kept right on the business only topics with that one.
Okay, so these people were already super-irritating because I was in a bad mood, and they were loud and constant talkers. Until the man began reading the names of the Thai dishes loudly and wrongly. Either he had no idea how to pronounce them, or he was exaggerating for effect.
Then, the waitress came to take their order. It was the same waitress we had, and she had a very heavy Japanese accent. The man said something along the lines of, "We want Reee Keee Raaaa." The waitress looked puzzled, and the guy repeated it, even louder. She still had no idea what he wanted.
Ha ha! He was saying made-up words! They wanted salmon teriyaki!
I could tell he was bullshitting her because I'm pretty familiar with Thai food, and also because his lady companion was swatting at him and playfully saying "Stop! *giggle* Stop!"
The part that I will eventually find funny is when the woman was recounting the plot of Little Miss Sunshine, and the guy asked if the kid won the pageant, and the woman said, "No! Because she was *mouths word* fat." Accompanied by a little glance over at me.
Like, lady, so many things wrong with that. It's not a dirty word. I can still hear you because you're sitting right next to me. And the bit where you looked at me did not help your attempt at subtlety.
Everything & everyone is aggravating & I just do not have anything to spare. And now I have to call more roofers and contractors and I'm getting even madder at this quote because I specifically asked for creative solutions and they went with full redo because it is easier for them & more expensive. Lost me.
