Apathy… that describes my general emotion today…
Fortunately, the UK is off today due to Easter, so its fairly quiet in the office.
I have not updated in quite some time – and I have not finished the Israel trip either – if it stays this quiet, I will try and nock that out today.
Working backwads…
Lets see, whats been going on… Yesterday was a lazy and lonely day – would have liked to have seen someone rather then sit at home alone (Dug was out), but it was Easter so I knew most people were with their family. I did go out for a bit to run some errands and wander some stores just for entertainment, but 99% of everything was closed.
Staurday night was another potluck – this one at & house. That is an awesome group of people and I am glad Declan & Idonea introduced me to them.
I did realize that I am not quite as ok with Eric’s just wanting to be friends as I thought – it was hard at points, especially when he fell asleep in Red’s arms – I know there is nothing there, but I still felt some level of disapointment and jealousy. Its just something I am going to have to work through.
Friday night I had dinner with & Chow & Nate. I really need to hang out with them more. They are really good people. And as Chow’s peer, I definately need to be tuned to his life – and Bryn’s.
I dont know how people takle on long distance peerage relationships – thats not a criticism, its more an observation based upon my relationship with Nia. I dont think it would have worked half as well if we had not been with each other so often.
Its something I need to work out with Bryn & Chow – i.e. a night – which will be hard as they are morning people and I am a night person. Not to mention that my week nights are pretty full already:
- Monday – K’berg meeting
- Tuesday – open
- Wednesday – Nia
- Thursday – Hebrew at the Jewish Federation
I know Tuesday, Chow likes to make fighter practice at Buckston. That takes us to the weekend. And those are never easy to plan anything static.
Something’s gotta give.
The last few weeks at work have been very frustrating – something that took five days to issolate and generate a technical fix for is now in its 9th week of being dealt with due to politics. Aaaarrrrgggghhh!
Also, I am a weird position – our test environment went down and I have been asked by my director to provide daily status reports to our team. Well, the work involves multiple groups – eahc with its own PM and/or responsible person. So, I am now in the position of following up with each of them and relaying communications.
Other then that, not much is going on. As noted above, I now go over the the Jewish Federation on Thursday nights for a somehwta informal conversational Hebrew class. Its fun but my brain is not used to being in the role of a student.
Its also frustrating as I do not have a good ear for languages. It makes me jealous of my father – he can be in a country a week and can start holding conversations in the native language. My gandfather spoke seven languages fluently. Yet, I did not inherit that ability. Ah, genetics.
I am thinking back over the last few weeks, and my life must be pretty boring. 
There is nothing really exciting to write about.
On the other hand, I have stopped listening to the news on my ride in – all it does is get my blood pressure surging. I guess its better for my health to be one of the uninformed leming-like masses then to ruin my health over things I cannot control.
Ah, life…
