I'm unhappy that these once-weekly updates are becoming habit but it's not like I'm sitting around on my bony ass with all the time in the world to update like I was last semester. The last ten days consisted of my running around panicking about something or other. Luckily most of that's over now and not even worth the effort needed to iterate it.
Charlie came to visit last weekend, though, and we had a great time. Or rather, I had a great time. I imagine he must have been bored as hell, because despite all my best efforts to keep cool I still spent most of the weekend freaking out over my Geology midterm on Monday and the municipal hearing for my ticket (which sucked). Charlie got a pretty crappy deal from the whole thing and that upsets me more than anything else-- I don't like being a bad host and sucking a guest into that kind of silliness. Regardless, once Charlie got home he said he wanted some time to himself because we want different things from each other, so we parted on good terms and now we aren't going to talk for a while. This has been hard, because I'm assuming he will inevitably see how much happier he is without my bothering him daily about idiotic things, as I am wont to do with friends.
Two of the other supervisors at work are looking for other jobs and the other two are graduating, so by the end of this semester I'll change from being the newest to the senior supervisor. I don't give a shit one way or the other, but getting a raise out of it would be nice, and being able to help pick everyone's replacements will have its advantages too.
Matt and I had a great weekend together even though I had to work yesterday afternoon and will be working tonight, despite it being the Super Bowl. Even if we don't do anything or get much done when we're together, it always feels good. We also rescued a tattered brown leather reclining chair covered in duct tape from out by the dumpsters and installed it in my living room. I think it adds character and Roommate's thoughts will not be sought.
In a shocking turn of events, I need to go study before work. |
