It was fun but we got home about 2 AM.
The going away party for a friend, Mike, I have since lost touch with. I had only known him about 6 months before he moved. Sweet guy - I wish we were still in touch. He had recently left his wife and come out. It was wild to see gay life through his eyes - how exciting everything was.
He moved ot FLorida to be with a guy he met on line. It didn't seem like a good move (or a good relationship), but that's not my call. Mike traded pursuing the things he wanted to do and his dreams for a relationship. Something he said he had done in marrying his wife and regretted. I'm not judging, I've sacrificed some dreams or the energy I could put toward pursuing them for stability/security. I'm just remembering where he was in his life when I knew him.
I wonder how he is. I hope he's healthy and happy.

Work Sucks, Yeah Yeah
Apr. 29th, 2004 12:08 pmI'm not a big drinker, but next Friday I intend to get really knockered. I'm spending all of next week, except Friday, in Austin for meetings. We're changing our direction, approach and methodology completely. I'm all for change, but I don't think this is the right choice or that it was made for the right reasons. I may change my mind, but it'll take some convincing. Work is full of drama, so I'm already over it before I've even gotten on the plane.
I arrive in NJ again Thursday evening, then have my PrCalc final on Friday afternoon. After my final, I'm going to drive myself home and start drinking. Of course, I say that now, but I'll probably just want to go out to eat and get a big dessert. Then sleep.
We'll see.
I feel really stressed out with the trip, work drama and my final all coming to a head next week. It's only temporary, but this moment isn't a good one as I'm in it.
This is one of those days where waiting for the layoff package is much elss appealing than jumping ship for something else closer to home. This commute sucks - two hours of my day is spent in traffic. I feel like the rest of my life has suffered as a result of all that time being spent on the road. I read less, spend less time in the studio and my house is a disaster.
The trouble is I have no idea what I would do for work. I mean, what would I do besides web stuff? I don't even care really...lol
OK, time to work. Besides, Perkhead just called to plan our trip to the spa tomorrow.
Things I Am Grateful For
Having Enough
Knowing I can leave this job when I choose to - once I know where I am going to
Mr Bear's support and encouragement
The fabulous weather today
Diet Coke with Lemon (OK, I like Lemon Pledge)
My Friends
Things I Want Today
A massage (Tomorrow, baby!)
A new job

Apr. 29th, 2004 02:45 pmJust let me get through this week. Please.
We'rte busy at work (which is nice) but the people are being FUCKING IDIOTS. I was going to take tomorrow off to try and make up for the class, review session and tutoring time I will miss before the final due to work travel. Now, it doesn't look like I be able to because NO ONE IS DOING THEIR FUCKING JOBS.

Apr. 29th, 2004 03:20 pmI know it's evil, but you have to love when people (here, an entire freaking wing of the company) get their comeuppance.
These folks have been piggy backing on the consumer side for YEARS by using policies they write and processes they develop. Now, all that is going away. Oh, Karma is a bitch...
I really hate it here. I know, it's pretty much anywhere I work, but the politics and bitchiness is just too much some times.
