I'm waiting for Til' Tuesday

[dotinthesky]

I was expecting the coffee to pick me up, throw me around, and land me on the middle of a fast sentence full of meaning and innuendo. But it hasn't. And it hasn't unlodged whatever remarkable thought was supposed to appear when the caffeine took aim at my brain.

I sent off my resignation letter, just to be official. I have a lot to thank my boss, mostly for him being a decent human being and not trying to screw me out of my money like the last one. My boss is a Libra, like myself. It's terribly immodest of me to say this, but us Librans rock and rule this world. We are caring, sensitive, nice people. Ok, so we are a bit flakey and we succumb too easily to glamorous people. But that's not really negative when all is measured and counted.

Eventhough my boss is Jewish, he sent me a Christmas card saying he was very sorry to see me go ("very" underlined). I wrote him an email back wishing him a happy Hanukkah and saying that nobody was going to get a Christmas card from me (unless it's ugly and annoying) because I don't follow that tradition. This sparked a reply from him with words in Yiddish! So I had to reply explaining I was a castaway Catholic (in the process of rethinking my position - that visit to Rome in May promises a few encounters with J.Paul) but at least I knew now how to say Happy New Year in Yiddish. His reply? blah blah blah... can't be bothered going on. Basically, it's weird my boss and I having these little weird email exchanges that are full of innuendo (there, I succeeded!) but offer no real insight into anything.

Ok, I'm officially bored and ready to go home. Kevin's sister arrived from Poland last night and will be staying with us for two weeks.

Somebody entertain me.

Internet coming, internet coming! but then there's news that will nearly negate that, I'll post now.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

hope it's good news.

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

oh wow! you finally quit! wow...

well, good for you. do you know where you'll be going? hope you have fun with the sister. You're going to Rome? cool, I've never been. It seems so interesting. I'm trying to begin planning for a trip to Argentina in the Fall. I'll just have to save for the airfare as my friend lives in mar del plata and I'll be staying with her. she's already told me not to worry about lodging or food when I get there. I've known her from online for seven years and I've wanted to visit for EVER. I'll have to do it on a break between semesters and I'll have to save up sick days and holidays and vacation days, etc. I have to go home in the Spring so we'll see how this goes.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I've never been to Argentina but I hear it's a lovely country. And if you go in the Fall, it will be Spring there - nicely warm and much fun.

The trip to Rome is not definite... it's an idea that a LJ friend suggested and I'm going along with... but it all depends on how much money I have when I come back from Brasil (i'm going in February for a month and a half)

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

yeah, I understand the money thing. I'm excited about maybe going, I didn't think about it being Spring there. yay! she goes to the beach a lot.

Rome would be great, you have to see if you can do it. My friend loved it when he visited. take a gondola ride for me. *grin*

oh! we have dial-up right now, hopefully we'll have DSL by tonight if she sets it up, I just need to retrieve the info so she can plug it into the puter.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

have fun with your DSL! *wishes had the same*

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

can you get it there or just not enough money? it's really cheap here, something like $30/mo. split between two people it's not worth it to have dial-up, y'know? just found out we have to wait until Dec. 24th after 6 pm before we'll have DSL. grr...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

expensive here!!! plus, we are moving apartments at the end of January... perhaps we'll get it in our new apartment.

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

ah. well, that's a good reason to wait. it used to be rather expensive here, too, but in the last few years the price has gone down drastically.

argh! I want to buy the A&E version of Pride & Prejudice, but I just discovered there's a box set of a million romantic stories and I haven't seen any except that one. Now I have to put them in my netflix queue and then wait for them to show up before I decide whether or not to buy it. It is rather expensive. meh...*shrug*...

I'm just blathering.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

what do you think youll get for Christmas?

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

*blush* already knew...I opened all my presents by the 19th. But I did get to open my stocking today and I got more kitchen stuff, candy and the Burt's Bees chapstick stuff that I like. yay! What'd you get?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

*slaps divanrouge's wrist*

bad girl!

I'll post what I got for Christmas.

;o)

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

I'll look back for it later. we lost our dial tone for a few days. hopefully Tuesday we'll have DSL and I'll be able to catch up with LJ.

yeah, I know, but I couldn't wait!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

hehe, thanks babe.

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

you're welcome :)

ubbaken introduced me to that website.. have you checked out his journal yet? He's the one you saw in the pics i posted from the summer (from the barbecue and the picnic) and you thought he was really hot.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

i did say hello to him once but I don't think he replied.

:o/

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

gasp! silly boy...

I apologize on his behalf =).

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

that's ok! I think he thought: "uh hu! another gay boy who wants to be my friend."

;)

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

didja tell him i sent you?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

yes... but i think I said something like: "oh I studied in Concordia... and you are so hot can I see naked pics?"

something like that.

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

lol!! you're kidding me...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I don't remember! i think i was naughty.

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

:). silly boy.

did you friend him?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

no....

should I?

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

it's up to you... he doesn't post all that much anyway. He used to, but his dial-up connection is slow or something so he doesn't post as much as he used to.

[roguejournal.livejournal.com]

so good to know that everything is working out for you...aw...it makes me so happy to know your boss was not an ass!!
:)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

he's the best boss i've ever had. He sent me an email at the end of the day saying that he will write me a good reference if I ever need one.

;o)

[roguejournal.livejournal.com]

i want your boss!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Love these lines.
Caffeine is what keeps me going, more momentum than a wake-up.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

thank you... i think the caffeine was beginning to take action when I wrote that.

;o)
