xoderWork.
Not uneventful. I hate it when this shit happens.
Some kid was crawling around outside, trying to get something, and he tripped this old guy. The old guy broke his nose and started bleeding all over the place. Luckily, I wasn't down guard, so I only got to stay at the pool and miss the carnage.
There were many breaches of protocol, like no one called "emergency" over the radio (my job), and we had only one guard at the pool (me).
So, thanks to that, and the fact that the parochial schools are out for the summer. Tuesday (or at least this Tuesday) has become a working day for me. 10-6.
So, after all that, I came home, to a message from Mark stating that if I wanted my DVD's back, I'd have to go see him. So, I went and saw him (I loaned him the Trigun box set) at Barnes and Noble (in Downtown Bklyn, our usual spot in the SF&F racks). We sat, talked about books for awhile, helped out a fantasy reader to pick some fantasy books (okay, Mark helped him, I'm not much of a fantasy buff, SF's more my taste, but you all knew that).
Then we started walking back, talking about story ideas and such.
And we kept talking when we got to his building, under the awning. Just about stuff. Geeks we are and such. Then it started raining, so I went up to his place to pick up a plastic bag for the DVDs, then we went back downstairs, still talking. Damn, that boy can talk.
That was my day. Oh, and I think a few of my knuckles have gotten around to not liking me.
Oh, and there's a certain person who usually reads this who I haven't seen on AIM lately, where are you, dearie ;-)?

everywhere but in front of my computer.
Date: 2002-06-19 04:02 pm (UTC)I decided that I want to stop the internet addiction that I developed last week. I was sucked into hours of internet time by old User Friendly cartoons that I don't have the time to read durring the school year. The only time I'm bored is when I'm in front of my computer. Other than that, I have lotsa stuff that I want to do.
I also discovered Monday that there is something missing in my life that's keeping me from being as happy as I should be. I think it has something to do w/ creativity and imaginatiion, but I'm not sure exactly what it would be. So, I'm trying to figure out the other things in life. Also, as I said before the end of school, I need a break from people. That is not done if I am only physically alone, but connected to many others by a few dozen feet of cat5 and a speedy connection. Sorts of defeats the purpose of being alone, eh?
I've also had a slight battle w/ alergies, lotsa pollen in the air. Gives me headaches and sinus pressure, but it hasn't gotten bad enough for me to take any meds for it.
Yup. That's where I've been. I may be on sometime this week, or you may not see me until next week. ta-ta
