give us a hug At work this week is an odd celebration of sorts. It's the time of year when the company likes to show how much they appreciate us by showering us with food and various prizes all week. I find it to be very odd if not slightly annoying, because the forced goodwill seems to fade quickly the following week, but I keep my mouth shut and smile. Sometimes it is better to just go with the flow. ... Once again Ann is missing from my social radar and I can't decide as to whether or not that is a good thing. Our friendship has taken some odd turns lately and I'm not sure as to what is going to happen next between us. Most of the department feels that her pregnancy is causing odd if not rapid mood swings and this is probably true and I don't mean that in a sexist way either. At first I was trying to gloss over her erratic behavior, but suddenly it is starting to affect me as well. Something that I said last Friday insulted her and I didn't mean for that to happen. I just felt that she over reacted and she came back at me in a mean way. Now that I've read what I just wrote, I can see that it sounds vague, but it would be too hard to explain in greater detail. Basically I think that she gets too involved at work and vents some of her frustration at the wrong people. I know that both of take our jobs seriously, but I tend to distance myself more from it than she does and I don't think that she understands why I do. In fact she might even go so far as to view my attitude as being lazy, but she would be wrong. ... In the world of news, I was happy to hear that Mark David Chapman was denied parole. That moron killed John Lennon some twenty years ago and left us with Paul, not that I dislike Paul, but in some ways Paul needed John. As for Bono of U2 and his latest move within the political arena to end world debt, I don't know what to think just yet. ... In music I've been switching between old James albums and some stuff by Elliot Smith and Elastica.
