another wavering decision Once again Nicole was the highlight of my night at work. I hadn't seen her at all Saturday night Sunday morning, so maybe I was missing her more than I knew. I suspect that she was lying low that night when the crisis that struck her department was happening. Management and her have never gotten along well and changing that relationship when the tension level was higher than normal was probably not something that she wanted to do. Out of sight, out of mind was probably her course of action. Through most of the early morning hours, she had one story after another for me and I loved each and every one of them. In addition to the stories, I also got some new photos of her. ... At the moment I am leaning more toward not going to school this semester than I am in going. Maybe I do need that time away to just enjoy life and not be on the run as much as I have been for the past six months or so. I managed to survive on work alone two years ago, so I should be able to get by without school for one semester. Plus without school I won't have any missed days of class when I go to New Zealand. I have until the end of the week to make my decision. The initial deposit to hold my class has to be in by the thirteenth of this month. ... After being neglected for most of the semester, I've gotten back into the habit of reading The New Yorker. Without planning on it, I threw out issue after issue without having read them besides a movie review or two. That did not make me happy. |
