Back from Lunch

How lame is this! It's only been 2 hours and I'm already hooked. Well, just like most small things in my life, this will probably be a passing phase.

Here I am, ignoring my work again. I like to let it pile up and then attack it with a vengeance finishing it quickly and leaving me with a sense of relief. Kind of like when you're on a long road trip and won't be stopping for a bathroom break in a while, but you have to go REALLY bad, and eventually, when you do stop to let it all out, it's a much bigger payoff than if you had gone to the bathroom right away. I guess (and I honestly don't know from experience) that may be a somewhat similar experience for drug addicts. I dunno...

Speaking of bathroom breaks, I'll be right back...

...OK, I'm back. Why is it that I have such a hard time doing a #2 (I'm talkin' excrement of the human feces variety) while other guys are in the same bathroom. I have no problem with urinating next to another guy, but it's so difficult to take a cr*p when there's someone one stall over. It's quiet and awkward and the last thing I want to hear is another man's splash-back. It even gets to the point where I sit there until he has finished and left before I do my business.

ANYWAY, earlier I had mentioned that I was being "laid off" from my job at the end of next month. Let me elaborate a little. The fact is, I used to be a student assistant in this same office for four years up until I graduated last year (June), and they liked me so much, they agreed to hire me on another year until I go off to grad school. Well because of all the hoopla with the California budget, they had to lay-off 63 people with PERMANENT positions. So obviously, they really couldn't afford to keep the extra temporary positions, which is fine, because I was only going to be working for two months after June. So now I get the time off :D, except for my private students and a percussion ensemble I'll be teaching for a couple of weeks.

Looking around this blog thing is pretty cool. Maybe someday I'll learn how to write my own template. It'd be nice to get rid of that ad at the top of the page, but I'd probably have to kick down some moola. Still, it's easy to check out other people with similar interests and location and careers and whatever. So after another long post, I bid you farewell.
