I spoke to Eric last night and smoothed things over. I had thoughts to share but decided it was in the best interest of all those involved to simply agree to disagree and not push the issue further. He said it would be water under the bridge but I cant help but feel that it wont be. Things have changed between us and while Im big enough to let things go, I dont know if letting things go is always the best idea. If the situation was different, we probably wouldnt be friends anymore but I dont know how this will change things anyway. I cant help but feel that weve taken a step back in the process of getting closer and that this will all eventually end with us no longer friends. Such are the choices we make, I suppose.
Marie and I had a nice dinner with Joy, Julie and Julies boyfriend Cyrus. We had been trying to plan a get together for a few weeks but just couldnt get our schedules to mesh. Last night, the stars were aligned.
Im getting more and less frustrated with the work situation at the same time. I have a great relationship with my boss and most everyone else in the department, but the fact that upper management seems to not only desire living their lives with their heads firmly implanted in their asses, but that they get rewarded for it boggles the mind. I dont think Im in a unique situation with bad leadership, but I thought that things were pretty well run until I talked to various co-workers who have been here longer than I have. Classifieds, here I come.
Tonight Brian, Marie, myself and Shreya will hopefully be getting together, probably just sit and shoot the shit, which is a-okay with me. Im guessing well hear from Shreya by dinnertime to see if our plans will work out. If they dont, maybe well just have Brian over. Ah, who knows?
Marie will be gone most of Saturday with some baby-sitter training, so Im planning on working on my video project, updating the website and looking for a new job, most likely. Also, Ill probably give the apartment a good cleaning and go through some stuff to give to the Salvation Army. Despite not having all of the clothes I want, Ive got too many clothes right now.
Random thoughts of the afternoon
Im fighting the urge to buy a bunch of new CDs and dont think Im going to win. Its just that Exclusive Company is *so* close to the library, I might not be able to help myself. Naughty, I know.
The asshole that bid on my eBay auction and now is nowhere to be found must be destroyed. I want my $20.50, pal.
I usually sort things out while shredding documents in the mailroom. Something so calming about the whole process that puts me at ease.
Some co-workers of mine got into a car accident (more of a fender bender) during lunch. No one was hurt, but the drivers car got pretty beat up. I wonder if, since these are the co-workers I usually eat lunch with and they never invite me, God is watching my back.
