Old Friends

Yesterday was great! I hung out with Darrell for the first time in a year and a half. Other than the ponytail/goatee thing, he hasn't changed much at all. It felt great seeing everybody again, I really have to make sure I get there more often. This does leave the odd conundrum of my having three groups of friends, all of which are 20 to 30 minutes away and all in completely different directions (Matt & co are north, Ed & co are east, and Darrell & co are south). Gah! Why can't these things be simpler? Maybe I can convince them all to just move into the McMansion down the street...

Meanwhile, my Dad had a reunion with his old bandmates. I don't know how it went yet (they came back after I went to bed), but I do know that my Dad needed this... he almost never talks to his friends anymore, and considering all the crap he tries to deal with all the time, he really needed this.

I'm not looking forward to this week. They're moving me back down to QC in work, which I would complain about if what I had to say actually mattered to any of my bosses. So, this week promises to be filled with tedious, mind-numbing, and unfulfilling work. Honestly, I'm grow more and more unsatisfied with the job again... I just don't really want to be doing this anymore, but I can't afford to stop. I can try looking for a new job, but... I don't know if I can find one that pays like this (meaning, above minimum wage) or better, or even if I can find one that actually has something to do with my career at all. I'd like to find an internship, but I've done nothing to further that goal.

Sigh.

School starts in a couple of weeks, which means my time is going to be wonderfully diced up among school, work, and what little social life I have. And, somewhere in between all of that, I have a book to write in November. Ah well. It begins again!
