swingchickiethe weekend was so nice and relaxing, i can't believe it's already time to go back to work. argh. i did nothing yesterday. that's right, nothing. i did a little bit of xmas shopping in the morning, and then i came home and sat my lazy butt down for the rest of the day. napped, watched tv, completely vegged out. yes, i wasted the day... but it was a much-needed mental break.
i had an unnerving experience at the supermarket last night... right in the produce section when you walk in, there's a refrigerator case full of Odwalla juices, and i always get 1 or 2 of the "super C monster" ones when i go because they have an insane amount of vitamin C in them (2000% in a little bottle). so when i went last night, as i walked over to the case, a store employee wheeled a cart full of items to re-stock, right in front of the case. i said a little perky "oops, 'scuse me" and reached around the cart to grab a juice and go. as i put my hand on the juice, however, i heard his voice next to me saying loudly, "i'm in your way." and as i put it in my basket and glanced at him to say "nope, you're fine", i somewhere in the back of my mind recognized him from somewhere. but i don't know where. he has a severe mental handicap, and all i could get from my memory was that his name is john, and that i had had one or several experiences with him where he was really mean. which probably sounds awful to say about someone with a handicap, but it was an immediate feeling/memory i got as soon as i recognized him from somewhere. and as i walked away, he kept yelling at me, at the top of his lungs: "I'M IN YOUR WAY!!! I'M IN YOUR WAY!!!!" and giving me this really angry look as i glanced back at him. i feel bad -- was i rude for reaching around and grabbing a juice? should i have said/done something differently? and god, i wish i could remember how i knew him. i've been searching the depths of my memory, and nothing's coming up.
today should be a decent day. all-day meeting in philly with one of the teams i work on. of course there will be 500 e-mails waiting for me when we're done around 9pm, which is not fun.
i need to get some things accomplished this week... the weeks are flying by because work is so nuts. i'm making 2 little goals for myself this week: 1. finish my xmas cards, and 2. finish unpacking my boxes. i don't want next weekend to come, and still have all this stuff hanging over my head.
i also want to find more social stuff to do next weekend. (perhaps revisit my failed coffee shop attempt of a few weeks ago?) unfortunately, i don't think any of the social stuff is going to be with my karaoke buddy. we can't be just friends because there's some chemistry there... but we can't do the friends-with-benefits thing 'cause he's dating a couple of people and i just can't get into that. so we're spending all of our time debating all the parameters of our hanging out, and i'm still left unsatisfied. (and i don't mean just physically.) *sigh*. bummer, he was really nice.
make it a good week, guys... remember, i'm living vicariously through you all...
