Saturday in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

Aah….Saturday.

Feeling pretty good. Presentation yesterday went fine…fairly anticlimactic. Seems that I stressed myself out enough during the last two weeks that I was feeling cool as a cucumber yesterday. No major issues. Nothing “bad” came out of it. Many times these presentations open big cans of squishy worms. Not yesterday’s!

And I looked cute too! That’s very important!! Seriously, I do sooooo much better when I feel like I’m looking halfway decent. I went shopping the night before to find something to wear, and I couldn’t find anything, so I ended up having to put something together in the morning before work. Turned out fine. Everything turned out fine yesterday. For the most part.

Lance news: seems he’s had a “talking-to” by human resources. I guess his whole ordeal has exploded!! I can hardly believe all the crap that’s happened to him. Now he’s trying to decide whether or not to pack it all in and move back to NYC. He’s still weird and all that, but in a way I feel really sorry for the guy. He was only trying to make friends in his different way. I can understand how a lot of people wouldn’t get him. I get him, but I also get annoyed by him. He can be offensive. Maybe that’s not the word….off-putting? I don’t know. He certainly craves attention. And the thing is, once someone gives him attention he seems to latch onto it and not let go! I’ve learned how to handle him. I’ve also managed to work our relationship in such a way that I think we could make a good team and get lots of good work done. I just have to get him to stop talking so much!! I know it’s a little selfish, but I really do want him to stay. And he really does have some interesting (if not bizarre) things to say!!

I didn’t do anything last night. Kinda wanted to do happy hour, but by the time I left work, nobody was around! Got a call from Stephanie…she said people were coming to her place to grill. I didn’t feel like going up there. I hate to say this, but I really don’t like her boyfriend all that much. I don’t think he’s very nice to her. At least it doesn’t really show on the outside. Maybe he’s wonderful to her, but they have had a lot of turbulence between them. For months, she’s been going back and forth about him. I can’t believe he moved in with her!! She let him! Oh well, she’s young. She’ll learn. I guess I was even younger when I lived with a guy. But we dated for a long, long time…and I was so sure about him.

(sigh) …those were the days….

Okay, back to reality. I have tons I need to do today!! Getting ready for a business trip out of the country. I’m nervous about this one. Central America. Never been down there. There was a “caution” put out yesterday. More than 70 inmates broke out of a Guatemalan maximum-security prison on Tuesday and most of them have not been found!! The Caution also mentioned the fact that most of these escapees are violent crime offenders!!!! Great. I can’t wait.

More about this later when I’m in the right frame of mind.

Better go for now. Laundry and such…need to clean the apartment and go to the store to get supplies!

Adios.
